Hello everyone,

Hot on the heels of BETA21 is BETA22. This fixes a Solaris & HP
compilation problem which hit a lot of people. I also cleaned up the code
so that it doesn't make as many assumptions about integer bit-width (eg
that an unsigned int can hold an IP address or an unsigned short can hold
a port number).

If this turns out to be stable, I may release a non-beta version (eg 2.55
or 2.6) very soon. So your testing is appreciated. please let me know if
this version does not work for you or if you find bugs.

Here are the CHANGELOG entries:

-- Eliminated usage of u_int32_t (was causing compilation errors on
   some Sun and HP boxes). Problem first noted by Nick Munger
   (nmunger_at_Oswego.EDU) and Ralf Hildebrandt
   (Ralf.Hildebrandt_at_innominate.com) and Antonin Sprinzl
   (Antonin.Sprinzl_at_tuwien.ac.at)

-- Defined integer-width typedefs such as u32/s32/u16/etc. in Nbase.
Went through much of the Nmap code and substituted these in where
correct lengths are important (port numbers, IP addresses, etc).

For those of you running Linux/x86 w/a recent version of rpm
(www.rpm.org), you can install/upgrade to the newest version of
nmap/nmapfe with these commands:

rpm -vhU (nmap url)
where (nmap url) is one (or both) of these:

http://www.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-2.54BETA22-1.i386.rpm
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-0.2.54BETA22-1.i386.rpm

source tarballs and source RPMs are always available at:

[ Yes, I should really GPG sign this email too ]

Let me know if you find any problems.

Cheers,
