This is the first release of the gvm-libs module 1.0 for the Greenbone
Vulnerability Management 10 (GVM-10) framework.

It derives from the former openvas-libraries module. Any elements of the
old module that were used by OpenVAS Scanner only, were moved into the
module openvas-scanner. Also the protocol OMP was renamed to GMP.

Compared to the previous openvas-libraries major release, it covers
various improvements for the GVM services and applications, as well as a
number of significant advances and clean-ups.

Main changes compared to gvm-libs 1.0+beta2:

  • Several changes in KB backend has been done to improve Redis performance.
  • New filename placeholders for the last modification date were added.
  • Initialization of gcrypt was improved to avoid trying to initialize the
    memory pool twice.
  • An issue which causes the loss of the path to the configuration file has
    been addressed.
  • Code used for Windows support has been removed.
  • Memory management issues have been addressed.
  • Several code improvements and clean-ups have been done.
  • Documentation has been improved.
