Wes Hardaker
The beginning of the 5.7 release-cycle has started. The first
pre-release is now available for testing. Only bug fixes will be
applied beyond this point to the SVN trunk.
Side important note: Sometime later this month, the Net-SNMP project
will be switching to git for housing it's code-base.

NEWS at this point:
*5.7*
snmpd:
- Delivery of data via regularily scheduled notifications.
(see "Data Delivery via Notfiications" in snmpd.conf)
- Many time-based config options can take (m)ins, (h)ours, ... arguments
(see the snmpd.conf manual page)
- The PING and TRACEROUTE MIBs now compile and work-ish on linux
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/DISMAN
- Mib handlers can now implement a data_clone function for
cloning the myvoid structure variable to avoid dangling pointers
- Fixed persistent storage of VACM MIB configuration
- Multi-homed agents send UDP responses from the proper IP address
- the hrStorageTable implementation now supports large filesystems better
- optimizations for large route tables
- Added a deliveryByNotify config token for regular data delivery
(see the snmpd.conf manual page and the NET-SNMP-PERIODIC-NOTIFY-MIB)
- Patch 3141462: fix agentx subagent issues with multiple-object requests
- [PATCH 3057093]: linux uses libpci for creating useful ifDescr strings
libnetsnmp:
- Removed the older CMU compatibility support
- the SSH transport is now configurable
TLS/DTLS support:
- The SNMP over DTLS transport now properly supports IPv6
- Introduced new configuration tokens: localCert/peerCert
(deprecating serverCert, clientCert, defX509ServerPub, defX509ClientPub)
- Various fixes for the TLS/DTLS transports
apss:
- Added a per-variable timed output support to snmpwalk using -CT
- snmpinform now correctly uses the local engineID for informs
- A number of mib2c bug fixes
- new snmp.conf tokens for timeouts and retries
building:
- New flags to reduce the amount of compiled code to bare minimums.
This is provided by a new generic feature marking/selection mechanism.
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Feature_Marking_and_Selection
- It's now possible to build without SNMPv3/USM
(e.g., if you only want TLS/DTLS with SNMPv3/TSM)
- It's possible to build the suite with no SET support
configure using --enable-read-only
- It's possible to build the agent as a notify-only agent
configure using --enable-notify-only
- Added a script to test memory usage with various config options
(see the local/minimalist/sizetests script)
- Net-SNMP can now be built to perform local DNSSEC validation
(install DNSSEC-Tools' libval and use --with-local-dnssec-validation)
testing:
- a number of new API unit-tests have been added to the suite
(to run the tests: cd testing && ./RUNFULLTESTS -g unit-tests)
- The unit tests can be more easily run under valgrind
(See http://bit.ly/jsgRnv for details)
openbsd:
- Support for updating the routing table via SNMP
win32:
- the testing suite works better under win32 environments
- Many building fixes for the win32 environment(s)
solaris:
- Net-SNMP now supports the SCTP-MIB
DragonFlyBSD, FreeBSD8
