| listing of all changes made to the code. |
| |
| *5.6.2* |
| |
| snmpd: |
| - [PATCH 3198781]: Fix compilation of disman/{ping,traceroute} modules |
| - [BUG 3166568]: Fix missing hrSystemProcesses values |
| - [BUG 3526549]: CVE-2012-2141 Array index error leading to crash |
| - [BUG 3532090]: Fix high ifIndex values crashing hrDeviceDescr |
| Note that this will affect the indexing of *all* entries in |
| the hrDeviceTable. Assumptions as to what index a given device |
| will use, are no longer valid. |
| |
| building: |
| - [PATCH 2091156]: Fix parallel builds (using 'make -j <N>') |
| |
| *5.6.1* |
| |
| General: |
| - The DTLS and TLS transports and the TSM security model are no |
| longer "beta" (they've undergone rigorous interoperability testing). |
| - Many Bug Fixes (see the CHANGES and ChangeLog files for full details) |
| |
| snmpd: |
| - [PATCH 3141462]: Fix multi-opbject AgentX subagent requests |
| - Fix VACM persistant storage. |
| |
| *5.6* |
| |
| all: |
| - Implemented the SNMP over TLS and SNMP over DTLS protocols [RFC-to-be] |
| See http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:Using_TLS |
| - Implemented the "Transport Security Model" [RFC5591] |
| - Generic host-specific configuration .conf files are now read. |
| See the HOST-SPECIFIC FILES section of the snmp.conf manual page |
| and http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Configuration |
| - Include statements can now be used in .conf files. |
| See http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Configuration |
| |
| snmpd: |
| - Fix handling of multiple matching VACM entries. (Use the "best" |
| match, rather than the first one). Reported by Adam Lewis. Note |
| that this could potentially affect the behaviour of existing access |
| control configurations. |
| - Agent will no longer call table handlers if a set request for the |
| handler has invalid indexes |
| - table_data/tdata next handler will not be called during get |
| processing if no valid rows are found for the handler |
| - [PATCH 2952708]: Added Perl implementation of BRIDGE-MIB |
| - moved all functions defined in libnetsnmphelpers to |
| libnetsnmpagent. libnetsnmphelpers is now an empty library. |
| - Implemented the TSM-MIB and the TLSTM-MIB |
| - new API for indicating that persistent store needs to be saved |
| after the current request finishes processing |
| - [PATCH 2931446]: make the load averages writable. |
| |
| apps: |
| - A new tool 'net-snmp-cert' that easily creates and manages |
| X.509 certificates for use with the SNMP over (D)TLS protocols. |
| - Added an 'agentxtrap' command to send notifications via AgentX |
| (See http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:agentxtrap for details) |
| - -T command line flag can be used to pass configuration |
| directly to transports that can accept configuration tokens |
| - A new 'snmptls' command for manipulating the agent's TLS configuration |
| |
| snmplib: |
| - A more modular transport subsystem that allows third party |
| extensions and dependencies for code reuse. |
| - New transport functions: f_config, f_open, f_copy and f_setup_session |
| - Transports can now specify session defaults |
| - E.G. dtlsudp: auto-sets the SNMP version and the security model. |
| - [PATCH 2942940]: Add a new function, netsnmp_parse_args, that is |
| like snmp_parse_args but takes an additional bitmask, flags, to |
| affect the behaviour. Also remove the magic handling of some |
| application names. |
| - A new X.509 certificate API for indexing and reading certificates |
| - new experimental row creation API which uses a state machine |
| to try really hard to create a row from a given varbind list |
| - netsnmp_container enhancements: |
| - added a free_item function |
| - added a CONTAINER_FREE_ALL macro/function |
| - added an interface for duplicating a container (CONTAINER_DUP) |
| - added a remove function to container_iterators |
| - added an ability to set options on binary_array containers |
| - new snmp token logOption allows specifying log destinations |
