Yeah, I changed the version in SVN but wanted to do some more testing
before actually making the first stable release in 6 months.  It's
kind of embarrassing when you do a big announcement to the 74,331
people on nmap-hackers and then realize there is a major bug and you
have to do a new release and mail them all again.  Trust me, I've been
there :).

You can now find it at all those places!

If anyone here missed the announcement, be sure to join the
nmap-hackers list
(http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-hackers), as I don't CC
nmap-dev on those announcements.

No need to spider.  We have instructions for checking out the latest
code in SVN:
