o Added the undocumented (except here) --nogcc option which disables
global/group congestion control algorithms and so each member of a
scan group of machines is treated separately. This is just an
experimental option for now. [Fyodor]
and closed ports. [Vladimir]
o Fixed the "resolution errors not showing up" bug. Actually, from now
on, all errors will be displayed properly in the Zenmap window, since
stderr is also redirected there (until now, only stdout was
displayed). [Vladimir]
Visual C++ 2008 runtime components if they aren't already installed
on a system. These are some reasonably small DLLs that are
generally necessary for applications compiled with Visual C++ (with
dynamic linking). Many or most systems already have these installed
from other software packages. The lack of these components led to
the error message "The Application failed to intialize properly
(0xc0150002)." with Nmap 4.65. A related change is that Nmap on
Windows is now compiled with /MD rather than /MT so that it
consistently uses these runtime libraries. The patch was created by
Rob Nicholls.
as banner-grabbing (get_banner()) and making a quick exchange of data
(exchange()). 16 scripts were updated to use this library. [Kris]
I have *not* been able to test all of these scripts; however, I have
reviewed them and they should all work properly. I would really like
some more testing, though :)
This commit includes scripting.xml documentation.
users. Thanks to Jabra (jabra(a)spl0it.org) for the report. [Kris]
This was introduced when the ping probes were reorganized and moved
out of NmapOps (the o.pingtype check wasn't copied over)
so they don't get mixed in with the files in /usr/share/{icons,pixmaps}.

o Modification to handle the problem where if a user modifies the
command entry field, Zenmap does not necessarily execute this command
and instead it will follow what the Target/Entry fields specify
instead. This avoids a bug where if you edited a command, then selected
a different target, the edited command line would be replaced with one
from the currently selected profile. [Jurand Nogiec]
to transfer. I've only been able to examine the behavior through Wireshark
since I don't have a nameserver that transfers other domains (I always get
"Not Authoritative"). It seems to work fine, though
of "*.*.*.*" from working. Support for the CIDR /0 is now also
available. [Kris]
A sendto() or connect() to IPv4 addresses with a first octet of 0
(excluding 0.0.0.0 on some OS's) returns EINVAL. These addresses
are reserved for "self-identification" and should never go over the
wire (and at least on Linux a connect() to 0.0.0.0 gets redirected
to 127.0.0.1). I'm talking with Fyodor on whether or not to skip
*all* of these addresses.
o Our WinPcap installer now starts the NPF driver running as a
service immediately upon installation and after restarts. You can
disable this with new checkboxes. This behavior is important for
Vista and Windows Server 2008 machines when User Account
Control (UAC) is enabled. [Rob Nicholls]
o Nmap and Nmap-Winpcap silent installation now works. Nmap can
be silently installed with the /S option to the installer.
If you install Nmap from the zip file, you can install just
Winpcap silently with the /S option to that
installer. [Rob Nicholls]
o Our WinPcap installer is now included with the Nmap Win32 zip
file. [Fyodor]
o Numerous miscellaneous improvements were made to our Win32
installer, such as using the "Modern" NSIS UI for WinPcap,
improving the option description labels, and showing a finish
page in all cases. [Rob Nicholls]
ports instead of just TCP ports. This made it very slow in the
common case where there are many UDP ports in the open|filtered
state. Thanks to Jason DePriest for reporting the problem and Jah
for tracking it down and fixing it.
o A bug was fixed that could cause Zenmap to crash when loading a
results file that had multibyte characters in it. The error looked
like
Gtk-ERROR **: file gtktextsegment.c: line 196 (_gtk_char_segment_new): assertion failed: (gtk_text_byte_begins_utf8_char (text))
