This release added a "-c" request count option, some screen display changes, support for decimal sleep times, some changes to support GCC 2.95, a customizable array for IPs scanned on fast mode, and changes to scanning loops and sleep time that make scans slower by default, but safer and less likely to experience packet loss. Usage parameters were simplified.
