SUMMARY OF RELEASE CHANGES FOR GVM-TOOLS

For detailed code changes, please visit https://github.com/greenbone/gvm-tools/commits/master or get the entire source code repository and view log history: $ git clone https://github.com/greenbone/gvm-tools.git $ cd gvm-tools && git log

gvm-tools 2.0.0.beta2 (unreleased)

Configfile

  • The structure for the config file (default is ~/.config/gvm-tools.conf) has changed. It's possible to set defaults for nearly all command line arguments.

Other

  • The commandline help for gvm-cli and gvm-pyshell has been updated and made more consistent.
  • Fix a bug which caused gvm-pyshell to immediately re-enter interactive mode upon exiting it for the first time.
  • Renamed --ssh-user switch to --ssh-username
  • Added --ssh-password switch for ssh connection

gvm-tools 2.0.0.beta1 (13.11.2018)

gvm-tools got split into the command line interfaces (gvm-cli and gvm-pyshell) including the gmp (example) scripts and the Python API. The Python API can now be found at python-gvm. During this split the python package name for the API got changed from gmp to gvm. The API has also been refactored and stabilized. For details please take a look at python-gvm.

Scripts

  • It's now possible to write OSP scripts. Using the --protocol=OSP switch gvm-pyshell adds a global osp object instead of the gmp one.
  • The __name__ variable is set to __gmp__ for GMP scripts and to __osp__ for OSP scripts (Remember: for normal Python scripts __name__ is set to __main__).
  • Scripts are only getting two global variables now: gmp (or osp) and args. gmp and osp are the global objects to communicate with the remote gvmd or ospd daemon. args contains the parsed arguments for the script.
  • The global args object only contains script related parameters now. These username and password from the --gmp-username and --gmp-password switches and the additional scripts parameters as args.argv.
  • GMPError got renamed to GvmError and must be imported from gvm.errors module. 
    from gvm.errors import GvmError as GMPError
  • Added new client helper module.
  • pretty function isn't available as a global function in the scripts anymore. It must be imported separately like 
    from gvmtools.helper import pretty_print as pretty
  • The included gmp scripts have been cleaned up and adjusted for the new API.
  • It's possible to get the current versions of gvm-tools via __version__ and python-gvm via __api_version__.

Other

  • Removed experimental gvm-dialog application.
  • Use pipenv for development.
