ClamWin Free Antivirus :: View topic - You guys are confusing me... 90.2.1 -> 90.3

It's happening again. I'm getting notified of an outdated DB, but there's no new one yet. Not sure how you're checking, but it looks like the cart is getting in front of the horse....

Last night's DB update:

It isn't an outdated database, it is an outdated scanner.

Clamwin has to port clamav's engine to windows. Whenever there is a new clamav release, freshclam warns that you are using an old version until you start using the newly ported and released clamwin version of clamav.

umpf they changed again the string, alch made a code to hide this warnings to not harm users
btw win32 binaries are merged to 0.90.3, need to wait alch for the release
and also I'm not sure he wants to release a 0.90.3 after so short time from 0.90.2.1
it may confuse users

this string appears in the update log file, not in the UI, therefore no need to rush the release out.
We will make a new build, test it and release in a week or two