| via configuration conf files |

| - [BUG 2939168]: byte order of udpLocalPort is now correct. |
| - [BUG 2939168]: fixed test infrastructure ("make test"). This has |
| been fixed by using the proper environment separator character and |
| by adding the path of the netstat executable for Cygwin in |
| testing/TESTCONF.sh. |
| - building with another OpenSSL package than the Cygwin-provided |
| packages openssl and openssl-devel is again possible. |
| - running the regression test suite is again possible ('make test'). |

| *5.4* |
| |
| Important Changes: |
| - The default configuration now enables embedded Perl and the Perl |
| modules by default when possible unless explicitly disabled. You |
| may use the --disable-embedded-perl and --without-perl-modules |
| configure options, respectively, to revert to the former default |
| configuration. |
| |
| New: |
| python: |
| - Python bindings to the Net-SNMP project are now available in |
| the python sub-directory. See the README file there for details. |
| |
| build: |
| - Some preliminary support for automatic building of dynamically |
| loadable mib module code. |
| - Most net-snmp specific defines are now (also) available under |
| a proper NETSNMP_ prefix. The older, potentially conflicting |
| names as well as the autoconf variables can now be turned off |
| easily within 3rd party code. |
| - libtool update to 1.5.22 |
| - enable-as-needed will try to link built libraries against needed |
| libraries at library link time, rather than application link time. |
| This is preliminary support for what will likely be better in 5.5. |
| |
| snmplib: |
| - [PATCH 1282566]: to rework transport creation to allow for |
| alternative interpretations of the address and a more flexible |
| transport registration system |
| - [PATCH 1509943]: responses will get sent from the original dest IP |
| address when possible. |
| |
| snmpd: |
| - new MIB table for managing Net-SNMP access control extensions |
| (see NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB). These extensions to the VACM MIB are |
| Net-SNMP specific and are used primarily by snmptrapd at this point. |
| - [PATCH 1550725]: A new uint instance helper to match the existing |
| int, long and ulong helpers |
| - [PATCH 1534877]: to add support for skipping NFS entries in the |
| host resources hrStorageTable. See the skipNFSInHostResources |
| token in the snmpd.conf file for details. |
| - A "hardware abstraction layer", to localise the O/S-specific |
| aspects of retrieving system data. This first appeared in the |
| 5.3.x line, but this release now starts to actively use it for |
| implementing particular MIB modules. |
| This has resulted in some minor changes in behaviour - some index |
| values in the hrStorageTable have changed from earlier releases, |
| and the (non-raw) memory statistics are now consistent, reporting |
| percentage usage calculated over the last minute on _all_ systems. |
| - Agent builds default module list from a default_mibs.h rather than |
| a hard coded configure list |
| - [PATCH 1568150]: Extend pass_persist error messages that can be |
| passed back from the script |
| - [PATCH 1570982]: Solaris IF-MIB: Support for IPv6-only interfaces |
| |
| snmptrapd: |
| - the traphandle directive now supports a -t switch to indicate |
| matching any OID in the tree below the specified OID |
| |
| mib2c: |
| - New mib2c.emulation.conf provides a quick way to do simplistic |
| emulation of an entire MIB or MIB branch. |
| - A new perl module NetSNMP::agent::Support provides easier embedded |
| perl support. (patch 1369996 from Peter Martin) |
| Run "mib2c -c mib2c.perl.conf OID" to help you start using it. |
| |
| perl: |
| - gettable() now supports asynchronous callback functions |
| - update default_store module to latest default_store c-binding |
| tokens |
| |
| snmpusm: |
| - performance improvement when changing localized keys |
| - new option -Cp to set usmUserPublic value |
| |
| snmpvacm: |
| - new commands to manipulate Net-SNMP access control extensions |
| |
| Ports: |
| Linux: |
| - add IPv6 aware UDP and TCP mibs to default module list |
| |
| Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD: |
| - Experimental support for 64bit interface counters (ifXTable). Enable |
| via '--with-mib-modules=if-mib --enable-mfd-rewrites'. |
| - [PATCH 1569537,1569539]: new UDP-MIB and TCP-MIB implementation |
| (enable through --with-mib-modules=udp-mib,tcp-mib) |
| |
| Win32: |
| - new winExtDLL extension module to allow snmpd to load Windows SNMP |
| Service extension DLLs to provide support for HOST-RESOURCES-MIB |
| and other MIBs provided with Windows. |
| |
| AIX: |
| - HOST-RESOURCES-MIB implementation added to default module list |
| |
| uCLinux |
| - [PATCH 1551948]: Make pass_persist usable on uClinux |
| |
| Fixes: |
| snmplib: |

| - fix 8 byte IpAddress in at, ip and route MIBs. |
| - [PATCH 1562688]: fix ping/reattach agentx code |
| |
| snmptrapd: |
| - fix bug 1420758/1458815: snmptrapd aborts/loops in select() |
| (official patch 1420758) |
| - fix re-init of daemons after SIGHUP (official patch 1473289) |

| - fixes for 64-bit platforms |
| |
| misc: |
| - Many misc fixes |
| |
| *5.3.0.1* |
| |
| *** Security Fix *** |
| |
| - In version 5.3 much of the authorization control was rewritten. |
| There was a bug in the new code that resulted in granting write |
| access to read-only users or communities which were configured |
| using the "rocommunity" or "rouser" snmpd.conf tokens. 5.3.0.1 |
| fixes this problem. Users are encouraged to immediately update |
| their installations if they use either of these tokens. |
| |
| |
| *5.3* |
| |
| *** Important Notes *** |
| |
| Several very significant changes have been made in Net-SNMP for this |
| release that warrant special attention. |
| |
| - shared library version number no longer matches the release number. We |
| now follow the versioning scheme recommended by libtool. For the 5.3 |
| release this means that the libraries now have a SONAME ending with |
| ".so.10", e.g. libnetsnmp.so.10. |
| |
| - snmpd has not been truncating log files at startup, as documented in |
| the man pages, for a while now. This default behaviour has been restored. |
| Please use the '-A' flag if you want to continue appending to your log |
| files at startup. |
| |
| - snmptrapd will no longer accept all traps by default. It must be |
| configured with authorized SNMPv1/v2c community strings and/or SNMPv3 |
| users. Non-authorized traps/informs will be dropped. |
| |
| - Due to a copyright statement that didn't allow modifications, |
| snmpnetstat has been completely rewritten. The new version now |
| accepts the same command-line options as the other tools, which |
| has introduced a number of incompatible changes. However, it |
| does now finally support SNMPv3. |
| |
| New: |
| Building: |
| - new option to disable set support in the agent (--disable-set-support) |
| |
| snmpd: |
| - implement notification logging |
| - implement notification filtering |
| - AgentX, host resources and disman/event mibs added to default module list |
| - updated and new disman mib implementations |
| |
| snmptrapd: |
| - allow a non-default AgentX socket |
| - a brand new authorization scheme that is based on the VACM |
| authorization scheme from snmpd. |
| - Note: now drops unauthenticated notifications by default |
| - registers the snmpEngine MIB group under the "snmptrapd" context |
| |
| snmplib: |
| - new helper for ascii file based scalar integers (think Linux /proc/) |
| - new utilities for dealing with files |
| - new utilities for parsing text files |
| - granular config/persistent file disablement (noPersistentLoad and |
| noPersistentSave snmp.conf tokens) |
| |
| mib2c: |
| - mib2c.mfd.conf now generates code for persistence row storage |
| - many enhancements and bug fixes |
| |
| snmpusm: |
| - allows to use old and/or new localized key instead of passphrase with |
| option -Ck |
| - new option -CE to specify usmUserEngineID (necessary to manage |
