Reading highlights from
http://insecure.org/stf/Nmap-4.50-Release.html
before final decision might be a good idea.

I think the most important reasons for upgrade are
that the version currently in Ubuntu has an obsolete
GUI and an obsolete OS detection subsystem. Spending
one LTS support period for learning a GUI that will go
away and submitting OS finger prints to /dev/null
doesn't make lots of sense.

Also, as a rather interesting detail, 4.5 has been made
more friendly towards female users.
