Hello everyone,

I am happy to announce that Nmap 2.54BETA31 is now available. It
contains a number of important fixes and updates which I have been
sitting on for far too long :). I also snuck in some new features.
Here are the CHANGELOG entries

o Added ICMP Timestamp and Netmask ping types (-PP and -PM). These
  (especially timestamp) can be useful against some hosts that do not
  respond to normal ping (-PI) packets.

o Documented the --data_length option and made it work with all the
  ICMP ping types (echo request, netmask, and timestamp).

o Added check for strings.h before including it in portlist.c . This
  fixes a compilation problem on some versions of Windows. Problem
  first noted by "Michael Vorin" <mvorinhotmail.com>

o Applied patch from Andy Lutomirski (Lutomyrealbox.com) which fixes
  a crash on some Windows platforms when timeouts occur.

o Fixed "grepable output" (-oG) so that it prints IPID sequence class
  rather than printing the TCP ISN sequence index twice. Problem
  noted by Russell Fulton (r.fultonauckland.ac.nz)

o Added mysterious, undocumented --scanflags option.

o Applied patch from Andy Lutomirski (Lutomyrealbox.com) which fixes
  some important Windows bugs. Apparently this can cause a dramatic
  speedup in some circumstances. The patch had other misc. changes
  too.

o Fix bug noted by Chris V (iselldrugstokidsonlineyahoo.com) in which
  Nmap could segmentation fault with the (bogus) command: './nmap -sO
  -p 1-65535 hostname' (protocol only can go up to 255). That being
  said, Nmap should never segfault just because of bogus options.

o Fixed problem noted by Maximiliano (emax25arnet.com.ar) where Nmap
  would get stuck in a (nearly) infinite loop when you try to "resume"
  a random host (-iR) scan.

o Included a number of fingerprint updates, but I still have many more
  web submissions to go through. Also made some nmap-services
  portlist updates.

o Included a bunch of fixes (mostly to prevent compiler warnings) from
  William McVey (wamcisco.com)
