For several years now, I've been muttering about identifying and consolidating what we mean by the "core API" for the Net-SNMP project. We've had a set of top-level header files ready for this, but they haven't really been used as such.
I've just commited a set of changes to the include/ tree, which moves what I would consider to be the heart of the core API into these top-level header files (together with a reworking of the man pages to match). There are suitable cross-includes in place, so that anything still using the tradition header locations (like everything!) should still work. And the tests that I have run seem to indicate that nothing in the standard source tree should notice the difference. But hopefully this can stand as the beginning of a process to clarify (and properly document) exactly what APIs are available to developers using the Net-SNMP suite. Sorry for the late notice, but it struck me that I'd really like to see this finally make some progress (after 7 years of waiting!). And preferably as part of the 5.5 cycle - hence acting now. I now await the cries of anguish....
