This release contains the following fixes and improvements over 3.0.2 :

than 2 gigabytes
- nessusd would stop in a middle of a scan due to a hard to trigger  
one-byte memory overwrite issue
- ping/packet forgery would fail when scanning a network over a NIC  
which was not enabled when nessusd initially started up
- 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