| snmptrapd's usmUserTable) |
| |
| Ports: |
| Linux: |
| - new experimental tables |
| - tcpConnectionTable, tcpListenerTable |
| - ipAddressPrefixTable |
| - udpEndpointTable |
| - ipv4InterfaceTable, ipv6InterfaceTable |
| - inetCidrRouteTable supports dynamic ipv4 route creation/deletion |
| - added ipv6IpForwarding.0 and ipv6IpDefaultHopLimit.0 (read-write) |
| |
| Win32: |
| - Cygwin compiler fixes |
| - MSVC: agent (snmpd) support for pass and pass_persist |
| - MinGW: agent (snmpd) support for pass |
| - Fix for 'select: No such file or directory' in snmpdelta |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - Persistent files in directory defined by snmp.conf persistentDir were |
| not being loaded at startup |
| - Perl getnext didn't honor explicit reference to MIB file |
| - AgentX sub-agent connection delayed til after config files read |
| - Build fixes for --disable-agent, --disable-snmpv1 and --disable-snmpv2c |
| - Lots of bug fixes |
| |
| |
| *5.2* |
| New: |
| For the security paranoid (like Wes): |
| - Insecure versions of SNMP may be completely disabled at compile time. |
| (configure using one or both of --disable-snmpv1 --disable-snmpv2c) |
| - Less secure versions of SNMPv3 authentication and encryption |
| algorithms may be completely disabled at compile time. |
| (configure using one or both of --disable-des --disable-md5) |
| (This requires you have OpenSSL to support SHA1 and AES instead) |
| - Diffie-Helman key negotiation (perfect-forward-secrecy - RFC2786) |
| has been implemented in both the agent and "snmpusm". |
| - Better support for direct use of localized and master keys |
| (randomly generated keys have more entropy than passwords). See |
| the -3m -3M -3k and -3K options, and the defAuthLocalizedKey, |
| defPrivLocalizedKey, defAuthMasterKey, defPrivMasterKey |
| snmp.conf tokens) |
| |
| library: |
| - send and receive buffer sizes for UDP/TCP are configurable |
| - .conf file token registration can now search multiple files |
| (separate file names to search by a :. IE, "snmpd:agentx") |
| |
| snmptrapd: |
| - Embedded perl support for trap handlers (much faster than traphandles). |
| (configure --with-embedded-perl ; see 'perldoc NetSNMP::TrapReceiver') |
| - the snmptrapd usmUser table can be controlled through SNMP & AgentX |
| (the snmptrapd registers MIBs under the "snmptrapd" SNMPv3 context) |
| |
| agent: |
| - community strings can be mapped to individual SNMPv3 contexts |
| (see the snmpd.conf manual on "com2sec"). |
| - AgentX should work properly with SNMPv3 contexts now. |
| - improved version of "exec" extension directive - "extend": |
| supports multi-line output, configurable command input, SET |
| handling, a valid relocatable MIB output structure, etc |
| - more flexibility added to netsnmp_cache helper, including periodic |
| refreshing of caches and cache pre-loading. |
| - experimental implementation of DisMan Remote Operations MIB groups |
| (remote nslookup, ping, traceroute and expressions via SNMP) |
| - The proxy supports a new -Cc flag which passes the community |
| name through to the other side rather than hard-coding it. |
| - The config_require() and other modules can now be placed |
| inside of CPP directievs (#if, /* ... */) as header files are |
| now passed through CPP processing first. |
| - new config_exclude() macro for excluding certain modules |
| - new config_belongs_in() macro to specify if a chunk of code |
| found by --with-mib-modules belongs in the agent library or |
| the mib module library. |
| - Uses a smaller function stack. |
| |
| commands: |
| - snmpusm: A number of key-change improvements |
| (EG, changing localized keys supported, diffie-helman support, ...) |
| - New -Ln option to completely disable logging. |
| |
| mib2c: |
| - a number of new or updated configuration templates: |
| - mib2c.iterate.conf: the iterator-based table config |
| now produces fuller template code than before. |
| - mib2c.table_data.conf and mib2c.container.conf: |
| two new "internal-row" style configs |
