[Openvas-announce] OpenVAS-Client 0.9.0 released

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

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.

This present release 0.9.0 is a development release for testing.
It can be used as a client for OpenVAS as well as Nessus server.

OpenVAS-Client is licensed under GNU GPLv2 and may be linked
with OpenSSL.

This is the initial release of OpenVAS-Client. Compared to
the NessusClient 1.X release, various new features have
been added, especially caching mechanisms to increase
transparency and increase plugin load speed. Additionally
some visual improvements have been implemented.

appreciates any test results and further comments.

Best regards
