                            Net::SNMP Changes

RELEASE 1.40 APR-26-1999

- All parameters for the object that used to be only configurable via an 
  object method can now be modified at object creation by passing named
  arguments to the constructor.
- The translate() and debug() methods were modified to require a boolean
  argument to enable or disable the feature.  This depreciates the toggle
  functionality they had previously.
- New method verify_ip() added that enables or disables the verification
  of the IP address and UDP port number on datagrams received by the object.
- Added support for decoding ASN.1 lengths encoded with 3 or 4 bytes. 
- Installation tests for the modules required by Net::SNMP and for basic 
  socket functionality were added to the distribution. 

RELEASE 1.30 MAR-17-1999

- Modified the OBJECT INDENTIFIER decode method to return a leading dot
  on all indentifiers if there was a leading dot on any OBJECT IDENTIFIER
  passed to the encode method. 
- Changed the address comparison used when receiving an UDP packet to just 
  include the port and address information in order to work around an AIX 
  problem.

RELEASE 1.20 NOV-06-1998

- Now use gensym() from the Symbol module to generate typeglob references 
  for socket handles, correcting a memory leak.
- All private methods renamed to Perl programming style recommendations. 

RELEASE 1.10 OCT-14-1998

- New method trap() for sending SNMP Trap-PDUs added.
- New method error_status() which retrieves the SNMP error-status contained
  in the last SNMP GetResponse-PDU added.
- Named arguments for the method session() are now validated.
- New export tags ":asn1", ":generictrap", and ":ALL" added.
- New exportable symbols for generic-trap types added. 
- A comma contained in an OCTET STRING no longer causes the decoded result 
  of a GetResponse-PDU to be converted to a hexadecimal representation if 
  translation is enabled.
- The control characters \n\r\t no longer trigger an OCTET STRING in a
  GetResponse-PDU to be converted to a hexadecimal representation if 
  translation is enabled.