| - mib2c.mfd.conf: "MIBs for Dummies" (or MFD) - intended to |
| reduce the SNMP knowledge needed to develop MIB modules |
| and add flexibility at the same time. Run "mib2c -S |
| mfd_interactive_setup=1 -c mib2c.mfd.conf OID" and follow |
| its guided instructions to help you tailor its results to |
| meet your needs. |
| - mib2c.genhtml.conf: Generates an easier-to-read HTML view of |
| a MIB tree structure. (See http://www.Net-SNMP.org/mibs/ |
| for example output.) |
| - more node tags available for conf file writers |
| - additional search directories may be set via MIB2C_DIRS env var. |
| - mib2c-update: new utility to help update mib2c generated code |
| when conf file changes. |
| - a mib2c.conf manual page to describe how to write mib2c .conf files. |
| - support for embedded perl code in mib2c.conf files |
| |
| documentation: |
| - New README.agent-mibs: an attempt to start documenting what |
| MIBs are implemented in the agent and on what architectures. |
| |
| perl: |
| - An improved SNMP::gettable() method. Uses GETBULK if possible and |
| better GETNEXT requests if not, decodes indexes from OIDs, |
| requests multiple variables at once, ... ("perldoc SNMP" for details) |
| - A NetSNMP::OID::get_indexes() function to extract index values |
| from an OID. |
| |
| Ports: |
| Linux: |
| - new experimental tables/rewrites for Linux, including: |
| ifTable, ifXTable, inetCidrRouteTable, ipCidrRouteTable, |
| ipAddressTable, ipSystemStatsTable, ipNetToPhysicalTable. |
| - Enable these talbles by specifying --enable-mfd-rewrites to configure. |
| - Most of these tables have IPv6 support as well. |
| - ifIndex no longer changes when interfaces are added/removed, and all |
| tables/object will now use the same ifIndex for the same interface. |
| |
| Solaris: |
| - new experimental support for ucd-snmp/lmSensors MIB module |
| |
| Win32: |
| - Support for the MinGW compiler |
| - Support for snmptrapd running as a service |
| - A Win32 specific build and install script |
| - Support for a .exe installer |
| (we'll make binaries available using it) |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - AgentX memory leak on sets |
| - SNMPv3 not-in-time window after 248 days |
| - Agent hang in HOST-RESOURCES MIB |
| - double free on duplicate registration |
| - OIDs with IP Addresses as indexes now print prettier |
| -'Lazy' installation of headers (only install if newer) |
| - allow whitespace in rocommunity/rwcommunity |
| - many miscellaneous bug reports |
| |
| |
| *5.1.2* |

| |
| *5.0* |
| |
| New: |
| |
| - Much of the agent internals were completely rewritten and sports |
| a new module API to make your life easier. See the |
| agent/mibgroup/examples directory for example code that makes |
| use of some of the new functionality. |
| (Also see http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/agent/ which has |
| some incomplete documentation) |
| - The agent sports embedded perl, see the perl details further below. |
| - The agent supports multiple SNMPv3 contexts and mib modules can |
| now register themselves under different contexts. (see the -n |
| option in the snmpcmd manual page for details on specifying |
| context strings in requests) |
| - The proxy code has been completely rewritten and now supports |
| the use of SNMPv3 contexts to help select which proxied host you |
| wish to talk to. See the snmpd.conf manual page. |
| - All the tools take --configToken=value options now. (see -H |
| output from any command for what configTokens it accepts) |
| - All the tools can speak over many different transport layers |
| now, including UDP/TCP (ipv4 and ipv6), AAL5pvc, and IPX. See |
| ./configure --help for details on enabling them. |
| Note: the -p and -T flags to all the applications have been |
| removed. Use hostname strings like "tcp:localhost:9999" |
| instead. See the snmpcmd manual page for details. |
| - snmptrapd now acts as an agentx subagent and implements portions |
| of the NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB to allow captured traps and informs |
