*** Security Fix ***
Changes 5.3:
*** Important Notes ***
Several very significant changes have been made in Net-SNMP for this
release that warrant special attention.
- shared library version number no longer matches the release number. We
now follow the versioning scheme recommended by libtool. For the 5.3
release this means that the libraries now have a SONAME ending with
".so.10", e.g. libnetsnmp.so.10.
- snmpd has not been truncating log files at startup, as documented in
the man pages, for a while now. This default behaviour has been restored.
Please use the '-A' flag if you want to continue appending to your log
files at startup.
- snmptrapd will no longer accept all traps by default. It must be
configured with authorized SNMPv1/v2c community strings and/or SNMPv3
users. Non-authorized traps/informs will be dropped.
- Due to a copyright statement that didn't allow modifications,
snmpnetstat has been completely rewritten. The new version now
accepts the same command-line options as the other tools, which
has introduced a number of incompatible changes. However, it
does now finally support SNMPv3.
