Hello everyone,
I am pleased to announce that Nmap 2.30BETA20 has been released. It
contains a few bugfixes and is a stable release candidate. I plan to
release the next stable version within a week. It may just be 2.30BETA20
with the version number changed. So try it out and let me know if you
find any problems.
Here is the list of changes from the last version:
-- Applied patch sent in by s.rapp_at_hrz.uni-dortmund.de which fixes a
memory alignment bug in osscan.c which could cause core dumps on
machines which require aligned access (like SPARC).
-- Fixed a compilation problem on machines that do not have MAP_FAILED
defined (as a return value to mmap). Problem noted by Phil
Stracchino <alaric_at_babcom.com>.
For those of you running Linux/x86 w/rpm (www.rpm.org), you can
install/upgrade to the newest version of nmap/nmapfe with these
commands:
rpm -vhU (nmap url)
where (nmap url) is one (or both) of these:
ftp://ftp.server51.freshmeat.net/pub/nmap/nmap-2.30BETA20-1.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.server51.freshmeat.net/pub/nmap/nmap-frontend-0.2.30BETA20-1.i386.rpm
source tarballs and source RPMs are available at:
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ or ftp://ftp.server51.freshmeat.net/pub/nmap
Sometimes the www.insecure.org cache network is
slow. If you don't see BETA20, try
reloading the page or go to http://area.insecure.org/nmap/
Cheers,
Fyodor
