For detailed Changes see http://nmap.org/changelog.html
(List is simply to long ...)
Some highlights
* [NSE] Added a new httpspider library which is used for recursively
crawling web sites for information. New scripts using this
functionality include http-backup-finder, http-email-harvest,
http-grep, http-open-redirect, and http-unsafe-output-escaping. See
http://nmap.org/nsedoc/ or the list later in this file for details
on these.
* [NSE] Added a vulnerability management library (vulns.lua) to store and to
report discovered vulnerabilities.
* [NSE] Added a new script force feature. You can force scripts to
run against target ports (even if the "wrong" service is detected)
by placing a plus in front of the script name passed to --script.
See http://nmap.org/book/nse-usage.html#nse-script-selection.
* [NSE] Added 51(!) NSE scripts, bringing the total up to 297.
