better interface with tabs instead of a linear sequence of pages. The
ability to run a scan from the editor was the one thing the command
wizard could do that the profile editor couldn't, but now it can do that
too.

FreeBSD. [Daniel Roethlisberger]

in shared libraries Nmap links against (e.g. adler32() in zlib).
Such collisions seem to confuse the runtime linker on some platforms.

failed to fill info_template...". Parts of this change include:
o Improved the text of the warning to be less confusing
o Increased the internal version info buffer to 256 chars from 128
o Increased the final version string length to 160 from 128 chars
o Changed the behavior when constructing the final version string so
that if it runs out of space, rather than dropping the output of that
template it truncates the template with ...
o Fixed the printing of unneeded spaces between templates when one of the
templates isn't going to be printed at all.

Except that now these messages are uniform and are

In addition, the host state --reason information is printed for port
scans just as for ping scans, which appears to have been an oversight
before.

The text could be different, because the error was caused by
translating a string that was also being used as an index into an
internal data structure. The string will be untranslated until that
part of the code can be rewritten.

information on the OS or SSL implementation. There is also a new probe
that works against SSLv2-only servers. The patch is from Kristof
