ClamAV Version number adjustment
This is a heads up to the ClamAV community, we are changing our version 
numbering scheme as follows. Our versions will follow x.y.z 
(major.minor.patch). Major releases will be reserved for major feature 
additions or changes that may be incompatible with previous releases. Minor 
releases will be for regular bug fixes and minor feature changes/additions. 
Patches will be reserved for security fixes to address CVE and other critical 
bug fixes.

This change was driven by our need to address a security vulnerability release 
to resolve a number of CVEs which will be published shortly. We internally 
discussed a number of options, and reviewed these options with a few key 
members of the community before making this decision.

What this means for our community members? We will shortly be releasing a 
0.99.3 release. This release will specifically target the aforementioned CVEs. 
The 0.99.3 betas we had previously shared will be renumbered to 0.100.0 instead.

We apologize for any confusion this change will cause, but we feel this will 
impact the least number of community members, while allowing us flexibility to 
quickly address critical bugs or security issues, without undue issues with 
other work underway.
