-Changes to version 3.4.3
-------------------------
-
-- Bugfixes and improvements to pysnmp.test code
-- Bugfix to asn1.univ.Null() -- always initialize to an empty string
-- Python < 2.0 issue fixed at pysnmp.asn1 (defined slice operations for custom
- sequence objects)
-- Bugfix to compatibility class v1.Message: decode() overloaded to
- behave like original on BER decoding errors
-- Fixed __cmp__ methods at pysnmp.base to hide coercion errors on comparation
-- The examples/manager/snmpset.py example added for clarity
-
-Sun Feb 8 19:12:34 MSK 2004
-
-Changes to version 3.4.2
-------------------------
-
-- The pysnmp.test package implemented (pyunit based).
-- Bugfix to pysnmp1.x compatibility API that makes it operational
- again.
-- Bugfix to None -> Null() value translation at proto.api.generic.
-- Bugfix to OIDs comparation & SNMP error propagation code at
- proto.api.generic.
-- Bugfix to role.Agent instantiation at asyncrole.Agent code.
-- The VarBindMixIn.apiAlphaSetOidVal() method now does not modify current
- oid and/or val whenever None's passed as oid and/or val parameters
- respectively.
-
-Thu Feb 5 18:35:38 MSK 2004
-
-Changes to version 3.4.1
-------------------------
-
-- The examples/* tools reworked to act more like examples while full-blown
- SNMP tools (along with their CLI and friends) moved to a stand-alone package
- which is pysnmp-apps available from PySNMP homepage.
-- Components caching implemented at almost all asn1.base.Asn1Object
- deviratives what aims at significant performance improvement. What is
- related to this change is that various structured ASN.1 objects might not
- now return newly created inner components as well as not copying (but
- borrowing) passed objects on assignment.
-- The pysnmp.mapping.udp.bulkrole module dropped as it looks somewhat
- redundant to asynrole functionality.
-- Alpha API to pysnmp.proto objects is now the API of choice. Besides
- other improvements, this package introduces a protocol version-neutral
- API. Previous Generic API (pysnmp.proto.api.generic) remains for
- compatibility.
-- Code cleaned up to better comply with coding standards. Particularily,
- some symbols changed their case, though, aliases set for compatibility.
-- The suggested way to process SNMP responses at role.Agent has been changed
- to perform complete response processing at the callback function (cbFun).
- That's why the sendAndReceive() method of role.Agent class now accepts cbCtx
- parameter.

-
-- The examples/snmp*walk.py tools fixed not to query first OID in range
- by GetRequest unless explicitly specified by command line.
-- The -C<p|i|c> option implemented at examples/snmp*walk.py tools
-- Bugfix to empty/malformed VarBindList reference by ErrorIndex on
- ErrorStatus reported at examples/* tools.
-- Syntax errors fixed at pysnmp/mapping/udp/asynrole.py and
- pysnmp/proto/cli/ucd/rfc1905.py
-- The manager class at pysnmp/mapping/udp/role.py fixed not to connect()
- to default destination as this prevents underlying socket from
- receiving UDP from non-default source (some agents appear to respond
- from a strange IP/port). Note: this change raises the risk of agent
- IP/port spoofing!
-- New another flavor of API to protocol objects (pysnmp.proto.api.alpha)
- implemented as a superset of pysnmp.proto.api.generic API, which
- remains fully functional.
-- Bugfix to v*.SetRequest.Community initialization at pysnmp.proto
-- Bugfix to ObjectIdentifier class wrapper at pysnmp.compat.pysnmpxx
-- rfc1902 BITS construct implemented (as an ApplicationSyntax component
- whilst SMI defines it as one of possible Syntax values. Why it's defined
- so and what's the right implementation is still unclear to me).
-- Obsolete rfc1442 BIT STRING type implemented to handle outdated SNMP
- entities.
-- Make pysnmp.mapping.udp.role.manager attempting to resolve and cache default
- agent IP on instantiation for better peformance.

