Announces for new versions will contain the list of changes. Otherwise,
you can always read nessus-core/CHANGES

Hmm... that works, but it's not terribly efficient. I found the announcements posted on the website, but they're a little lite on details (as it should be, since you wouldn't want detailed changes clogging your news page). Also, it doesn't seem to cover experimental releases, since I cannot find an announcement for 2.3.0.


As for reading the CHANGES file, this is exactly the kind of information I was looking for, but downloading the latest Nessus package just to find out what's changed and see if I need it is, as I said above, rather inefficient.

I'd like to make a suggestion. The Gaim project links to their changelog directly from the website, and is updated with each release:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog


I think something like that would be very useful for Nessus as well. Just update it with each release, and anyone interested can now very easily see a list of what's new/fixed/changed.

Any other opinions on this? Or am I the only one that feels this way? Oh, and please don't take any of this as negative criticism - I love the product and swear by it. Just wanted to provide a little (hopefully) constructive feedback.
