information is displayed. This can be used for including PDF file icons or
providing more descriptive names. In addition, it provides support for
counting and listing the number of pages in PDF documents, and documents a
previously undocumented option for specifying the file path to URL
mappings.

worked around). If an executable packed with ermine was stripped, then
it'll display clear error messages. Before this fix, such an executable
crashed or printed something cryptic.

output automagically using parsescan(). It can parse an nmap XML file.
This module was developed to speed up network security tool development
when using nmap.

Changes: Parsing of distance information was added. Ignoring of taskend,
taskbegin, and taskprogress information was added. Tests for nmap 4.20
were added. The license was changed to the MIT-style. The "always null"
bug for the service->protocol call was fixed.

star, subtraction, intersection, epsilon transitions, and various other
common operators. It also supports the construction of scanners and the
building of state machines using state charts. It can be used to create
very fast recognizers and parsers that are also robust.

code generation were made. An obscure bug in scanner code generation was
fixed.
