Hello, the OpenVAS developers are happy to announce the release of the 2.0-rc1 versions of openvas-libraries, openvas-libnasl, openvas-server and openvas-client.
This release is the first release candidate for the upcoming 2.0 release of OpenVAS. Unless serious bugs are discovered, this release candidate will become the final OpenVAS 2.0 release. Users are encouraged to test this release and to report bugs to the OpenVAS bug tracker located at http://bugs.openvas.org/ . This release marks another milestone towards the improvement of the OpenVAS infrastructure; it uses the finalized version of OTP, the new OpenVAS Transport Protocol which debuted in 2.0-beta1 and has now completely replaced the old Nessus Transport Protocol (NTP). If you have used the 2.0-beta2 release, we recommend that you update all your OpenVAS modules (openvas-libraries, openvas-libnasl, openvas-server and openvas-client) to 2.0-rc1. If you are currently using the stable 1.0.x branch and want to take part in testing this release candidate, we recommend that you install 2.0-rc1 separately from your OpenVAS 1.0 installation. Instructions on how to do this are available from the OpenVAS website. In either case, you can continue to use openvas-plugins 1.0.x and the OpenVAS NVT Feed, because OpenVAS 2.0 will stay compatible. Please refer to the CHANGES files in the individual modules for detailed information on the changes since the 2.0-beta2 release. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release candidate, keep your patches, suggestions and ideas coming!
