The first of the pre-releases for 5.5 is now available on our download site. Feedback during our pre-release and RC series is always greatly appreciated, so if you're willing to give it a whirl please do so!
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12694&package_id=11571&release_id=672929 NEWS-worthy items for the release include: applications: - Added the ability to "alias" transports to a more simple name (see the "alias" keyword in the snmp.conf manual page) - The -t (timeout) switch will accept floating point numbers (eg: .1) snmplib: - Support for the TSM security model for use with tunneling - Implemented RFC5343 contextEngineID probing. This allows for probing of the contextEngineID without requiring the USM security model. - implemented entirely within the library for both clients and servers. - Introduce printf-like versions of config_perror and config_pwarn (netsnmp_config_error and netsnmp_config_warn). Replace many instances of { tmpbuf[...]; sprintf(tmpbuf, ...); config_p*(tmpbuf); } with netsnmp_config_*(...); - Added GCC format checking attributes to the debug functions. - Change snmp_sess_add_ex to consistently close and delete the transport argument on failure, earlier the liveness of the transport argument was undecided. - Change the type of the oid arguments from oid* to const oid*. Update mib2c to take advantage of the change. - Convert generic source arguments from const u_char* to const void* for snmp_pdu_add_variable, snmp_varlist_add_variable, snmp_set_var_value, snmp_set_var_typed_value and memdup. - Remove support for use of varargs.h. Now assumes that stdarg.h is available. - Corrected registering of multiple premib config handlers so that all of them get registered as premib handlers as opposed to the earlier behaviour where they always got registered as normal config items. - Patch: 1882069: from nschrenk: Add a exactEngineID token for specifying an exact SNMPv3 engineID to use - added iterator for singly linked lists; add container name in more error msgs - [BUG 1619827]: link against needed external libraries at library link time (where they are referenced), rather than application link time. Already covers most of libnetsnmpmibs' external dependencies. Fixes build issues on some platforms (e.g. building with shared libraries on AIX). Tested on different versions of Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and IRIX. - [PATCH 1592706]: Fix memory leak when cloning varbinds. Based on a suggestion by Steven Dorigotti. - [PATCH 700681]: limited support for UDPv4 broadcast addresses - [PATCH 1895927]: change obsolete recv/send to recvfrom/sendto - [BUG 1596638]: memory leak in ipCidrRouteTable, inetCidrRouteTable - [BUG 1611524]: fix tcp connection table fd leak snmpd: - [PATCH 1585146]: Extend range of available error codes - patch from Wojtek Jawor to handle row deletion issues in dataset tables - Added support for a user provided length variable and C string values to the watcher helper. - ipNetToPhysicalLastUpdated OID implemented The value is estimated with every cache reload, which is once in 60 seconds by default. That means the value reported by snmpd may differ from reality by one minute. If anybody needs better precision, the cache timeout can be configured by setting NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsCacheTimeout.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.35 to appropriate value by snmpset. - Enable automatic reregistering of sysORTable entries from AgentX subagents. Add the sysORTable interface to the include directory. Rewrite the sysORTable module to use the table_container handler. - [BUG 1558823]: fix ipAddressTable memory leak - [BUG 1712988]: default and configurable maximum number of varbinds returnable to a GETBULK request - [PATCH 1585146]: Extend range of available error codes Submitted by Anthony Novatsis. - [PATCH 1666737]: include ipv6 counts in udpInDatagrams, udpNoPorts, udpInErrors, udpOutDatagrams - [PATCH 1704105]: Add IPv6 support to the inetNetToMediaTable for linux - [PATCH 1705594]: Fix various aspects of linux ipAddressPrefixTable reporting. - [PATCH 1715405]: Implement the ipv6ScopeZoneIndexTable on linux - [PATCH 1723611]: Yanagi: New implementation of the rmon alarmTable - [PATCH 1737439]: automatic link up/down traps on a walk; still need a better interface for manually doing things on an occasional basis - [PATCH 1806501]: Add a snmp_v3trap function for sending traps with a snmpv3 context - [PATCH 1828602]: Support ipDefaultTTL and ipForwarding SETs on linux - [PATCH 1882621]: Add LVM support to the partition table - [PATCH 1893468]: fixed registration of OIDs with ranges - [PATCH 1909813]: fix table_iterator hint to get_first when SORTED flag is set - [PATCH 1916840]: new config option to set SNMPv1 trap agent address - [PATCH 1927751]: implement icmpMsgStatsTable on Linux - [PATCH 2023633]: add SCTP-MIB implementation (Linux only) - [PATCH 2449210]: add 64-bit disk usage statistics to UCD-SNMP-MIB::dskTable - ipAddressSpinLock implemented - patch from Wojtek Jawor to handle row deletion issues in dataset tables - patch: 1700157: from afrika: fixes ordering of exec tokens in the resulting mib tree - patch: 1708243: from nhorman: implement the ipDefaultRouteTable on linux - patch: 1719253: from "Christian Jung": fix skipNFSInHostResources so it does not break on the second walk of the table. - suppress annoying "registration != duplicate" warning for root oids (otherwise, you'll get this message on almost every startup) - [BUG 1558823]: fix ipAddressTable memory leak - [BUG 1596638]: memory leak in ipCidrRouteTable, inetCidrRouteTable - [BUG 1611524]: fix tcp connection table fd leak snmptrapd: - add trap handler for logging traps to a mysql database - Withdraw deprecated options.

Mostly self-contained, and significantly less confusing! - Retire the config_old/new_require feature and replace it with config_version_require that compares version numbers to achieve a similar thing - [PATCH 2091156]: correctly declare dependencies in Makefile.
