Nmap 2.54BETA31 released!

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" <mvorin () hotmail com>

o Applied patch from Andy Lutomirski (Luto () myrealbox 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.fulton () auckland ac nz)

o Added mysterious, undocumented --scanflags option.

o Applied patch from Andy Lutomirski (Luto () myrealbox 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 (iselldrugstokidsonline () yahoo 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 (emax25 () arnet 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 (wam () cisco com)
