Hmm... that works, but it's not terribly efficient.  I found the 
announcements posted on the website, but they're a little lite on details 
(as it should be, since you wouldn't want detailed changes clogging your 
news page).  Also, it doesn't seem to cover experimental releases, since I 
cannot find an announcement for 2.3.0.

As for reading the CHANGES file, this is exactly the kind of information I 
was looking for, but downloading the latest Nessus package just to find out 
what's changed and see if I need it is, as I said above, rather inefficient.

I'd like to make a suggestion.  The Gaim project links to their changelog 
directly from the website, and is updated with each release:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog

I think something like that would be very useful for Nessus as well.  Just 
update it with each release, and anyone interested can now very easily see a 
list of what's new/fixed/changed.

Any other opinions on this?  Or am I the only one that feels this way?  Oh, 
and please don't take any of this as negative criticism - I love the product 
and swear by it.  Just wanted to provide a little (hopefully) constructive 
feedback.
