<h2>Project News</h2>
-<h3>August 10th, 2009 - The second OpenVAS Developer Conference and Workshop was a success</h3>
+<h3>December 18th, 2009 - Network Security Scanner OpenVAS 3.0.0 Released</h3>
<p>
-The second OpenVAS Developer Conference was held in Osnabrück from July 9th to July 12th.
-A workshop preceded it on July 8th.
+On December 18th, 2009, the OpenVAS developer team released OpenVAS 3.0.0. The
+release introduces new features and a new architecture which form the basis for
+turning the vulnerability scanner into a vulnerability management solution.
</p>
+
<p>
-With 16 participants from 4 continents we had lots of fruitful discussions, fun
-and even did an important <a href="http://bugs.openvas.org/779">bug fix</a>!<br>
-See details about the <a href="openvas-devcon2.html">conference and workshop</a>.
-The <a href="openvas-devcon2-minutes.html">minutes</a> are also online now.
+The GPL-licensed Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) has become
+<i>the</i> Open Source Security Scanner. It is complemented with the largest
+open collection of security tests, the daily updated OpenVAS NVT Feed with over
+15,500 Network Vulnerability Tests (NVTs).
</p>
<p>
-<a href="openvas-devcon2-minutes.html">Read more...</a>
+Exactly 1 year after version 2.0.0 was released, the new 3.0 generation
+introduces:
+<ul>
+<li>A new internal architecture of the modules
+<li>NVT Meta Information that is free of arbitrary size limits
+<li>IPv6 support
+<li>WMI clients support
+<li>Supports upcoming optional extensions:
+<ul>
+ <li>OpenVAS Manager for storing and organizing scans on a central server in a
+ SQL database
+ <li>OpenVAS Administrator for User-, Feed- and Settings-Management
+ <li>Greenbone Security Assistent for a Vulnerability Management Interface
+</ul>
+</ul>
</p>
-<h3>April 9th, 2009 - OpenVAS now beyond 10000 Network Vulnerability Tests</h3>
+<p>
+<b>Compatibility:</b><br>
+The new OpenVAS Scanner remains compatible with the OpenVAS NVT Feed as well as
+with the Greenbone Security Feed. Also, it is possible to use the new OpenVAS
+Scanner with the OpenVAS-Client 2.0. OpenVAS Client 3.0 can connect to both
+concurrently, OpenVAS Scanner 3.0 and OpenVAS Server 2.0 and even connect to
+OpenVAS Manager via the new OpenVAS Management Protocol (OMP).
+</p>
<p>
-Passing the 10000th Network Vulnerability Test (NVT) is a perfect
-occasion to report about the progress of the OpenVAS project[1].
+OpenVAS Client 3.0 can connect to both OpenVAS Scanner 3.0 and OpenVAS Server
+2.0 concurrently, and even to OpenVAS Manager via the new OpenVAS Management
+Protocol (OMP).
</p>
<p>
-In October 2008 the systematic development of new NVTs
-started with a base of around 5800 Tests. With the release
-of OpenVAS 2.0 in December 2008, the development was boosted
-and has now reached an average of 10 code updates per day.
-The public OpenVAS NVT Feed Service delivers 3-10 new vulnerability
-tests every day.
+<b>New Module Architecture:</b><br>
+OpenVAS 3.0 introduces a new architecture where openvas-libraries now includes
+openvas-libnasl as well as redundant code from openvas-client. The module
+openvas-server has been renamed to openvas-scanner and includes any
+platform-dependent elements of openvas-plugins. As a result of this, the total
+number of source code lines decreased, though new features were added. Also,
+for running just the core scanner only 2 modules are required (instead of 4 as
+is the case for OpenVAS 2.0).
</p>
<p>
-<a href="announcement-10000-nvt.html">Read more...</a>
+<b>Maintenance:</b><br>
+Version 3.0 will be maintained by the OpenVAS team for at least 2 years and the
+maintenance of Version 2.0 will continue for at least one year. Version 1.0 is
+being retired in January 2010.
</p>
-<h3>December 17th, 2008 - OpenVAS 2.0.0 released</h3>
+<p>
+<b>Downloads:</b><br>
+All download links for OpenVAS 3.0.0 and additional information can be found on
+the OpenVAS website. OpenVAS 3.0.0 has been released initially as a source code
+package; binary packages for various distributions are expected to follow.
+</p>
<p>
-On December 17th, 2008, the OpenVAS developer team released OpenVAS 2.0.0
-which marks the start of the next generation of the Open Vulnerability
-Assessment System for network security scanning.
+The OpenVAS team would like to thank everybody who has contributed to this
+release. We have worked hard to bring you a reliable network security scanner.
+If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to use the public
+mailing list and our online chat. Please use the <a
+href="http://bugs.openvas.org/">OpenVAS bug tracker</a> to report bugs.

-<h3>December 5th, 2008 - OpenVAS 2.0-rc1 released</h3>
+<h3>August 10th, 2009 - The second OpenVAS Developer Conference and Workshop was a success</h3>
<p>
-The OpenVAS developers are happy to announce the release of the 2.0-rc1

-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
