Hallo again,
it seems that all reported flaws of 0.80-beta engine should be solved now, thus, it's the right time to pass this RC engine back to our betatesters . VPS loading should be even faster, one new winexec unpacker was added, one minor race in daemon's logger fixed, CAB unpacker newly available in Preferences, and outer recursions into Time Machine volumes (to get reasonable time for overall scan) supressed.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BETATESTERS:
installation:0) if you don't have avast! for Mac yet, get it here:
http://files.avast.com/files/mac/avast.2.74.zip1) download and unzip
http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/md82.zip, you will get new com.avast.MacAvast.MAD engine
2) quit both avast! and agent from avast's menubar (if grayed out, uncheck persistent mode in Preferences first)
3) go to the /Applications/avast!.app/Contents/Resources and make a backup of the previous com.avast.MacAvast.MAD
4) place the new com.avast.MacAvast.MAD file there, and run avast! again
verification:hover mouse above VPS 0901xx-x text in the left upper corner -
Engine version: 0.0.82-beta must be shown there (not 0.0.68 nor 0.0.69 nor 0.0.80-beta)
task:do the scan of your harddrive - the more files/stuff = the better. the scan must complete flawlessly, daemon shouldn't die, neither the GUI.
in the case of any problem (futile cycling, crash), please let me immediately know (cimbal :at: avast.com). in the case of no problem, please let me immdiately know too
.
back to previous version:apply the steps 1) to 4) again, just use the previously backed-up com.avast.MacAvast.MAD file (or, when lost, get one here:
http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/md69.zip)
... and note, it's NOT new version of avast! yet - just the release candidate of the core engineRegards,
pc
Any help/report/suggestion will be very appreciated.
