BTW, changes include:

One is interactive mode, which gives you an interactive Nmap prompt and
allows you easily launch multiple scans (either synchronously or in the
background).  This is useful for people who scan from multi-user systems
-- they often want to test their security without letting everyone else
on the system knowing exactly what systems they are scanning.  Use
--interactive to activate this mode and then type 'h' for help.

This version also allows hosts to be scanned in random order rather than
sequentially.  This can make the scans harder to detect and less likely
to trigger IDS signatures (especially when combined with the timing
mechanisms to do a very slow scan).
