The changelog is sparse, but Igor has some comments on the release on Sourceforge.

Why are they still using sourceforge?

There's a bunch of stuff still on SF.

It's an un-met need for file hosting, support forums, and dev forums.

Probably because it works, they have been using it in the past, and there is no reason to move off of it.

Until "sf-editor" comes around and hijacks their project... http://www.itworld.com/article/2927973/linux/is-sourceforge-...

SF is on life-support, it survives only thanks to shady tactics like this and "repackaging" popular installers with adware. If you have a project on SF and don't like github, move to Bitbucket or some other provider but please please move off SF for good.

Tell the author of nmap that! And all the people who've left for github.
