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.

that it is set properly for ping scan. Previously status reports during
ping scan always looked like
Stats: 25:34:33 elapsed; 991232 hosts completed (72530 up), 0 undergoing Ping Scan
Note the "0 undergoing". Now that number will be set to 4096 or whatever
the current ping scan group size happens to be.

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.
nmap-service-probes. This replaces an incomplete set of specific match
lines, though a few of those have been retained where they might give
information on the OS or SSL implementation. There is also a new probe
that works against SSLv2-only servers. The patch is from Kristof
Boeynaems.

argument value after it was done with it. So --script=a,b,c would become

sockets are finally collected so other threads may finish making a connection.

The message "wait_for_events" isn't printed until level 4. Getting rid
of that is the main reason for this change.

they do in TCP mode: the server handles multiple concurrent clients

provided the patch.
estimating the worst-possible-case memory usage (the longest row
length times the number of rows) to a more reasonable dynamic
allocation of memory. Now the buffer is started at 512 bytes and
approximately doubled each time it fills. 512 bytes is a compromise
that was determined empirically. Most regular scans use less than 512
bytes. Scans with -sV and especially -sC tend to use a few k of
memory.

response was received, not zero. Because four responses are sufficient, the
message will be printed if one, two, or three reponses were received. The
message started being printed with zero responses in r12285, with an unrelated
change.
The message also now includes the IP address of the relevant host and requires
debugging to be enabled.
