I'm happy to announce the release of version 5.3.1 for Net-SNMP.
There are a few important comments about this release:
- The NEWS file contained in the tar ball is incomplete (my fault).
The NEWS snippit below, however, more accurately reflects the changes.
- Starting with this release, we're also releasing the perl modules
to CPAN as well. The perl modules are already available there as
of today and the SNMP module even contains a few patches over what
is available in the normal tar ball. We've had many issues in the
past with people trying to use incompatible Net-SNMP versions with
the CPAN perl modules, so the Makefile will now check for version
compatibility (and let you know what you options are if they're
incompatible).
