Hello everyone. I'm glad Nmap 7.90 was so well received! There were so many improvements that the official announcement ( https://seclists.org/nmap-announce/2020/1) was a bit unwieldy. So Daniel Miller (who made most of those changes) Tweeted his top highlights at https://twitter.com/bonsaiviking/status/1313247253197393920 While we do work hard to avoid bugs during development and to catch them pre-release through continuous integration (CI) testing and QA, some inevitably slip through the cracks. Especially with a release as big as 7.90. So we have released Nmap version 7.91 which resolves all of the significant issues we've seen reported for 7.90: - Fixed the "time result cannot be represented in this installation" crash, which occurred during many script scans (including -A) on Windows if the user was in a time zone after Coordinated Universal Time (e.g. UTC+X timezones). See https://issues.nmap.org/2136 [Clément Notin, nnposter, and Daniel Miller] - Fixed a crash in the Zenmap GUI when using the profile editor. See https://issues.nmap.org/2148 [Dan Miller] - Switched the default Windows I/O engine back to poll due to some problems with our IOCP engine that we need to work out. See https://issues.nmap.org/2139 [Dan Miller] - Fix server response parsing in MySQL library to prevent certain script crashes. See https://issues.nmap.org/2128 [nnposter] Dan also made some fixes to the (now non-default) Windows IOCP engine and silenced an irrelevant warning that "you haven't specified any TCP scan type". Nmap 7.91 source code and binary packages for Linux, Windows, and Mac are available for free download from the usual spot: https://nmap.org/download.html We've also made Windows OEM builds for companies that include Nmap in their products: https://nmap.org/oem/ Enjoy the new release! And don't forget to report any problems to the bug tracker or dev list as described at https://nmap.org/book/man-bugs.html. Cheers, Gordon "Fyodor" Lyon _______________________________________________ Sent through the announce mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/announce Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-hackers/
