Dedicated my morning to testing HEAD, and I don't think we're close  
to a release yet. There are some regressions (ie: all the reports  
indexes are recomputed every time nessusclient is loaded, which is  
very slow if you use it to perform big scans), the GUI is very messy  
(a lot of items need to be resized -- the scan list hbox is way to  
wide compared to the scan configuration hbox which is 30 pixels wide  
here), and the memory usage is abnormally high (130M here).

More effort needs to be done to make the GUI useable and to reduce  
the memory usage, then we can do a beta.  At the moment, doing a beta  
would be a diservice to the users since there are known showstopper  
with this program.
