11.8
2	many man page fixes from ru@freebsd.org and tobez@freebsd.org
3
4	snmpd/main.c: fix a problem which resulted in the daemon exiting
5	when a local socket was closed.
6
7	snmpd/trans_lsock.c: include stdio.h to get a prototype for remove.
8
9	gensnmptree/gensnmptree.c: fix a compile error
101.7a
11	fix core dump when config file cannot be opened (submitted by
12	Maxim Konovalov)
13
141.7
15	snmpd: Move event library initialisation before reading of
16	config file (thanks to phk).
17
18	gensnmptree: can now read more than one tree and merge them.
19
20	some support for compilation on older systems
21
22	use standard C fixed width integer types [u]intNN_t
23
241.6
25	New gensnmpdef tool. Needs libsmi.
26
27	Make build infrastructure more intelligent.
28
29	Fix a typo in the mibII counter retrival code.
30
31	Add a new field to struct snmp_node for snmp agents: tree_data.
32	This field can be used by the application.
33
34	Fix a syntax error in the example configuration file (thanks to
35	David J Duchscher).
36
37	Fix a long standing problem with the module loading code
38	and a memory leak. When a module could not be loaded usually
39	a core dump was generated. This was caused by wrong handling
40	of malloced memory in the module table dependency. While
41	fixing this problem it became obvious that dynamic allocated
42	data which was held in a dependency could be lost, because
43	there was no guarantee that the dependency handler ever was
44	call (in case of an error in a SET handler or an earlier
45	dependency in the same PDU) thus causing this memory to leak.
46	To fix this a third dependency operation is introduced
47	SNMP_DEPOP_FINISH which is invoked just before a dependency
48	is freed at the very end of the SET PDU handling. This
49	means also that finalizers (set_atfinish) can be converted
50	to DEPOP_FINISH handler in almost all cases. The only case
51	where this is not so easy is when a finializer was registered
52	for a simple SET operation. In this case an artifical dependency
53	would be needed. Because this seems to occure very seldom the
54	snmp_set_atfinish() call is removed. Thanks to Paul-Henning Kamp
55	for an initial fix for the core dump.
56
5709-Dec-2003
58	First step on factoring out the transport mapping stuff into
59	loadable modules.
60
61	Local stream sockets that check the clients privileges.
62
6303-Dec-2003
64	Bump version to 1.5 but leave library version intact.
65
6603-Dec-2003
67	Now works with libbegemot polling stuff instead of libisc.
68	Use --with-libbegemot[=path] to configure.
69
7003-Dec-2003
71	Fix parsing of non-minimal ASN.1 integers. They are now disallowed.
72	Non-minimal lengths are allowed.
73
74	Remove copyright clause 3 everywhere.
75
76	Make an autoconf build infrastructure.
77
7808-Nov-2003
79	WARNS=6 fixed.
80
8128-Jan-2003
82	WARNS=5 fixes.
83
8409-Jan-2003
85	snmpd: remove local socket in case of an error to fully initialize it.
86	Use chmod instead of fchmod. The latter seems not really to change
87	the mode of the socket.
88
89	lib: at program exit remove the local socket in the library.
90
9111-Dec-2002
92	Implement listening on unix domain sockets. The client must bind
93	its socket, or the server cannot send back its response. These
94	sockets are considered to be more secure, because it is much
95	harder for an intruder to listen on them.
96
97	This requires changes in snmpmod.h and snmpclient.h.
98
9904-Dec-2002
100	Sparc fixes.
101
10215-Aug-2002
103	Use inttypes.h instead of limits.h to get integer limits. This
104	seems to be the Posix way.
105
106	First drafts of an snmpd, gensnmptree, asn1, bsnmplib,
107	bsnmpclient, bsnmpagent, snmpmod, snmp_mibII, snmp_netgraph man pages.
108
109	snmpd/main.c: reorder getopt options according to style(9). Implement
110	a -h option to print a short help.
111
11225-Jun-2002
113	Makefiles rewritten to not use bsnmpmod.mk. The BSD makefiles are
114	really hard to use, because a) they are not documented and b) they
115	change much too often.
116
117	Make the patch a context diff instead of a unified one.
118
11928-Feb-2002
120	Library code for SNMP clients.
