Announcing Nessus 1.1.7 (experimental, one step closer to 1.2.0)
Ok, here's Nessus 1.1.7 already.

* changes by Renaud Deraison (deraison at nessus.org)
+ Compiles on platforms without OpenSSL
+ Better Solaris support

+ Ported under Darwin (many thanks to Dieter Fiebelkorn (dieter

at fiebelkorn.net) who actually started the port and helped
me test this)
+ Unscanned ports can now be considered as closed or open

(instead of just open), at user choice
+ Upgraded to libtool 1.4.2

+ fixed a bug in the client which would make it display the

wrong report when doing multiple scans
+ enhanced the plugins filter (that appear when pressing 'l' in

the GUI)
+ fixed a serious problem in the SMB plugins which would

prevent them to work against Samba and which would make them
slow against Windows (pointed out by Georges Dagousset)
* changes by Iouri Pletnev (Iouri.Pletnec at xacta.com)
+ Ported under Cygwin

* changes by Michel Arboi (arboi at algoriel.fr)
+ Added nessus-mkrand for hosts with no /dev/random AND no EGD

running


The usual warning :
*** Nessus 1.1.x is labeled as being experimental. This means that you
*** should not expect things to be completely polished. For instance
*** the server spits a lot of SSL debug messages which are not pretty,
*** or some functionality may not work as expected...
*** "Experimental" also means that things may crash, as the code was
*** less tested
