Fyodor has announced a new major release of Nmap, what might just be the most popular security tool around.  There is also a good interview with Fyodor at SecurityFocus which details many of the changes.

From Insecure.Org: 

"Changes since version 3.50 include a rewritten (for speed and memory efficiency) port scanning engine, ARP scanning, a brand new man page and install guide, 'l33t ASCII art, runtime interaction, massive version detection improvements, MAC address spoofing, increased Windows performance, 500 new OS detection fingerprints, and completion time estimates."
