Re: zenmap issue persists

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Peter,

We just released Nmap 7.01 with a different bundler for OS X and a
different app layout. I am sincerely hoping this solves the "FairPlay
decryption" issue, but since I was never able to reproduce it, I don't
know. Please try the new .dmg installer at
https://nmap.org/download.html#macosx and let us know if it solves this
issue for you.
