Hello,
finally the OpenVAS developers are happy to announce that
openvas-plugins 1.0.0 is released.
First stable release with only minimal changes
compared to latest 0.9 version (except for extensive
updates on NASL scripts).
Almost no problems or any sort of issues have been
reported for over two months now.
This release is done basically
to reach the mentally important version 1.0,
there is no technical need to replace openvas-plugins
for a running installation in case the OpenVAS NVT
feed is used to retrieve new NASL scripts (NVTs).
Notes for upgrading from previous versions:
The old NVT files debian_DSA* are not automatically removed
from your installation during synchronization with the feed
and neither with installing this new release.
They do no other harm than doubling the number of alerts during
a scan. Simply remove the files from your installation
(located by default in /usr/lib/openvas/plugins). In doubt,
please contact the OpenVAS developers mailing list.
openvas-plugins is licensed under GNU GPLv2.
Main changes since 0.9.1 (2007-11-07) are:
* Removed any old debian_DSA-*.nasl NVTs and replaced by new
deb_*.nasl as provided by SecuritySpace. In contrast
to the old set, the new one is complete and uptodate (DSA 1478).
* Some new generic NASL routines to support the Debian local
security checks.
* Sync-routine for OpenVAS NVT Feed improved to be independent
of the current working directory.
* Minor improvement of internal licensing auditing routine of
the package files.
