Lastest avast4 workstation - test it :)
« on: May 13, 2009, 08:07:04 PM »
Hallo,
here's the latest build (let's call it RC):

http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/linuxedition/avast4workstation-1.4.0-1.i586.rpm
http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/linuxedition/avast4workstation-1.4.0.tar.gz
http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/linuxedition/avast4workstation_1.4.0-2_i386.deb

Please, if you use ANY of the localizations (DE, CS, FI, FR, PT, RU, BG..), check whether the texts are sane ("About Avast" menu item).
Thanks for testing,

regards,
PC

Stoopid question: I need to uninstall first, right, the package won't update the old version?

hallo,
under normal circumstances, the package will overwrite old files at their rightful places, and thus, will 1:1 replace the older version completely.
so, there's no need for uninstalling... but you can do it, if you want to... :).

Just uninstalled and reinstalled on one computer: I'll try the other method on another- thanks.

Updates still take an minor ice age. Are incremental updates coming?

1.4.0 works fine on my debian but....


I don't really see a difference with 1.3.0 version !!

hallo, there's a difference in the underlying engine (newer one, more detections).
