Release 1.0.4 (2008-06-27):
---------------------------

Consolidation release. Various cleanups and bug fixes are included in this
release. Most obvious is the simplified connection dialog. Also, some changes to
be compatible with future Server updates are already integrated (OTP, OIDs).

Main changes since 1.0.3:

* new: Reports now show the name and OID of the NVT together with it's results.
* new: Support for the upcoming OpenVAS Transport Protocol (OTP) has been
  introduced into OpenVAS-Client.

* improved: Command line parsing has been completely reworked.

* fixed: Fixed issues with credential preferences showing up incorrectly in the
  preferences dialog.
* fixed: Fixed a bug that could result in filename corruption or segmentation
  faults when exporting a report from the OpenVAS-Client GUI.
* fixed: Fixed issues that prevented OpenVAS-Client from compiling without GTK
  support. It is now possible to compile OpenVAS-Client without GUI support if
  desired.
* fixed: Fixed a bug in report conversion that resulted in incorrect memory
  allocation on certain 64bit installations.
* fixed: Fixed a bug that resulted in a segmentation fault when connecting
  to the server while using an alternate configuration file.
* fixed: Fixed a bug that resulted in a segmentation fault when the user
  supplied an inconclusive filename for the results file in batch mode.
* fixed: Fixed a bug that resulted in a segmentation fault when running
  in batch mode with a non-existent targets file and the html_graph output type.

* removed: Support for unencrypted connections has been removed from
  OpenVAS-Client since unencrypted connections to the server were no longer
  possible since OpenVAS-Server 0.9.0.
* removed: Support for saving reports in the legacy XML format was removed as
  this format has already been superseded by a new XML format and was marked as
  deprecated.

Release 1.0.3 (2008-04-04):
---------------------------

Small improvements release.

Main changes since 1.0.2:

* fixed: The default external links for HTML/PDF reports
  now not anymore link to nessus.org but to securityfocus.com (BID),
  mitre.org (CVE) and openvas.org (OpenVAS ID).
  You will also note that the OpenVAS Change Request #1
  http://www.openvas.org/openvas-cr-1.html
  has been considered in the OpenVAS ID default URL as it
  uses the convenience URL for the new OID concept.
  The URLs will get active in the near future.
* fixed: better localization of PDF reports.
* fixed: in case caching was switched off and connection to server
  established, seg-fault crashes occured with the previous version.
* new: Expands/Collapses tree-list widgets upon left/right arrow keys.
* fixed: various links in the reports now direct to OpenVAS, not Nessus.
* new: configurable sort order for reports (host/port/severity
  or port/host/severity).
* removed: any support for NSR (the old Nessus report format),
  according the OpenVAS Change Request #2:
  http://www.openvas.org/openvas-cr-2.html
* removed: any documentation about the Nessus Transfer Protocol
  as it was redundant with the documentation in openvas-server
  where it belongs to.
* update: of Debian packaging files.
* code-cleanups: various unused variables and compiler warnings resolved.

Release 1.0.2 (2007-12-18):
---------------------------

Only Debian packaging and license/copyright clearifications release.

These changes result from the Debian policy QA process
for uptake of OpenVAS-Client into Debian GNU/Linux.
They do not change the actual software at all.

Main changes since 1.0.1:

* Added debian packaging files under packagig/debian.
* Made copyright and licensing information more explicit.


Release 1.0.1 (2007-10-23):
---------------------------

Minor fixes release.

Main changes since 1.0.0:

* Removed non-free text files (README_SSL, doc/WARNING.En, doc/WARNING.Fr)
* Now temporary files are prefixed with "openvas" instead of "nessus"
  which should better avoid conflicts for parallel use of OpenVAS-Client
  and Nessus-Client.
* Minor code cleanups.

Release 1.0.0 (2007-09-18):
---------------------------

After some 0.9 releases this is finally the intial
1.0 release of OpenVAS-Client.

OpenVAS-Client is a successor of NessusClient 1.X.
The fork happened with NessusClient CVS HEAD 20070704.
The reason was that the original author of NessusClient
decided to stop active development for this (GTK-based)
NessusClient in favour of a newly written QT-based version
released as proprietary software.

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. The following additional languages are supported:
german, spanish, swedish and hebrew.

Main changes since 0.9.1:

* New language: spanish.
* New language: hebrew.
* Various code cleanups.
* Various string fixes.
* Added some scripts to support W32 installer packaging.

Release 0.9.1 (2007-07-31):
---------------------------

This is a cleanup and minor improvements release.

Main changes since 0.9.0:

* Removed users manual which now forms a package
  of its own ("openvas-manual").
* Decreased memory consumption considerably for
  the case when looking into many different reports
  with more or less the same plugins.
* Added menu entry to execute "sladinstaller" GUI.
  SLAD is the Security Local Auditing Daemon which
  comes with some NASL scripts and thus can now be fully managed
  through OpenVAS-Client.
* Updated german translation.

Release 0.9.0 (2007-07-19):
