Hello, The OpenVAS developers are happy to announce the release of openvas-libraries 2.0.1.
This is the first maintenance release of the openvas-libraries module for the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) 2.0 series. It fixes a number of issues discovered after the release of openvas-libraries 2.0.0 and introduces support for upcoming features. Thanks to the continuing audit of the code, a number of obsolete, unused and/or unnecessary functions were identified and removed. The amount and the quality of the source code documentation has been improved as well. Effect when installing this version: The cache of NVT descriptions (located in plugin_folder/.desc/) will be rebuild at next start of openvasd. The cache files used to have the suffix ".desc" instead of ".nasl", e.g. "x.desc" corrsponds to "x.nasl". Now, the suffix ".desc" is appended, e.g. "x.nasl.desc" corresponds to "x.nasl". This also prevents that e.g. "x.nasl" and "x.nes" (or "x.oval") will overwrite each others' cache file. Recommendation: Clean the entire cache directory before restarting openvasd. If you don't do this, the .desc/ directory will contain all cache files twice. Other than unnecessary disk space consumption this has no bad effect. Main changes since 2.0.0: * Renamed caching files to conflict-free scheme * Prepared support for sub-directories in plugins_folder in accordance with Change Request #24 (http://www.openvas.org/openvas-cr-24.html) * Support for improved management of SSH credentials has been added in accordance with Change Request #20 (http://www.openvas.org/openvas-cr-20.html) * Established automated source code documentation. HTML-Version is available under http://www.openvas.org/src-doc/openvas-libraries/2.0.1/index.html Bugfixes: * A configuration issue which caused the build process to fail on Mac OS X has been fixed. (Solves: #761) * Missing includes which caused the build process to fail on Darwin and NetBSD have been added. (Solves: #860, #862) Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release: Tim Brown, Stjepan Gros, Jan-Oliver Wagner, Felix Wolfsteller and Michael Wiegand.
