The full list of fixes for the release from Sourcefire are in the changelog. The minor release update nevertheless contains a relatively major new feature called Malware Statistics Gathering.
Users of the antivirus scanner can use this feature to report statistics back to the ClamAV folks, who then hope to gain a better understanding through analyzing this data of malware trends and how attack patterns and methods are geographically clustered.