- better performance
-- initialValue of asn1.base.SimpleAsn1Object class objects may now be
- defined as method

- values rather then store a reference to the passed one
-- The tree-making facility of asn1.univ.ObjectIdentifier class reworked
- for better performance and clearer protocol
-- Bugfix initial value assignment of proto.rfc1157.RequestId &
- proto.rfc1905.RequestId classes to get much less repetitive values

-
-Changes to version 3.3.1
-------------------------
-
-- role.manager() now uses a user-specified callback function to
- verify received SNMP messages (this mostly addresses the out-of-order

- of compatibility sub-packages.
-
-Wed Dec 18 20:39:00 MSD 2002
-
-Changes to version 2.0.8
-------------------------
-
-- Convert examples/snmptable.py into examples/snmpwalk.py as the
- functionality of the former seems to closer mimic Net-SNMP's
- snmpwalk behavior.
-- The examples/snmpwalk.py fixed to include requested OID in the
- search range.
-
-Thu Nov 28 18:58:45 MSD 200

-
-- Split up BER decoders of asn1.INTEGER and asn1.UNSIGNED32 classes,
- derive asn1.COUNTER64 class from asn1.UNSIGNED32 for clarity.
-
-Tue Jun 25 8:34:39 MSD 2002
-
-Changes to version 2.0.4
-------------------------
-
-- Bugfix: the 'UPTIME' BER tag removed from asn1.BERHEADER.TAGS dictionary
- as it seems to duplicate the 'TIMETICKS' flag what accidentally causes
- pysnmp.asn1.TypeError exception.
-
-- The FLAGS dictionaries in various classes split up to CLASS and
- FORMAT ones to better follow BER specification.
-
-- The asn1.TAGGEDSEQUENCE class renamed to asn1.SEQUENCE as the latter

- updated by Ivan Begtin to run with the latest versions of PySNMP.
-
-- Oddly handled exceptions fixed to msession.multisession() class. Thanks
- to Chris Green for pointing out.
-
-- Inconsistent default return value fixed in multisession.retrieve() method.

-
-Fri Jun 22 08:55:39 MSK 2001
-
-Changes to version 1.6.3
-------------------------
-

- async_session() class structure change introduced in version 1.6.1.
- Thanks to Chris Green for a patch.
-
-- Also, a minor improvement has been made to examples/async_snmpget.py
- script -- now this script handles cases when remote SNMP agent returns

