Release Name: 3.0.0

Notes:
This is the 3.0.0 release of the openvas-client module for the Open
Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS).

OpenVAS 3.0 introduces a new architecture where openvas-libraries is now
mandatory dependency for openvas-client (removing a significant amount
of redundant source code).

New features of OpenVAS-Client include support for IPv6 and OpenVAS
Management Protocol (OMP). The latter is optional for use of the new
OpenVAS Manager. OpenVAS-Client 3.0 remains compatible with OpenVAS 2.0
Scanners.

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to the 3.0.0 release:
Chandrashekhar B, Marcus Brinkmann, Tim Brown, Christian Kuersteiner,
Matthew Mundell, Srinivasa NL, Jan-Oliver Wagner, Michael Wiegand
and Felix Wolfsteller.
