New module asn1-ber released - a clone of the unmaintained asn1 project

[Stephen Vickers]

Hi All,

The asn1 module which is heavily depended on has received little attention over the past few years, so I have cloned the project and made a commitment to address all outstanding issues and pull requests, and maintain it going forward as a drop in replacement for asn1, i.e. where you would normally:

var asn1 = require("asn1")

You can simply replace this with:

var asn1 = require("asn1-ber")

I have taken the time to document it's public interface too, which can now access on npm:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/asn1-ber

I have updated my own net-snmp project to now depend on this new module, feel free to do the same.

Nearly all the outstanding issues and pull requests have been addressed, for details see the release notes in the docs here:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/asn1-ber#version-100---22072017
