 # Nmap Changelog ($Id$); -*-text-*-
 
+o Reduced the size of Port structures by about a third (from 176 to 64
+  bytes on x86_64). They had accidentally been made bigger than they
+  should during the IPv6 code merge. [David Fifield]
+
 o [NSE] Added default values for Expires, Call-ID, Allow and Content-Length
   headers in SIP requests and removed redundant code sip library.
   [Hani Benhabiles]
