During the testing for release 5.0.4, a release candidate was uploaded
188
to Sourceforge and marked as hidden. For variouse reasons, the release
189
was delayed and further changes and fixes were made. However, the
190
release candidate files still appeared on the public FTP server and our
191
mirrors. To avoid the confusion that could occur to users who may have
192
downloaded this release candidate, we are bumping the revision number
193
to 5.0.5. If you downloaded net-snmp-5.0.4.tar.gz, please upgrade
194
to net-snmp-5.0.5.tar.gz.

specify defaults and configuration information to the various
608
applications. Run each command with -H to see what it understands.
609
(see snmp_config(5), snmpd.conf(5), snmp.conf(5), snmptrapd.conf(5))
610
- The configuration file parser looks in ~/.snmp by default as
611
well, allowing each user to have his/her own setup files for the
612
various applications.
613
- The mib parser supports a variety of options dictating how
614
strictly it parses mib files.
615
(see snmpcmd.1 on "-P")
616
- Debugging output with the -D flag now accepts a list of
617
debugging information types to print.
618
(see snmpcmd.1 on "-D")
619
- Minimal multi-thread support using a modified version of the
621
(see snmp_sess_api(3))
622
- persistent storage of information is possible from the agent's
625
- The target mib has been implemented as an optional module.
626
- More documentation has been written.
627
- The recommended mib module API has changed slightly, but is
628
backwards compatible as well. See the AGENT.txt file for new
629
documentation on how to write mib modules for the agent.
632

657
- agent/mibgroup directory reorganized hierarchically.
658
- this may break the agent compilation with some compilers.
659
- floats, doubles, counter64s, int64s, uint64s support via opaque types.
660
- new modules: misc/ipfwacc.
661
- use of dynamicly loadable modules now possible, but not fully supported.
662
- New application command line flags: -s, -S, -m MIBS, -M MIBDIRS.
663
- new configure options: --with-cc=CC and --with-cflags=CFLAGS
666

673
FreeBSD, SunOS (almost).

- the UCD-SNMP specific mib structure changed.
679
- many of the table oids have changed location and have been renamed.
680
- the View Based Access Control module was implemented in the agent.
681
Therefore, the "community" snmpd.conf parameter no longer
682
exists. See the snmpd.conf file for how to control access via
684
- The header file #defines have changed. You may have to compile
685
third party applications with -DCMU_COMPATIBLE (like perl-SNMP <= V1.7).
686
- The parser is more strict about unlinked OIDs and end-of-comment
687
conditions. You may see problems in a few broken mibs that used
688
to parse ok with the older parser.
691
- dynamic library support: configure with --enable-shared.
692
- the beginnings of a Perl/Tk/SNMP mib browser: tkmib

710
- the host resources mib compiles on Solaris.
715
- "make install" installs the library and header files.
718
- compilation on many architectures (sunos for example).
719
- snmptrapd doesn't exit if v2party files don't exist.
720
- host resources works a bit better (ie, it compiles) under solaris.
726
- the default paths to the installed mibs and snmpd.conf file have
727
changed to /usr/local/share/snmp (set differently using --datadir).
728
- the default path of the snmpd and snmptrapd have changed to
729
/usr/local/sbin (set differently using --sbindir).
732

749
- fixes for hpux 10.20.
750
- linux 2.1.x support.
751
- library and apps supported under 32bit windows systems.
754
- too numerous to mention.
759
- Top level of the mib parser has been restructured
760

766
modification of the ucd-snmp distributed source code to add in
