Renaud Deraison, the author of the popular open source security scanner, has announced the release of Nessus 2.0.10. This will be the last release of Nessus 2.0 as Renaud and others are working on the Nessus 2.1. This release fixes several problems with false positive and path detection and better service fingerprinting (I wonder if they could use NMAP for this).
Some new features are:

Service version fingerprinting
WWW fingerprinting
IP addresses are now sorted in EVERY report
Automagically rewrite banners to handle distributions which do back-porting of security fixes (ie: Debian)
Non-intrusive OS-fingerprinting (based on xprobe's techniques)
DNS fingerprinting
