OpenVAS Toolchain for Network Vulnerability Tests Established and Stable,
Now Focussing on Tests Development and Documentation

In July 2008 the OpenVAS developer team finished the update
cycle of the 1.0 release including all four server modules and the
client.

The most work during this update cycle went into cleanups and support for
RPM and Debian packagers.
The number of necessary bug-fixes remained pleasing low.

OpenVAS installation packages are readily available for various platforms:
OpenSUSE, Fedora, Mandrake, FreeBSD and Gentoo. Debian and Ubuntu are in
the works. OpenVAS-Client is additionally available for MS Windows operating
systems.

The OpenVAS developer team has started creating a comprehensive documentation 
for the whole toolchain; the next major challenge for the project is now to 
extend the range of the vulnerability tests for present and upcoming CVEs, 
BIDs etc.

It is a fundamental goal of the OpenVAS project team to accompany
the Free Software OpenVAS network security scanner licensend
under GNU GPL with a feed of vulnerability tests being Open Source
and readily available for everyone as well.
Additional contributors are welcome to join the OpenVAS developer
team.
