Tue Jul 28 19:18:18 CEST 2009 - bitshuffler@opensuse.org
- Updated to 1.0.7
* A number of NVTs have been adjusted to provide inform if they were unable to
complete their checks instead of failing silently. This may lead to larger
reports depending on your individual configuration.
* Several so-called "C-Plugins" (suffix .nes) have been replaced by NASL equivalents.
If you want to remove these deprecated NVTs, you should eliminate any *.nes file
from your plugins directory before installing the new openvas-plugins 1.0.6.
* If you are applying openvas-nvt-sync to be in sync with the OpenVAS NVT Feed,
then you already have most of the changes and updates in your plugin
directory. However, you should take care of removing the superfluous
"C-Plugins" (see above).
* More than 1,000 new NVTs have been added.
* A large number of existing NVTs have been updated and improved.
* The Local Security Checks Generator (LSC-Generator) is now able to
generate LSCs for Gentoo and HP-UX as well.
* A number of NVTs using the tool "hydra" have been removed from
openvas-plugins due to licensing issues. Please refer to the ChangeLog
for details.

- updated to version 1.0.2
* Bugfix in "openvas-nvt-sync": Wrong quoting in this script
created strange directory structure in OpenVAS server installation.
This is fixed now.
In case you started this script as shipped by openvas-plugins 1.0.1,
you should manually remove the directory, e.g.:
# cd /usr/lib/openvas
# ls -l (watch-out for the directory named '"')
# rm -rf \"
* 8 new Debian Local Security Checks
contributed by www.securityspace.com
* 6 new Windows Local Security Checks and generic
Linux Security Checks, by DN-Systems.

Checks based in smbclient.
