# Nmap Changelog ($Id$); -*-text-*-
4.51BETA
o Fixed Winpcap installer to install the right version of Packet.dll
on Windows Vista. [Fyodor]
o Fixed our Winpcap installer so that it waits for a Winpcap uninstall
(if needed) to complete before trying to install the new Winpcap.
Thanks to Jah for the patch.
o Fix a bunch of warning/error messages which contained an extra
newline. Thanks to Brandon Enright for the patch.
o We now have a detailed Zenmap Guide at
http://insecure.org/nmap/zenmapguide/ . Thanks to David for writing
it.
o Added rpcinfo.nse script, which contacts a listening RPC portmapper
and reports the listening services and port information (like

then enhanced the RPC number list with all of the entries from
nmap-rpc.
o Fixed an error that showed itself on Windows when attempting
to scan localhost as an unprivileged user (nmap --unprivileged
localhost). The error looked like
"Skipping SYN Stealth Scan against localhost (127.0.0.1) because
Windows does not support scanning your own machine (localhost) this
way."
Now connect scan is used instead of SYN scan.
o Fixed an output problem that showed itself on Windows when attempting
to scan localhost, which is skipped. The problem looked like
All 0 scanned ports on 127.0.0.1 are
("Are what?") Now it looks like
0 ports scanned on 127.0.0.1
Rob Nicholls reported the problem.
o Fixed a bug that prevented the --resume option from working on
Windows. A symptom of the bug was an error message that looks like
..\utils.cc(996): CreateFileMapping(), file 'testresume', length 103,
mflags 000
00006: The parameter is incorrect.
(87)
when running "nmap --resume testresume". Rob Nicholls submitted the
fix.
o Zenmap uses -PN now instead of -P0. -P0 is still supported but -PN is
recommended to avoid confusion with the -PO (protocol ping) option.
jah (jah(a)zadkiel.plus.com) noticed this.
o On Windows, paths beginning with \ are now considered absolute when
used with the --script option. jah (jah(a)zadkiel.plus.com) suggested
this.
o Zenmap no longer double-spaces its output (by inadvertently
duplicating newlines) when viewing scan results that were saved to a
file. Joao Medeiros submitted the patch.
o Added a new NSE script (MySQLinfo) which prints MySQL server information
such as the protocol and version numbers, status, thread id, capabilities,
and password salt. [Kris]
o Nmap's output options (-oA, -oX, etc.) now support strftime()-like
conversions in the filename. %H, %M, %S, %m, %d, %y, and %Y are

Results window. [Kris]
o Updated robots.nse to prevent printing robots.txt comments. [Kris]
o Many version detection match lines were improved to match even when
newlines appear in binary data returned by the service. [Fixed by
Doug, suggested by Lionel Cons]

o Bumped up the version number to the big 10th anniversary 4.50

.sp
Most changes only affect interactive output, and some also affect normal and script kiddie output\. The other output types are meant to be processed by machines, so Nmap can give substantial detail by default in those formats without fatiguing a human user\. However, there are a few changes in other modes where output size can be reduced substantially by omitting some detail\. For example, a comment line in the grepable output that provides a list of all ports scanned is only printed in verbose mode because it can be quite long\.
