   wget -O- http://nmap.org/svn/CHANGELOG | perl -ne 'BEGIN{$/="\n\n"}print if /Jay?\s*Bosamiya/s'

o [NSE] Add port.reason_ttl, host.reason, host.reason_ttl for use in scripts
  [Jay Bosamiya]

o [NSE] If a version script is run by name, nmap.version_intensity() returns
  the maximum value (9) for it [Jay Bosamiya]

o [NSE] shortport.version_port_or_service() takes an optional rarity parameter
  now to run only when version intensity > rarity [Jay Bosamiya]

o [NSE] Added nmap.version_intensity() function so that NSE version scripts
  can use the argument to --version-intensity (which can be overridden by the
  script arg 'script-intensity') in order to decide whether to run or not
  [Jay Bosamiya]

o Improve OS detection; If a port is detected to be 'tcpwrapped', then it will
  not be used for OS detection. This helps in cases where a firewall might be
  the port to be 'tcpwrapped' [Jay Bosamiya]

o [Zenmap] Reduce noise generated in Topology View due to anonymous 
  hops [Jay Bosamiya]

o When --reason is asked for, show TTL information too in default output
  mode [Jay Bosamiya]

o Added option --exclude-ports to Nmap so that some ports can be excluded from
  scanning (for example, due to policy) [Jay Bosamiya]

o [Zenmap] Catch the MemoryError caused in Zenmap due to large Nmap Output,
  and display a more helpful error message [Jay Bosamiya]

o Catch badly named output files (such as those unintentionally caused by
  "-oX -sV logfile.xml") [Jay Bosamiya]

o Added options --data <hex string> and --data-string <string> to send custom
  payloads in scan packet data. [Jay Bosamiya]

o [Zenmap] Improved NmapParser to increase speed in opening scans. Large scans
  now open in seconds instead of hours. [Jay Bosamiya]

o Updated the bundled libpcap from 1.2.1 to 1.5.3 [Jay Bosamiya]

o Correct the Target MAC Address in Nmap's ARP discovery to conform to what IP
  stacks in currently popular operating systems use. [Jay Bosamiya]

o Fixed a bug which caused Nmap to be unable to have any runtime interaction
  when called from sudo or from a shell script. [Jay Bosamiya]
