- SNMPv3 objects using authentication now send a separate authenticated
request message for time synchronization while performing discovery.
- Non-blocking SNMPv1/2c messages with a "-delay" argument which are
queued before entering the event loop are no longer incorrectly
discarded.
- The Net::SNMP::Security::Community::security_model() method now
returns the correct value as reserved by RFC 2571.
- The first subidentifier in an OBJECT IDENTIFIER is now restricted to
ccitt(0), iso(1), or joint-iso-ccitt(2) as specified by ISO/IEC 8825.
Fixes PR/15220 by Shell Hung (I really should get a function key
with that text!)
- The module has been completely redesigned to add support for SNMPv3
and to follow the SNMP Management Framework defined by RFC 2571.
- Perl version 5.6.0 or greater is now required to use the module.
- Updated the method calls to expect the same argument syntax regardless
of whether they are invoked by "blocking" or "non-blocking" objects.
- The non-core modules Crypt::DES, Digest::MD5, Digest::SHA1, and
Digest::HMAC are now required to support SNMPv3.
- Added the ability to specify the local address and port number used by
each object.
- Corrected an error in the Net::SNMP::FSM module that would cause all
response messages to be dropped in "non-blocking" mode if there is
a recv() error.
- Updated the logic in the "blocking" response handling method such
the transmit buffer is properly updated if there is a decode
error while parsing the GetResponse-PDU.
- Counter, Guages, and TimeTick values that are incorrectly encoded as
negative signed integers are now converted to unsigned values. This
feature can be disabled by setting the "-unsigned" flag to false
using the translate() method.
- An empty community name is now allowed.
- Updated the "non-blocking" example script.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
