This is the first release of the openvas-scanner module 6.0 for the
Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM) framework.

This version inherits all elements of the former openvas-libraries that were
used by OpenVAS Scanner only.

and clean-ups.

    with g_debug facility.

  • OpenVAS reload has been improved.
  • Code related to redis queries was improved.
  • An issue which caused nasl-lint to fail in case of unneeded nested functions
    has been addressed.
  • An issue which caused returning erroneous values by
    get_plugin_preference() has been addressed.
  • An issue which cause stuck scans where only a single plugin is running
    and is beyond its timeout has been addressed.
  • Unused internal_send/recv() functions have been removed.
