This is the first release of the gsa module 8.0 for the Greenbone
Vulnerability Management (GVM) framework.

This release introduces an entirely re-written version of GSA with an overhauled
new user interface technology, switching from XSLT-generated web pages per
request to a single page JavaScript application. The XSLT got removed
completely and was replaced by a modern JS application allowing to add features
and usability improvements faster and easier in future.

The web server daemon (gsad) got a big code cleanup and improvements. Due to
changing to a JS application it doesn't generate any HTML code anymore. Now gsad
only ships static files and acts as some kind of http proxy between the JS
based GSA and gvmd.

Apart from this, the module covers a number of significant advances
and clean-ups compared to the previous gsa module.
