Subject: Net-SNMP 5.1.1 released
To: net-snmp-announce em lists.sourceforge.net


Net-SNMP 5.1.1 has been made available on our download site
( http://www.Net-SNMP.org/download/ ).  This release contains a slew
of bug fixes and minor improvements over the 5.1 version.

Due to the hard word and dedication of a few people (most notably:
Michael Slifcak and Alex Burger) who have poured a tremendous amount
of energy into win32 support for the package, windows users should
find this release much improved when compared to the 5.1 release.  See
the README.win32 file and the NEWS clips below for details.

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

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

  Here's the portion of the NEWS file from 5.1 to 5.1.1:

*5.1.1*
 New:
   - test suite supports testing over other transports (tcp, udp6, unix, ...)
     (see the -P switch to the testing/RUNTESTS script)
   - Solaris supports the use of it's PKCS#11 library for supporting
     cryptographic functions (OpenSSL isn't required if PKCS#11 is available)
     (see configure's --with-pkcs flag)

 Fixes:
   - Improvements on 64 bit architectures.
   - A few minor memory leaks fixed.
   - An extremely large number of minor bug fixes.
   - Many perl module specific bug fixes.
   - snmpd will safely handle more signals.

 Ports:
   - Many many significant Windows improvements.
     - AgentX support is working again under windows.
     - SCM support is built into the agent to allow the agent to be
       started as a windows service.
     - MSDOS names are supported in path names.
     - A win32 build script in win32/build.pl
     - Support for the MinGW compiler
     - (see the README.win32 file for details on new ports)
     - Various helpful win32/*.bat files for installation, etc.
   - Some linux 2.6 support improvements

Are there binaries available?
----------------------------

  - Binaries do appear on our download site, but often are published a
    bit later than the normal source code.  Most of the binaries that
    are available have been linked with the OpenSSL package so you'll
    need a copy of it installed in order to use them.  If you don't
    have OpenSSL installed and don't want it installed, please get the
    net-snmp source release instead and built it yourself (but you'll
    loose support for SNMPv3 with SHA1 authentication and both DES and
    AES encryption).

What operating systems does it run on?
-------------------------------------

  Both the applications and the agent have been reported as running
  (at least in part) on the following operating systems:

	* HP-UX (10.20 to 9.01 and 11.0 -- see README.hpux11)
	* Ultrix (4.5 to 4.2)
	* Solaris SPARC/ULTRA (2.8 to 2.3), Intel (2.9) 
          and SunOS (4.1.4 to 4.1.2)
	* OSF (4.0, 3.2)
	* NetBSD (1.5alpha to 1.0)
	* FreeBSD (4.1 to 2.2)
	* BSDi (4.0.1 to 2.1)
	* Linux (kernels 2.4 to 1.3)
	* AIX (4.1.5, 3.2.5)
	* OpenBSD (2.8, 2.6)
	* Irix (6.5 to 5.1)
	* OS X (10.1.1 and 10.1.2)
	* Dynix/PTX 4.4
	* QNX 6.2.1A

  See our FAQ at http://www.Net-SNMP.org/FAQ.html for more details on
  portability of the Net-SNMP package.

Which versions of the SNMP protocol are supported in this package?
-----------------------------------------------------------------

  SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 (including user-based and kerberos-based support) 

I've found a bug or have a suggestion, how do I tell you about it?
-----------------------------------------------------------------

  Please submit the bug to our bug-tracking system at
  http://www.net-snmp.org/bugs/

What's the difference between UCD-SNMP and Net-SNMP?
---------------------------------------------------

  Not a great deal, really.
  Although the project originally started at UC Davis (hence the name),
  and it has always been based there, most of the contributors have had
  little or no connection with this institution.

    The move to SourceForge was intended to provide a more flexible
  environment for the project, and to distribute the administrative
  workload more evenly.  The change of name simply reflects this move,
  which was the last remaining link with UC Davis.

    The 4.2.x line is the last release line that uses the ucd-snmp name,
  and all releases under this banner will be bug-fixes only.  Release
  5.0 is the first version using the net-snmp name, and all new features
  and significant development will be released under this name.
    (Though the dividing line between a bug-fix and a new feature is
  something of a vague one, so some changes in the 4.2.x line may be
  relatively non-trivial!)
