RE: NMAP

It was v 6.01 that was just released:

Hi folks!  I'm happy to report that the Nmap 6.00 release
(http://nmap.org/6 ) last month was a huge success, with hundreds of
thousands of downloads and a bunch of positive articles and reviews.
But any release this big is going to uncover a few issues, so we've
released Nmap 6.01 to address them.  This should also appease the more
conservative users who always wait for the first patch update before
installing a major software release.  Meanwhile, the more adventurous
users should skip 6.01 entirely and compile straight from our SVN
repository (http://nmap.org/book/install.html#inst-svn)!

Nmap 6.01 source code and binary packages for Linux, Windows, and Mac
are available at:
