I've placed Net-SNMP 5.6.pre3 up for testing:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp/files/net-snmp/5.6-pre-releases/
This is scheduled to be the last pre-release before the .rc series starts.
Current NEWS cropping:
*5.6*
all:
- Implemented the SNMP over TLS and SNMP over DTLS protocols [RFC-to-be]
See http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:Using_TLS
- Implemented the "Transport Security Model" [RFC5591]
- Generic host-specific configuration .conf files are now read.
See the HOST-SPECIFIC FILES section of the snmp.conf manual page
and http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Configuration
- Include statements can now be used in .conf files.
See http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Configuration
snmpd:
- Fix handling of multiple matching VACM entries. (Use the "best"
match, rather than the first one). Reported by Adam Lewis. Note
that this could potentially affect the behaviour of existing access
control configurations.
- Agent will no longer call table handlers if a set request for the
handler has invalid indexes
- table_data/tdata next handler will not be called during get
processing if no valid rows are found for the handler
- [PATCH 2952708]: Added Perl implementation of BRIDGE-MIB
- moved all functions defined in libnetsnmphelpers to
libnetsnmpagent. libnetsnmphelpers is now an empty library.
- Implemented the TSM-MIB and the TLSTM-MIB
- new API for indicating that persistent store needs to be saved
after the current request finishes processing
apps:
- A new tool 'net-snmp-cert' that easily creates and manages
X.509 certificates for use with the SNMP over (D)TLS protocols.
- Added an 'agentxtrap' command to send notifications via AgentX
(See http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:agentxtrap for details)
- -T command line flag can be used to pass configuration
directly to transports that can accept configuration tokens
- A new 'snmptls' command for manipulating the agent's TLS configuration
snmplib:
- A more modular transport subsystem that allows third party
extensions and dependencies for code reuse.
- New transport functions: f_config, f_open, f_copy and f_setup_session
- Transports can now specify session defaults
- E.G. dtlsudp: auto-sets the SNMP version and the security model.
- [PATCH 2942940]: Add a new function, netsnmp_parse_args, that is
like snmp_parse_args but takes an additional bitmask, flags, to
affect the behaviour. Also remove the magic handling of some
application names.
- A new X.509 certificate API for indexing and reading certificates
- new experimental row creation API which uses a state machine
to try really hard to create a row from a given varbind list
- netsnmp_container enhancements:
- added a free_item function
- added a CONTAINER_FREE_ALL macro/function
- added an interface for duplicating a container (CONTAINER_DUP)
- added a remove function to container_iterators
- added an ability to set options on binary_array containers
- new snmp token logOption allows specifying log destinations
via configuration conf files
- A very significant reduction in compiler warning output
- new experimental simple state machine handling API
building:
- Support for a stream-line stripped down version of internal
OpenSSL support using --with-openssl=internal.
- Do not require that the UDP transport is included.
- Building Net-SNMP with dmalloc support enabled is again possible.
mib2c:
- mib2c can now optionally run sed on generated code
testing:
- A brand new test infrastructure supporting multiple test suites
See perldoc testing/RUNFULLTESTS for details
python:
- walking broken agents won't cause an infinite loop
win32:
- IPv6 is only supported under Cygwin 1.7 or later.
- [BUG 2939168]: byte order of udpLocalPort is now correct.
- [BUG 2939168]: fixed test infrastructure ("make test"). This has
been fixed by using the proper environment separator character and
by adding the path of the netstat executable for Cygwin in
testing/TESTCONF.sh.
- building with another OpenSSL package than the Cygwin-provided
packages openssl and openssl-devel is again possible.
- running the regression test suite is again possible ('make test').
- winExtDLL compiles now under MinGW.
- the snmpd.conf keyword 'extend' is now supported under MinGW
- the snmptrapd.conf keyword traphandle is now supported under MinGW
