The only error we can have apart from a getaddrinfo error is a list of
zero addresses; return EAI_NONAME in that case.
This unfortunately inverts the truth value of the return code of
resolve; 0 now means success.
--route-dst has been a useful debugging option, but it ran inline during
option processing and always used AF_UNSPEC to resolve names. Let it run
after options have been processed, so it can obey things like -6, -S,
and -e. Let it always resolve with o.af(), so you get different results:
nmap --route-dst scanme.nmap.org
nmap -6 --route-dst scanme.nmap.org
Scripts may now return a key–value table, or such a table in addition to
a string. The table will be automatically formatted for normal output
and will appear as a hierarchy of elements in XML output.

Up to data structure differences. I'm not sure why they differed to
begin with, though I remember writing the comment that explains that
they differed. This is related to a problem reported by Daniel Miller:

the name of a file containing all of your desired NSE script
arguments. The arguments may be separated with commas or newlines
and may be overridden by arguments specified on the command-line
with --script-args. [Daniel Miller]
jah noticed strange behavior that depends on the order of options; for
example the position of --unprivileged would make a difference. This was
because win_init makes decisions based on certain options and the
options had not been fully processed.
svn merge --ignore-ancestry svn://svn.insecure.org/nmap@26621 svn://svn.insecure.org/nmap-exp/luis/nmap-os6
This is the IPv6 OS detection branch. "nmap -6 -O" works now, though at
this point it only prints fingerprints and not OS guesses, because we
need to collect more submissions.
Nmap delays parsing for options that require knowledge of other options that
the user might have supplied in order to make informed decisions. This is
achieved by using a temporary storage place in which options that can't be
correctly parsed and interpreted without having full knowledge of all other
user supplied command line arguments like -S and -6.
This is for technical reasons; nmap-private-dev programs need to link
against objects files but they can't link against main.o because that
results in a duplicate definition of main.