| to be queried. |
| - A "net-snmp-config" script will get installed which can report |
| how the various tools were built (which libraries they were |
| linked against, etc). It will also help you do other things as |
| well, like setting up snmpv3. Run net-snmp-config --help for details. |
| - kerberos authenticated and encrypted SNMPv3 is now possible. |
| See ./configure --help for details on enabling the ksm security module. |
| - The AgentX subagent protocol implementation has many new |
| features and fixes. |
| - mib2c was completely rewritten and has a much improved |
| configuration file specification. |
| - Much of the code is getting documented with "doxygen" style |
| documentation. Run "make docs" if you have doxygen installed. |
| - some RMON support is available. |
| (See agent/mibgroup/Rmon/README for details.) |
| - The source tree has been reorganized and all the exported header |
| files are now in the include subdirectory. You can now point to |
| the includes easily without having to run "make install" first. |
| - the agent now requires a configuration file to access any information. |
| - The entire code base has had indent run on it to effect a |
| consistent coding style. See the CodingStyle file for details. |
| |
| Perl: |
| |
| - The SNMP perl module now calls init_snmp() like real net-snmp |
| applications, which means it will read snmp.conf configuration |
| files, etc. |
| - new perl specific configure options --with-perl-modules & |
| --enable-embedded-perl. See ./configure --help for details. |
| - The beginnings of some new Perl modules (alpha level quality) |
| are in the perl directory, including: |
| - NetSNMP::agent which allows perl scripts to become net-snmp |
| master or subagents |
| - AnyData::SNMP is available that implements a perl DBI |
| interface to map SQL commands to SNMP. Included is a "netsh" |
| shell where SQL commands can be typed, aliases created, etc. |
| See the perl/AnyData_SNMP/INSTALL file for details. |
| - Beginning (alpha level quality) support for embedding perl |
| subroutines directly within the net-snmp agent. |

| - The mib parser supports a variety of options dictating how |
| strictly it parses mib files. |
| (see snmpcmd.1 on "-P") |
| - Debugging output with the -D flag now accepts a list of |
| debugging information types to print. |
| (see snmpcmd.1 on "-D") |
| - Minimal multi-thread support using a modified version of the |
| session API. |
| (see snmp_sess_api(3)) |
| - persistent storage of information is possible from the agent's |
| mib modules now. |
| (see read_config(3)) |
| - The target mib has been implemented as an optional module. |
| - More documentation has been written. |
| - The recommended mib module API has changed slightly, but is |
| backwards compatible as well. See the AGENT.txt file for new |
| documentation on how to write mib modules for the agent. |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - many misc bug fixes, as always. |
| |
| Ports: |
| - snmpnetstat has been ported to the win32 environment. |
| |
| *3.5.3* |
| - Bug fixes, including row creation sets to mib modules should work again. |
| |
| *3.5.2* |
| - very small last minute bug fixes for win32 and freebsd mostly. |
| |
| *3.5.1* |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - Many bug fixes submitted by users and the ucd-snmp-coders. |
| - v2party support in the agent has been fixed. |
| - The UCD-SNMP-MIB is SMICng compliant and should work under HP OV better. |
| - Most sections of the mibII tree are 64bit clean. |
| |
| Copyright: |
| - Simplification. |
| |
| *3.5* |
| |
| New: |
| - agent/mibgroup directory reorganized hierarchically. |
| - this may break the agent compilation with some compilers. |
| - floats, doubles, counter64s, int64s, uint64s support via opaque types. |
| - new modules: misc/ipfwacc. |
| - use of dynamicly loadable modules now possible, but not fully supported. |

| |
| Ports: |
| - host resources module should work on more platforms: NetBSD, |
| FreeBSD, SunOS (almost). |
