Project Filelist for OpenVAS

This is the eighth maintenance release of the openvas-scanner 5.0 module for
the Open Vulnerability Assessment System release 8 (OpenVAS-8).

This release addresses an issue related to the 'scanner_plugins_timeout'
preference and contains several small improvements to e.g. signal handling and
scheduling.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release:
