Being in a similar situation, I had the same questions.  No changes were 
required to my parsing scripts.  The *nix scanners output the results in 
the new .nessus format (b/c of my application design) and then running a 
conversion to .nbe for input into a database.

QUICK NESSUS 3.2 QUESTION






Background: We're finally getting around to migrating from 3.06 to 3.2x. 
Our scanning system is a fairly complex setup comprised of several perl 
scripts that parse the .nbe output files and load the results into an 
Oracle database used by a separate, PHP-based web reporting system.
 
Question: will the new nessus client work with the same command-line 
switches and will it still produce legacy .nbe output, or must we also 
migrate to the new .nessus report format?  We will eventually re-write our 
code to use the new format, but prefer to upgrade first and do the 
re-write later.
