End of Life : Nessus < 2.2.9, all-2.0.tar.gz

[Renaud Deraison <deraison@nessus.org>]

Hello everyone,


As Nessus 2.2.10 is nearing its release, I'd like to take some time  
to announce the end of life of older versions :

- Starting on July 15th 2007, all version of Nessus older than Nessus  
2.2.9 will not be taken into account when writing new plugins. This  
means that a plugin update done on a version older than Nessus 2.2.9  
might break the whole scan. Nessus 2.2.9 and newer will still work  
and be taken into account every time we write new plugins.
Each new release of Nessus 2.x contains bug fixes and we can not work  
around them for ever, so please upgrade.

- Also on July 15th, the file http://www.nessus.org/all-2.0.tar.gz,  
which contains the GPL plugins, will be moved to http:// 
www.nessus.org/all-2.0-gpl.tar.gz. There are still many unmaintained  
scanners out there which download this file too often, thus resulting  
in a bad quality of service for the rest of the community.

All Nessus 2.x users should now take some time to prepare upgrading  
either to Nessus 2.2.9 (or 2.2.10 in a couple of weeks) or to 3.x  
before July 15th.

Thank you,

                                -- Renaud
