 # Nmap Changelog ($Id$); -*-text-*-
 
+o Fixed a bug that prevented the --resume option from working on
+  Windows. A symptom of the bug was an error message that looks like
+  ..\utils.cc(996): CreateFileMapping(), file 'testresume', length 103,
+  mflags 000
+  00006: The parameter is incorrect.
+   (87)
+  when running "nmap --resume testresume". Rob Nicholls submitted the
+  fix.
+
 o Zenmap uses -PN now instead of -P0. -P0 is still supported but -PN is
   recommended to avoid confusion with the -PO (protocol ping) option.
   jah (jah(a)zadkiel.plus.com) noticed this.
