Fyodor just announced the availability of a new Release Candidate version of the extremely popular network scanning too Nmap. Check it out!
It has been nearly 10 months (and 11 dev releases) since 4.76, the last stable Nmap release. And we’ve made many dramatic changes, so it is time for a new stable version! I’ve posted a release candidate –4.90RC1– on the Nmap download page
http://nmap.org/download.html
Changes:
Nmap 4.90RC1 [2009-06-25]
- [Zenmap] Fixed a display hanging problem on Mac OS X reported by
Christopher Caldwell at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q2/0721.html. This was done by adding gtk2 back to macports-1.8.0-universal.diff and removing the dependency on shared-mime-info so it doesn’t expect /usr/share/mime files at runtime. Also included GDK pixbuf loaders statically rather than as external loadable modules. [David] - Fixed a memory bug (access of freed memory) when loading exclude targets with –exclude. This was reported to occasionally cause a crash. Will Cladek reported the bug and contributed an initial patch. [David]
- Zenmap application icons were regenerated using the newer SVG representation of the Nmap eye. [David]
