o Removed --interactive mode, a miniature shell whose primary purpose
...
was to hide command line arguments from the process list. It had
been broken (would segfault during the second scan) since before May
2009 until February 2010 and was rarely used. The fact that it was
broken was reported by Juan Carlos Castro y Castro.
See http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q2/464 and
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q1/688 for report and discussion.

Switch to -sn and -Pn as the new preferred synonyms for -sP and -P0.
...
This establishes a more regular syntax for some options that disable
phases of a scan:
-n no reverse DNS
-Pn no host discovery
-sn no port scan
Also, the -sP was possibly misleading because the 'P' suggests "ping
scan," when you can now do more than just pinging when you disable port
scanning. For example, -sC -sn and -sn -Pn --traceroute make sense.

while still mentioning that "ping scan" is a common term. Mention the

o Added initial SCTP port scanning support to Nmap. SCTP is
...
a layer 4 protocol used mostly for telephony related applications.
This brings the following new features:
o SCTP INIT chunk port scan (-sY): open ports return an INIT-ACK
chunk, closed ones an ABORT chunk. This is the SCTP equivalent
of a TCP SYN stealth scan.
o SCTP COOKIE-ECHO chunk port scan (-sZ): open ports are silent,
closed ports return an ABORT chunk.
o SCTP INIT chunk ping probes (-PY): host discovery using SCTP
INIT chunk packets.
o SCTP-specific IP protocol scan (-sO -p sctp).
o SCTP-specific traceroute support (--traceroute).
o The ability to use the deprecated Adler32 algorithm as specified
in RFC 2960 instead of CRC32C from RFC 4960 (--adler32).
o 42 well-known SCTP ports were added to the nmap-services file.
Part of the work on SCTP support was kindly sponsored by
Compass Security AG, Switzerland. [Daniel Roethlisberger]
