This could cause slight compatibility problem (annoyance better to
say), not visible at first. Namely, existing cache with .desc will be
left and not deleted, while the new one will be created with
.nasl.desc extension. This should be taken care of during the upgrade.

Should this be better versioned as 2.1 because the third numeral
usually means only bug fixes and minor changes?

Well, I see this progresses well. :) There is one optimization when
cache is created that could be made. Namely, when plugin is loaded and
parsed then it's stored in cache and then reloaded. I have to see if
this reloading could be avoided. This will save one disk access (even
though it is cached by the OS).
