- performance problems would arise when reading/writing KB files when scanning big networks
- nasl -T - script.nasl now makes script debugging easier
- Slightly faster initial plugins processing
- More robust plugins database backend
- On Mac OS X, users can be managed graphically thru the Nessus Server Manager program
- Updated the plugins distributed with the archive



We are thrilled to add Windows to our set of supported platforms. However, please keep in mind this version is a public beta. Therefore be careful when you use it and do not hesitate to send us your feedback at <windows@nessus.org>
