Hi nmap-dev,

Recently checked in to /nmap is the result of almost two months of work
known as the "massping migration". These changes make Nmap use its
port-scanning function ultra_scan for discovering which hosts are up
instead of an old special-purpose function called massping.


Hey David, I've been testing it out and it seems to work great!

My only issue is that I virtually always run Nmap with debugging (just 
one -d), because I like to see what's happening.  However, your massping 
stuff spews TONS of stuff onto the screen about moving hosts to 
completed list with however many outstanding probes, and 
ultrascan_host_probe_update listing the machine and state.

Is there any way you can make these come up only with higher debugging 
levels like -d2 or -d3?  This isn't just because "I like it", but 
because it really is a lot of lines being printed and usually that kind 
of stuff is printed only with higher debug levels.

Thanks,
Kris Katterjohn
