What has Changed recently?
-------------------------------------------
The NEWS file snippits from these releases are as follows. See the
CHANGES and ChangeLog files for increasing levels of detail.
Note: this release (5.9) was made from a branch originally intended
to release a 5.8.1 release, but due to some minor API changes we
opted to release it as 5.9 instead to meet our published versioning
numbering policy. Thus, you might wish to consider it more
of a bug-fixing release than a more normal new-feature-based
release.
The following shows the NEWS file contents for the 5.8 release:
*5.9*
snmplib:
- Add IPv6 support to DTLSUDP transport CHANGES: snmplib: use new
netsnmp_sockaddr_storage in netsnmp_addr_pair CHANGES: snmplib: add
base_transport ptr for tunneled transports
snmpd:
- Security vulnerabilty in the ping MIB reported by Christopher Ertl
from Microsoft fixed
- Changing to a different uid/gid can only be done once
- The extend mib is now read-only by default
snmptrap:
- BUG: 2899: Patch from Drew Roedersheimer to set library
engineboots/time values before sending
unspecified:
- Add pkg-config support for building applications and sub-agents Use
the netsnmp package when building Net-SNMP applications. Use the
netsnmp-agent package when building Net-SNMP subagents.
Where can I get it?

Are there binaries available?
----------------------------
- Binaries do appear on our download site, but often are published a
bit later than the normal source code. Most of the binaries that
are available have been linked with the OpenSSL package so you'll
need a copy of it installed in order to use them. If you don't
have OpenSSL installed and don't want it installed, please get the
net-snmp source release instead and built it yourself (but you'll
loose support for SNMPv3 with SHA1 authentication and both DES and
AES encryption).
What operating systems does it run on?
-------------------------------------
Both the applications and the agent have been reported as running
(at least in part) on the following operating systems for at least
one version of Net-SNMP:
* Linux (kernels 4.17 to 1.3)
* Solaris/SPARC (11 to 2.3), Solaris/Intel (10, 9) -- see
README.solaris

* IRIX (6.5 to 5.1)
* OSF (4.0, 3.2 and Tru64 Unix 5.1B) -- see README.tru64
