openvas-client-3.0.3-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm

List of things that should/could be done
to improve OpenVAS-Client:

2009-01-09  Felix Wolfsteller <felix.wolfsteller@intevation.de>

	* Indicate that a scan was not finished if it was cancelled or an error
	occured. So far, the report look as if everything went fine (and if you
	push STOP SCAN early enough there are no holes, warnings, whatsoever).

2009-01-02  Felix Wolfsteller <felix.wolfsteller@intevation.de>

	* Rename nessus/prefs_dialog and modules inside it. File and
	function names in there became unbearable and misleading.

2008-10-21  Felix Wolfsteller <felix.wolfsteller@intevation.de>

	* GUI/usability: Add context-menus on right mouse button click.

	* GUI/usability: Plugin-info dialog is just available via double-click;
	communicate this possibility more (menu entry, button).

	* GUI/usability: Plugin-info dialog does not allow mark and copy for the
	text fields like CVE. Allow it.

2008-07-01  Michael Wiegand <michael.wiegand@intevation.de>

	* Relating to Jans entry on 2006-01-23: The menu item "Save Global
	Settings" is probably redundant and confusing as the global settings are
	saved anyway on exit. The only thing the menu item does apart from
	saving the global settings is saving the plugin preferences.

	So if I make a plugin selection and change the plugin preferences, but
	forget to use "Save Global Settings" the plugin selection will be saved,
	but not the plugin preferences.

2007-09-24  Jan-Oliver Wagner <jan-oliver.wagner@intevation.de>

	* Establish a w32 cross-compilation environment and the
	automatic building of Windows installer packages via nsis
	(replacing the current manual creation guided for InnoSetup).
	Ideally, the system should work similar to Gpg4win (www.gpg4win.org)
	where on Linux a single "make" will build everything for windows
	as well.

2006-01-23  Jan-Oliver Wagner <jan-oliver.wagner@intevation.de>

	* Explicit saving of preferences

  Currently, the preferences are saved implictley
  (general options when leaving a task/scope,
  plugin preferences only after a executing a scan)

  This induces problems such as:

  * Non-default preferences for Nmap (NASL wrapper) set under global
    settings are not remembered between sessions.··

  * If non-default preferences are set for Nmap (NASL wrapper) under
    global settings, and then a new task is created, the new task has the
    default settings not the modified ones.

  No estimate how much work this would mean and what to
  do exactly, but estimated to be a comprehensive change.
