The changes are not extreemly significant. I am working on
it to create a diff from the info I got from another.
Also within the NET-SNMP package the attempt is started to do
better namespace protection. This will cause also various functions
have their name changed (currently mainly structure type).
However, if SNMPv3 support is added the functions of the PHP language
change significant due to many extra options. Currently SNMPv3 is
full standard and SNMPv1 is historic within the IETF.
This reases the question whether the PHP langauge may be changed??
Or do we need to add the SNMPv3 functionality with an snmpv3 prefix
instead of the snmp prefix.
