Re: [clamav-users] ClamAV 0.105 release candidate
Oops! We should've double checked the links.

The release notes were manually copied from a vscode rendering of https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav/blob/main/NEWS.md#notable-changes. I'll fix it in the blog post.

Regards,

LLVM 13 has been shipping since October (eg it is in Ubuntu 21.10 Impish)
and the new Ubuntu LTS version is expected to have LLVM 14.

I hope that you can keep up with the LLVM project !
