The beginning of the 5.7 release-cycle has started.  The first
pre-release is now available for testing.  Only bug fixes will be
applied beyond this point to the SVN trunk.

Side important note: Sometime later this month, the Net-SNMP project
will be switching to git for housing it's code-base.

NEWS at this point:

*5.7*

  snmpd:
      - Delivery of data via regularily scheduled notifications.
        (see "Data Delivery via Notfiications" in snmpd.conf)
      - Many time-based config options can take (m)ins, (h)ours, ... arguments
        (see the snmpd.conf manual page)
      - The PING and TRACEROUTE MIBs now compile and work-ish on linux
        http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/DISMAN
      - Mib handlers can now implement a data_clone function for
        cloning the myvoid structure variable to avoid dangling pointers
      - Fixed persistent storage of VACM MIB configuration
      - Multi-homed agents send UDP responses from the proper IP address
      - the hrStorageTable implementation now supports large filesystems better
      - optimizations for large route tables
      - Added a deliveryByNotify config token for regular data delivery
        (see the snmpd.conf manual page and the NET-SNMP-PERIODIC-NOTIFY-MIB)
      - Patch 3141462: fix agentx subagent issues with multiple-object requests
      - [PATCH 3057093]: linux uses libpci for creating useful ifDescr strings

  libnetsnmp:
      - Removed the older CMU compatibility support
      - the SSH transport is now configurable

  TLS/DTLS support:
      - The SNMP over DTLS transport now properly supports IPv6
      - Introduced new configuration tokens: localCert/peerCert
        (deprecating serverCert, clientCert, defX509ServerPub, defX509ClientPub)
      - Various fixes for the TLS/DTLS transports

  apss:
      - Added a per-variable timed output support to snmpwalk using -CT
      - snmpinform now correctly uses the local engineID for informs
      - A number of mib2c bug fixes
      - new snmp.conf tokens for timeouts and retries

  building:
      - New flags to reduce the amount of compiled code to bare minimums.
        This is provided by a new generic feature marking/selection mechanism.
        http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Feature_Marking_and_Selection
      - It's now possible to build without SNMPv3/USM
        (e.g., if you only want TLS/DTLS with SNMPv3/TSM)
      - It's possible to build the suite with no SET support
        configure using --enable-read-only
      - It's possible to build the agent as a notify-only agent
        configure using --enable-notify-only
      - Added a script to test memory usage with various config options
        (see the local/minimalist/sizetests script)
      - Net-SNMP can now be built to perform local DNSSEC validation
        (install DNSSEC-Tools' libval and use --with-local-dnssec-validation)

  testing:
      - a number of new API unit-tests have been added to the suite
        (to run the tests: cd testing && ./RUNFULLTESTS -g unit-tests)
      - The unit tests can be more easily run under valgrind
        (See http://bit.ly/jsgRnv for details)

  openbsd:
      - Support for updating the routing table via SNMP

  win32:
      - the testing suite works better under win32 environments
      - Many building fixes for the win32 environment(s)

  solaris:
      - Net-SNMP now supports the SCTP-MIB

  DragonFlyBSD, FreeBSD8
      - Net-SNMP should now work on DragonFlyBSD and FreeBSD8

  And of course:
      - Many other bug fixes.  See the CHANGES and ChangeLog for details.
