There are also several packaging changes in this release:

- Scanning of RAR archive contents has been disabled due to non-free
licensing of the related code;

- The default DatabaseDirectory has been moved to /var/lib/clamav for
FHS compliance.

- The system json-c, llvm, and libmspack libraries are used in place of
bundled versions.
