Net-SNMP 5.2.2 is available

Net-SNMP 5.2.2 has been made available on our download site
( http://www.Net-SNMP.org/download/ ). This release contains a number
bug fixes and an entirely rewritten snmpnetstat (see below for
details).

Official patches for this or any of the Net-SNMP releases will be
available (as always) at http://www.net-snmp.org/official_patches/
(there is already one patch there now for 5.2.2 fixing snmptrap with
SNMPv3 and potentially other non-typical SNMPv3/USM user creation
scenarios)

FYI, Net-SNMP 5.3 is close on 5.2.2's heels and is expected out in the
next month that is our next "new features" release.

We hope you enjoy this new release,
The NET-SNMP Development Team

What has Changed recently?
-------------------------------------------

Here's the portion of the NEWS file describing the changes in 5.2.2:

*5.2.2*

New:
- Due to a copyright statement that didn't allow modifications,
snmpnetstat was completely rewritten. The new binary is named
snmpnetstat53, and we've provided a snmpnetstat wrapper script to
make the command line options backwards compatible. As a side
effect, however, it now finally supports SNMPv3 at least.

Ports:
- Win32
- Cygwin compiler fixes
- Fix for 'select: No such file or directory' in snmpdelta

Fixes:
- Persistent files in directory defined by snmp.conf persistentDir were
not being loaded at startup
- Perl getnext didn't honor explicit reference to MIB file
- Better configure detection for embedded perl functions
- Better documentation and snmpconf support for using AES encryption
- Many many other miscellaneous bugs