-
-Sat Jun 16 11:06:34 MSK 2001
-
-Changes to version 1.6.2
-------------------------
-
-- Missing "opaque" ASN.1 data type support committed to BER engine. Thanks
- to Carl Bray for providing a patch for it.
-
-Sat May 5 10:02:40 MSK 2001
-
-Changes to version 1.6.1
-------------------------
-
-- SNMP traps support has finally been completed. Example agent and manager
- along with some documentation included. Thanks to Ted Crossman for initial
- traps handling code.
-
-- The ber.decode_ipaddress() method renamed to ber.decode_ipaddr() to
- look as a counterpart to ber.encode_ipaddr(). Compatibility stub
- ber.encode_ipaddress() remained.
-
-- __doc__ strings improved throughout the code.
-
-- BER engine code slightly optimized for a little bit better performance.
-
-Thu Mar 22 08:37:02 MSK 2001
-
-Changes to version 1.5.5
-------------------------
-
-- In objid.objid(), the str variable name replaced with txt to avoid
- interferention with str() builtin function. Thanks to Kal Lin for
- pointing it out.
-
-- Bug fixed in ber.encode_an_integer() and ber.decode_integer() methods.
- They used to handle negative integers in a wrong way. Thanks to
- Tim Kwiatkowski <jtk@bluesky.ecas.ou.edu> who has fixed this problem
- by rewriting corresponding code from the scratch.
-
-Fri Mar 9 19:02:56 MSK 2001
-
-Changes to version 1.5.4
-------------------------
-
-- Package documentation added (still not quite complete).
-
-- The implementation of ber.encode_oid() method replaced with a more
- consistent one, as suggested by Jarkko Torppa. This also removes a
- limitation on the size of sub-Object IDs to be encoded.
-
-- Bug fixed in pysnmp.asynsnmp module -- import of pysnmp components was
- incorrect.
-
-- Bug fixed in multisession.retrieve() -- trick SNMP failures to empty
- responses.
-
-- The multisession.initialize() method added to facilitate class instances
- reuse.
-
-- In async_session.send_request(), the 'type' argument moved to the last
- position of the argument list and assigned the default value ('GETREQUEST').
- Unfortunately, this change may cause API incompatibility with the
- previous versions of PySNMP.
-
-- The async_session.open() method introduced as a result of splitting
- apart the async_session.__init__() method. This is done to let user
- of async_session class modify class instance private variables (port,
- iface) before they take effect. This change may also cause API
- incompatibility.
-
-- In async_session.__init__(), verify the callback_fun argument to make sure
- it's callable.
-
-- In message.__init__(), the 'version' argument moved to the very end of
- argument list, as it is never need to be modified. This change may cause
- API incompatibility.
-
-- In message.message() class, the 'decode_pdu' method renamed into
- 'decode_snmp_pdu' for a more consistent view. This change might not
- affect API compatibility.
-
-- In error.py, the 'BERError' class renamed into 'BEREngineError' while
- 'EngineError' one renamed into 'SNMPEngineError'. This change may cause
- API incompatibility.
-
-- In examples/*.py, the repr() builtin replaced with str() one as it looks
- more appropriate for printing.
-
-- In message.message() class, default values for 'type', 'encoded_oids'
- and 'encoded_vals' arguments in method encode_request() removed.
-
-- In message.message() class, default value for 'response' arguments in
- method decode_response() removed.
-
-- Receive buffers of SNMP engines enlarged up to maximum UDP datagram
- size (65536 bytes) to accomodate possible huge Object IDs' values
- in replies.
-
-- In multisession.retrieve(), delete the list of SNMP sessions on finish
- to save memory.
-
-- More explanation messages added to exception class instantiations.
-
-Tue Mar 6 18:06:56 MSK 2001
-
-Changes to version 1.5.3
-------------------------
-
-- Example code in README fixed. Thanks to Jeff Wong and Charles Kong for
- it pointing out.
-
-Fri Feb 23 12:28:59 MSK 2001
-
-Changes to version 1.5.2
-------------------------
-
-- The ber.encode_length() & ber.decode_length() methods modified to allocate
- up to three extra bytes for storing the length of BER encoded data item or
- raise an exception if data item is too large (>16MB).
-
-Sun Jan 21 13:56:41 MSK 2001
-
-Changes to version 1.5.1
-------------------------
-
-- The pysnmp module converted into pysnmp package. This change might
- cause an incompatibility with previous PySNMP versions, as it
- affects the way how user refers to pysnmp components.
-
-- All the PySNMP components converted to use class-based exceptions.
-
-- Comments to files converted to module __doc__ attribute.
-
-- The arguments to all objid.objid() methods as well as caller_fun argument
- to asynsnmp.async_session() class constructor becomes mandatory.
-
-- Fixed a bug caused an infinit loop in msession.dispatch(), thanks to
- Case Van Horsen for tracking it down.
-
-- The repr() function is used in examples/ scripts in place of %
- for a more consistent result types coercion.
-
-- The documentation has been taked out of the distribution for a re-work
- to get it reflecting 1.5.x changes.
-
-Thu Jan 11 11:42:13 MSK 2001
-
-Changes to version 1.4.2
