## Major updates
This release represents an update to the 6th quarterly release of AL2023. AL2023 is the next generation of Amazon Linux. It comes with five years of support and brings features such as deterministic updates and better optimizations for Graviton processors into Amazon Linux. AL2023 is ready for production workloads, and you can start migrating from previous versions of Amazon Linux today.
**Notable updates**
+ clamav to clamav1.4 update: The latest version of clamav has been added to the AL2023 core repository in this release. To aid customers in migrating to the latest version, the latest clamav is provided in the clamav1.4 package. In 6 months from this release, installing clamav will install clamav1.4, and it will become the default (target date for transition is around Sept/Oct 2025). The clamav1.4 package will provide new versions of shared libraries, any applications that link to any of the clamav shared libraries will need to be re-linked or rebuilt. The older clamav (v 0.103.12) packages will still be available in the repo after the clamav1.4 packages are made the default, but will not receive further updates or security fixes. To ensure continued security and support, customers should migrate to clamav1.4 immediately.
**Known issues**
+ AL2023 is not yet FIPS certified. AL2023 is in the process of being certified for FIPS 140-3.
