This is a ground-up rewrite of the Aegis Virus Scanner. It was developed as a modular and flexible system that can support multiple backends for monitoring and scanning. Even the user interface is decoupled, so it would not be hard to write an interface for another desktop such as KDE.
This release is the first version of Aegis that
will work on Microsoft Windows. Aegis no longer
needs to be restarted when File::Scan has been
updated, and such updates are checked to make sure
they've returned a valid return code.
The name of the package was changed to
aegis-virus-scanner to avoid conflicts with the
existing aegis program. The version scheme has
also changed. This can be considered the first
"beta" version, although it's been quite stable
for a while now.
