Hello everyone,

I am happy to announce that Nmap 2.54BETA30 is now available.  It
contains a number of important fixes and updates.  Here is the
CHANGELOG entry:

o Added a Document Type Definition (DTD) for the Nmap XML output
   format (-oX) to the docs directory.  This allows validating parsers
   to check nmap XML output files for correctness.  It is also useful
   for application programmers to understand the XML output structure.
   The DTD was written by William McVey (wam () cisco com) of Cisco Secure 
   Consulting Services ( http://www.cisco.com/go/securityconsulting ).

o Merged in a number of Windows fixes/updates from Andy Lutomirski
  (Luto () myrealbox com)

o Merged in fixes/updates (mostly to the Windows functionality) from
  Matt Hargett (matt () use net)

o Applied patch by Colin Phipps (cph () netcraft com) which correctly
  encodes special characters in the XML output.

o Applied patch by William McVey (wam () cisco com) which adds the uptime
  information printed with -O to the XML output format.

o Fixed byte-order bug in Windows packet matching code which caused
  -PS and -PT to fail.  Bug found and patch sent by Tim Adam
  (tma () osa com au)

o Fixed segfault problem with "-sU -F".  Nobody reported this until I
  noticed it :(.  Anytime you see "Segmentation Fault" in the latest
  version of Nmap, it is probably a bug -- please mail me the command
  you used, the OS/platform you are running on, and whether it is
  reproducable.

o Added a convenience option "-oA (basefilename)".  This tells Nmap to
  log in ALL the major formats (normal, grepable, and XML).  You give
  a base for the filename, and the output files will be base.nmap,
  base.gnmap, and base.xml.

o Documented the --append_output option which tells Nmap to append
  scan results to any output files you have specified rather than
  overwriting the files.

o Integrate TIMEVAL_SEC_SUBTRACT() fix by Scott Renfro (scott () renfro org)
  which improves timing accuracy.

For those of you running Linux/x86 w/a recent version of 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:

http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-2.54BETA30-1.i386.rpm
http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-0.2.54BETA30-1.i386.rpm

source tarballs and source RPMs are always available at:
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_download.html

For the more paranoid (smart) members of the list, here are the md5
hashes:
