"Changes include:

o 14 new NSE scripts, bringing the total to 72!

o A brand new (much faster and more efficient) --traceroute system

o The Zenmap host filter (Ctrl-L) for drilling down to the exact systems you want to see in a big scan based on the criteria you specify. For example, type "apache" to see all the hosts running a version of the Apache web server.

o UDP protocol-specific payloads make UDP scanning and host discovery much more effective.

o And more than 100 other significant changes!"
