1.7
	snmpd: Move event library initialisation before reading of
	config file (thanks to phk).

	gensnmptree: can now read more than one tree and merge them.

	some support for compilation on older systems

	use standard C fixed width integer types [u]intNN_t

1.6
	New gensnmpdef tool. Needs libsmi.

	Make build infrastructure more intelligent.

	Fix a typo in the mibII counter retrival code.

	Add a new field to struct snmp_node for snmp agents: tree_data.
	This field can be used by the application.

	Fix a syntax error in the example configuration file (thanks to
	David J Duchscher).

	Fix a long standing problem with the module loading code
	and a memory leak. When a module could not be loaded usually
	a core dump was generated. This was caused by wrong handling
	of malloced memory in the module table dependency. While
	fixing this problem it became obvious that dynamic allocated
	data which was held in a dependency could be lost, because
	there was no guarantee that the dependency handler ever was
	call (in case of an error in a SET handler or an earlier
	dependency in the same PDU) thus causing this memory to leak.
	To fix this a third dependency operation is introduced
	SNMP_DEPOP_FINISH which is invoked just before a dependency
	is freed at the very end of the SET PDU handling. This
	means also that finalizers (set_atfinish) can be converted
	to DEPOP_FINISH handler in almost all cases. The only case
	where this is not so easy is when a finializer was registered
	for a simple SET operation. In this case an artifical dependency
	would be needed. Because this seems to occure very seldom the
	snmp_set_atfinish() call is removed. Thanks to Paul-Henning Kamp
	for an initial fix for the core dump.

09-Dec-2003
	First step on factoring out the transport mapping stuff into
	loadable modules.

	Local stream sockets that check the clients privileges.

03-Dec-2003
	Bump version to 1.5 but leave library version intact.

03-Dec-2003
	Now works with libbegemot polling stuff instead of libisc.
	Use --with-libbegemot[=path] to configure.

03-Dec-2003
	Fix parsing of non-minimal ASN.1 integers. They are now disallowed.
	Non-minimal lengths are allowed.

	Remove copyright clause 3 everywhere.

	Make an autoconf build infrastructure.

08-Nov-2003
	WARNS=6 fixed.

28-Jan-2003
	WARNS=5 fixes.

09-Jan-2003
	snmpd: remove local socket in case of an error to fully initialize it.
	Use chmod instead of fchmod. The latter seems not really to change
	the mode of the socket.

	lib: at program exit remove the local socket in the library.

11-Dec-2002
	Implement listening on unix domain sockets. The client must bind
	its socket, or the server cannot send back its response. These
	sockets are considered to be more secure, because it is much
	harder for an intruder to listen on them.

	This requires changes in snmpmod.h and snmpclient.h.

04-Dec-2002
	Sparc fixes.

15-Aug-2002
	Use inttypes.h instead of limits.h to get integer limits. This
	seems to be the Posix way.

	First drafts of an snmpd, gensnmptree, asn1, bsnmplib,
	bsnmpclient, bsnmpagent, snmpmod, snmp_mibII, snmp_netgraph man pages.

	snmpd/main.c: reorder getopt options according to style(9). Implement
	a -h option to print a short help.

25-Jun-2002
	Makefiles rewritten to not use bsnmpmod.mk. The BSD makefiles are
	really hard to use, because a) they are not documented and b) they
	change much too often.

	Make the patch a context diff instead of a unified one.

28-Feb-2002
	Library code for SNMP clients.