| |
| *3.4* |
| |
| Important: |
| - the UCD-SNMP specific mib structure changed. |
| - many of the table oids have changed location and have been renamed. |
| - the View Based Access Control module was implemented in the agent. |
| Therefore, the "community" snmpd.conf parameter no longer |
| exists. See the snmpd.conf file for how to control access via |
| community names now. |
| - The header file #defines have changed. You may have to compile |
| third party applications with -DCMU_COMPATIBLE (like perl-SNMP <= V1.7). |
| - The parser is more strict about unlinked OIDs and end-of-comment |
| conditions. You may see problems in a few broken mibs that used |
| to parse ok with the older parser. |
| |
| New: |
| - dynamic library support: configure with --enable-shared. |
| - the beginnings of a Perl/Tk/SNMP mib browser: tkmib |
| - all applications support -R for random oid-name lookups. |
| - default mib list changes when you add or remove agent mib-groups. |
| - debugging in the agent can be turned on and off using snmpsets. |
| - a new mib module displays a list of all loaded mib modules. |
| - the internal structure of the agent's mib modules is now hierarchical. |
| - the agent looks for .conf files in both the lib/ and share/ directories. |
| - more improvements/options to snmptable. |
| - new vmstat module to report vmstat related information under linux. |
| - a perl based mib2c translator to convert mib sections to C code templates. |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - The code was run through purify for memory leaks and a few were found. |
| - snmptrap sends to the correct default port of 162 again. |
| |
| Ports: |
| - irix 6.2 support improved. |
| - openbsd. |
| - the host resources mib compiles on Solaris. |
| |
| *3.3.1* |
| |
| New: |
| - "make install" installs the library and header files. |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - compilation on many architectures (sunos for example). |
| - snmptrapd doesn't exit if v2party files don't exist. |
| - host resources works a bit better (ie, it compiles) under solaris. |
| |
| |
| *3.3* |
| |
| Path changes: |
| - the default paths to the installed mibs and snmpd.conf file have |
| changed to /usr/local/share/snmp (set differently using --datadir). |
| - the default path of the snmpd and snmptrapd have changed to |
| /usr/local/sbin (set differently using --sbindir). |
| |
| New: |
| - basic SNMPV2c support. |
| - Not fully tested (feedback please!), and not RFC compliant. |
| - all apps require '-v 2c' for v2c and '-v 2p' for the older party code. |
| - basic host-resources mib support for linux, and hpux. |
| - All environment variables can be set with a preceding '+' for |
| indicating additions to the default values. |
| - mib modules cleaned up more and can be added and removed more easily. |
| - mib modules have a new macro for callbacks when reading a .conf file. |
| - apps command line interfaces have merged together for standardization. |
| - the libsnmp library no longer forces printing of errors. |
| - 2 new applications: snmpdelta and snmptable. |
| - the mib parser caches mib directory scans for speed improvements. |
| - snmptrapd is snmp-version multi-lingual. |
| |
| Ported: |
| - irix should be more complete. |
| - aix 4.1.5. |
| - fixes for hpux 10.20. |
| - linux 2.1.x support. |
| - library and apps supported under 32bit windows systems. |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - too numerous to mention. |
| |
| *3.2* |
| |
| New: |
| - Top level of the mib parser has been restructured |
| - no longer reads 'mib.txt' |
| - no longer reads everything (MIBS/MIBDIRS) |
| - reads import clauses to load other required modules |
| - new man page: mib_api.3 |
| - The agent has been completely restructured (modularized) to |
| allow for easier extension via C code and requires no |
| modification of the ucd-snmp distributed source code to add in |

| agent/mibgroup subdirectory for details. Modules are added and/or |
| removed via configure options. |