-------------------------
-
-- Argument verification for the most of ber.ber() methods removed,
- as it looks exessive (user must follow API specs).
-
-- A bug is fixed in ber.decode_uptime(), thanks to Case Van Horsen for
- pointing it out.
-
-- The pysnmp.multisession() class has been re-written. The new version
- is based on Case Van Horsen's code. Most importantly, a bug which
- may cause some agents' responses get lost is fixed. Also, the new code
- makes more efficient use of sockets.
-
- From the pysnmp.multisession() API perspective, the
- multisession.encoded_pairs attribute has been removed from class
- definition, as it seems to be of no use. The multisession.retrieve()
- method should be used instead.
-
-Sat Dec 30 21:25:56 MSK 2000
-
-Changes to version 1.4.1
-------------------------
-
-It's a major rewrite meant to remove known oddities. Unfortunately,
-the API had to be changed a bit. The changes follow:
-
-- The SNMP errors reported by remote SNMP process are now indicated
- with the single exception (pysnmp.SNMP_ERROR) while the details
- are supplied along with the exception associated value (see docs).
-
-- Class constructor of pysnmp.session() class now accepts only a few
- arguments (agent, community). The rest of arguments (such as UDP port
- number, SNMP version etc.) are now available as the attributes of
- pysnmp.session() class instances (see docs).
-
-- Instances of pysnmp.session() class now have the 'iface' attribute
- which carries the address of local interface SNMP engine is to bind()
- to (see docs).
-
-- The pysnmp.bad_parameters exception has been replaced with
- pysnmp.bad_argument one as they seem to have very similar
- semantics.
-
-- Class constructor of pysnmp.multisession() class does not accept any
- arguments. SNMP engine parameters are now avaliable as class instances
- attributes (see the comment on pysnmp.session() class constructor above).
-
-- The asynsnmp.async_session() class now subclasses the pysnmp.session()
- class for the purpose of inheriting the API of pysnmp.session() class.
- Consequently, the asynsnmp.async_session() class constructor now accepts
- only a few [major] parameters. The minor ones should be referred as class
- instance attributes (see docs).
-
-- In async_session.handle_read(), when calling caller specified callback
- function, pass caller a reference to ourselves along with a reference to
- caller specific data. N.B. This leads to callback function's arguments list
- change what may cause incompatibility problem to the user of asyncsnmp()
- class!
-
-- The pysnmp.packet() class renamed to pysnmp.message() as it better represents
- its functionality. This also may cause some incompatibilities, though, I do
- not expect great many people explicitly refer to it from their applications.
-
-- Some comments in the code turned to objects' doc strings.
-
-- The examples/ stuff has been re-written for a more consistent view;
-
-- Module documentation added.
-
-Thu Nov 16 08:49:14 MSK 2000
-
-Changes to version 1.3.14
--------------------------
-
-- The license of the PySNMP package changed for a [more relaxed] BSD License;
-
-Fri Nov 3 19:20:02 MSK 2000
-
-Changes to version 1.3.13
--------------------------
-
-- Fixed wrong (non-tuple type) argument passed to socket.connect() method in
- session.open();
-
-Mon Sep 11 11:47:12 MSD 2000
-
-Changes to version 1.3.12
--------------------------
-
-- bug fixed in IP address encapsulation method (ber.encode_ipaddr()). Thanks
- to Jarkko Torppa for pointing it out!
-
-Fri Sep 8 11:51:34 MSD 2000
-
-Changes to version 1.3.11
--------------------------
-
-- the obsolete standard Python module 'rand' replaced with 'whrandom'
- in pysnmp.py for better portability. The random numbers generator is
- used for SNMP RequestID initialization. This change also enlarges the
- range of possible RequestID values from 0 to 0x7fffffff.
-
-- contribution/ directory introduced and Cayce Ullman's PySNMP based
- SNMP agent put there as an example of possible PySNMP use;
-
-Mon Sep 4 15:04:05 MSD 2000
-
-Changes to version 1.3.10
--------------------------
-
-- catch all possible SNMP related exceptions in async_session.handle_read()
- and convert them into (None, None) result as they would arrive out of
- context at that point (this is subject for further re-work);
-
-- a syntax error fixed in ber.encode_ipaddr() thanks to Stefan Sami-Soueiha
- who pointed this out;
-
-Fri Aug 4 09:50:37 MSD 2000
-
-Changes to version 1.3.9
-------------------------
-
-- initialize SNMP Request-Id to a random value (by means of rand.rand())
- in pysnmp.packet class constructor. This makes sense when user doesn't re-use
- pysnmp object for subsequent SNMP queries but re-creates new pysnmp
- object for every request;
-
-- convert possible pysnnp exceptions when decoding SNMP reply in
- async_session.handle_read() into (None, None) result as a pysnmp
- exception at that point would arrive out of context;
-
-- do not destroy pysnmp.session object in async_session.handle_read()
- method as pysnmp.session object may be re-used;
-
-Tue May 30 18:32:23 MSD 2000
-
-Changes to version 1.3.8
-------------------------
