Fixed: Diff update code not working correctly since 1.17
Fixed: A second temp directory is being created at a different level
Deactivated the automatic recompression of the database after diff updates to increase update speed and performance. Compressing and decompressing several times a day to save 15Mb of disk space makes no sense.

New: using the new bytecode.cvd database (disable with -nobytecode)
New: using the safebrowsing database (disable with -nosafebrowsing)
New: using the patch database files to allow smaller database downloads

Version 1.9.4
New: Additionnal "raw" virus test to detect header viruses and pass the SaneSecurity test

Now using ClamAV 0.91.2 engine.
Version 1.7.1
Now using ClamAV 0.91.1 engine.

Fixed: (v1.46) The filter may fail to detect uuencoded viruses.
Now bypasses the initial "magic" filetype detection. The ClamAV internal scanmail() function is directly called (more efficient, more accurate since it's a mail filter)
Now passes all the virus tests from http://www.webmail.us/testvirus and http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/ (real virus tests only, clamav is an virus scanner, not an exploit scanner)
Version 1.4.9
Fixed: The X-CGP-ClamAV-Infected-By header is not reporting the virus name but an unrelated number
Version 1.4.8
Now using ClamAV 0.88 engine.
