+
+o Fixed some bugs with the Conficker detection script
+ (smb-check-vulns) [Ron]:
+ o SMB response timeout raised to 20s from 5s to compensate for
+   slow/overloaded systems and networks.
+ o MSRPC now only signs messages if OpenSSL is available (avoids an
+   error).
+ o Better error checking for MS08-067 patch
+ o Fixed forgotten endian-modifier (caused problems on big-endian
+   systems such as Solaris on SPARC).
+
 o Host status messages (up/down) are now uniform between ping scanning
-  and port scanning. They used to vary slighly, but now they all look
-  like
+  and port scanning and include more information. They used to vary
+  slightly, but now all look like
     Host <host> is up (Xs latency).
     Host <host> is down.
-  The latency is Nmap's estimate of the round trip time. In addition, the
-  reason for a host being up is now printed for port scans just as for
-  ping scans, with the --reason option. [David]

+
+o Version detection now has a generic match line for SSLv3 servers,
+  which matches more servers than the already-existing set of specific
+  match lines. The match line found 13% more SSL servers in a test.
+  Note that Nmap will not be able to do SSL scan-through against a
+  small fraction of these servers, those that are SSLv3-only or
+  TLSv1-only, because that ability is not yet built into Nsock. There
+  is also a new version detection probe that works against SSLv2-only
+  servers. These have shown themselves to be very rare, so that probe
+  is not sent by default. Kristof Boeynaems provided the patch and did
+  the testing.

+o Fixed a bug which prevented all comma-separated --script arguments
+  from being shown in Nmap normal and XML output files where they show

+  the group (e.g. 4096). [David]

+o [Zenmap] A crash was fixed in displaying the "Error creating the
