Renaud: I tried using it a while back and, if my memory is working today, it only showed "new" vulnerabilities. It did not show the absense of vulnerbilities from the first scan. If it showed both new vulnerabilities and vulnerbilities that were in the first scan but not in the second, I would find it a worthwhile tool.
Thanks for all of your efforts.
