Hello, OpenVAS-Client is a successor of NessusClient. The fork happened with NessusClient CVS HEAD 20070704. The reason was that the original authors of NessusClient decided to stop active development for this (GTK-based) NessusClient in favour of a newly written QT-based version released as propietary software. OpenVAS-Client can be used as a client for OpenVAS as well as for Nessus server.
OpenVAS-Client is licensed under GNU GPLv2 and may be linked with OpenSSL. Release 0.9.1 is a cleanup and minor improvements release. This release is the basis for packaging tests and further translations into other languages. Except for translations and bug fixes identified though packaging/testing no changes are planned for the major 1.0.0 release. Main changes since 0.9.0: * Removed users manual which now forms a package of its own ("openvas-manual"). * Decreased memory consumption considerably for the case when looking into many different reports with more or less the same plugins. * Added menu entry to execute "sladinstaller" GUI. SLAD is the Security Local Auditing Daemon which comes with some NASL scripts and thus can now be fully managed through OpenVAS-Client. * Updated german translation.
