Main changes compared to the 7.0 series:
* The minimum required version of GnuTLS has been raised to 2.12.
* The knowledge base (KB) back end is now based on Redis. This make the hiredis
  library a mandatory prerequisite.
* The libssh library is now a mandatory prerequisite.
* OpenVAS Libraries now uses the openvas-smb module for optional WMI and related
  functionality.
* Optional SNMP support has been added, this make Net-SNMP an optional
  prerequisite.
* Support for using ECDSA SSH keys has been added. This requires libssh 0.6.0 or
  newer.
* Support for PKCS#8 encrypted SSH keys has been added.
* Support for the new OpenVAS Scanner Protocol (OSP) has been added.
* New option "-B" for command line tool "openvas-nasl" to make the script run in
  description mode first.
* Export file names are now more customizable.
* The built-in find_service plugin now sends a Host header with HTTP GET
  requests.
* The Host header for HTTP(S) requests will no longer include the port number if
  the port is 80 or 443 respectively.
* The public key part for SSH credentials is no longer required as it is
  redundant.
* Support for the obsolete OMP rcfile element has been removed.
* Support for the obsolete target locators concept has been removed.
* Support for pausing scan tasks has been removed.
* Support for the scanner option "ntp_short_status" has been removed. This was a
  condensed syntax for OTP "STATUS" command.
* NVTi cache files no longer include the "src" element.

* Issues which caused some task properties to not be transferred correctly to
  scan slaves have been fixed.

  benefits from.
