Changes:
Main changes since 1.0.5:

* More than 4,000 new NVTs have been added.
* A large number of existing NVTs have been updated and improved.
* The build environment has been updated.
* The plugin_feed_info.inc file has been removed from the openvas-plugins module
since it has been returned to its real purpose and is provided by security
feed providers now.
* A generator for Local Security Checks has been added. This tools was used
to create NASL-scripts for OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, RedHat, Fedora back to January
1st, 2007.
* Support for the improved SSH credential management available in openvas-server
2.0.1 and later has been added.
* openvas-plugins can now be configured and installed without the
--enable-install configuration option.
* An install-minimal target has been added to the build target. This target will
install openvas-plugins without any *.nasl and *.inc files which is useful for
testing purposes or when synchronization with a security feed will occur
anyway after installation.
* Obsolete inline signatures have been removed from files which still contained
them.
* A number of obsolete NASL_LEVEL checks have been removed.
* The following NVTs written in C have been replaced with NASL scripts:
- ftp_write_dirs (by ftp_writeable_directories.nasl)
- linux_tftp (by tftpd_detect.nasl and tftpd_dir_trav.nasl)
- smad (by remote-smtp-smad.nasl)
- nmap_wrapper (by nmap.nasl)
- objectserver (by remote-sgi-objectserver.nasl)

To upgrade:
yum upgrade openvas-plugins
