CHANGE LOG OF SNMP4J
====================

[2026-04-20] Version 3.10.0:

* Added: DefaultTcpTransportMapping.setGracefulShutdownTimeout(int gracefulShutdownTimeout) to allow
  setting the graceful shutdown timeout for TCP transport mappings. If >0 the TCP transport mapping will
  wait for the specified number of milliseconds for all pending messages to be sent and processed before closing
  first the oubound and then (after the timeout) the inbound connection.
* Changed: Added WorkerTask.join(long timeoutMillis) to allow waiting for a worker task to finish no longer than a
  specified timeout.
* Fixed: SNMP4JSettings.getThreadJoinTimeout() did not return the configured timeout (60000) at the time the default
  ThreadFactory for SNMP4JSettings was created. Instead, 0 was returned.
* Fixed: DefaultTcpTransportMappingTest.testReconnectUnderLoad did not close client TCP transport mappings after
  the test.

[2026-01-28] Version 3.9.7:

* Added: ConsoleLogFactory(PrintStream outStream, PrintStream errStream) constructor to allow
  customizing the output streams of the ConsoleLogFactory.
* Fixed: SocketTimeout.run() did leak SocketTimeout entries (causing a MemoryLeak) if concurrent requests
  were processed and socket timeout was >0. As an effect of this failure, the socket timeout was not working after
  the first concurrent request.
* Fixed: TLSTM.ServerThread.runDelegatedTasks did not directly process pending input from inNetBuffer
  (i.e., payload data) sent directly in the same TCP message as the TLS handshake after handshake was done.
* Fixed: TLSTM.ServerThread.processQueues() did not process fragmented TLS messages correctly when received during
  handshake phase or just while handshake was in progress.

[2025-07-03] Version 3.9.6:

* Fixed: UsmUser.isLocalizationGranted now returns always true too, if UsmUser returns OID
  SnmpConstants.usmNoAuthProtocol by getAuthenticationProtocol().
* Added: SNMP4JSetting.setEmptyContextEngineIdStrategy(Snmp4jConfirmedRequestEmptyContextEngineIdStrategy) to let
  SNMP4J replace the an empty contentEngineID in confirmed class ScopedPDUs with the authoritative engine ID
  either on outgoing (like SNMP4J did it always before version 3.9.6) or incoming PDUs (new feature). In addition,
  the replacement can be deactivated completely (to detect errors, for example) or activated for both directions.

[2025-06-24] Version 3.9.5:

* Fixed: UsmUser.isLocalized() did return false even if the localizationEngineID was empty (zero
  length OctetString).

[2025-05-14] Version 3.9.4:

* Improved: A DirectUserTarget with unlocalized passphrases can now be used in multiple threads concurrently
  because DirectUserTarget.setAuthoritativeEngineID is now synchronized.
* Improved: Implemented .clone() for subclasses of TransportIpAddress.
* Improved: Unit tests are using loopback address instead localhost to avoid permission and security issues.
* Fixed: JavaDoc issues.

[2025-05-08] Version 3.9.3:

* Added: DirectUserTarget(A address, OctetString securityName, AuthenticationProtocol authenticationProtocol,
  OctetString authenticationPassphrase, PrivacyProtocol privacyProtocol, OctetString privacyPassphrase) constructor
  to support non-localized direct user targets. This new usage of DirectUserTarget targets simplifies engine ID
  discovery which is only allowed for DirectUserTarget constructed using this an empty authoritative engine ID
  if USM.isEngineDiscoveryEnabled() returns true for the used USM instance.
  Using non-localized DirectUserTarget instances helps to communicate with different passphrases for same security
  names but different target addresses which is not possible using users added to the an USM.
* Added: TargetBuilder.DirectUserBuilder.deferLocalizationUntilFirstUsage() to the fluent interface in order to
  support creation of non-localized DirectUserTarget using the fluent interface as well.
* Fixed: Auth and priv keys/passphrases created by TargetBuilder are now log protected too (using SecretOctetString).
* Fixed: Snmp.setLocalizedUserCredentials now uses SecretOctetString for auth and priv keys as well.
* Updated: (D)TLS test certificates.

[2025-04-28] Version 3.9.2:

* Added: MPv3ScopedPDUExtractor.validatePreparedPDU(..) which allows custom validation of an extracted ScopedPDU
  to return appropriate error states (as required).

[2025-03-27] Version 3.9.1:

* Fixed: TransportSateReference not set properly by TLSTM causing error 1602 when receiving TLS 1.3 notifications
  and sender closes connection just before notification is fully dispatched by SNMP4J.
* Fixed: USM.getUser(..) did not return an existing noAuthNoPriv user for incoming responses if that user
  had a localization grant of "outgoing" only, although a noAuthNoPriv user does not need to be localized, because
  it does not have any keys.
* Changed: UsmUser.isLocalizationGranted(..) returns now true for any noAuthNoPriv user regardless of the provided
  required localization grant and regardless of its current grant.

[2025-01-03] Version 3.9.0:

* Changed: USM and MPv3 method interfaces to support testing and debugging of SNMPv3 USM based
  communication easier.
* Added: Readonly retrieval of a user with a new Usm.getUser(..) method that optionally blocks any localization.
* Added: MPv3ScopedPDUExtractor interface for better modularization of the SNMPv3 message processing.
* Added: SnmpBuilder.addSecurityProtocol(SecurityProtocol) and SecurityProtocols.SecurityProtocolSet.any.
* Improved: Changed log level of Snmp class for the log message "Received response that cannot be matched to any
  outstanding request" from WARN to INFO.
* Improved: Extended ThreadFactory with newThread(Runnable r) method.

[2024-04-27] Version 3.8.2:

* Changed: Deprecated USM.addUser methods with userName parameter, because in SNMPv3 USM
  userName should be identical to securityName.
* Fixed: Added missing explicit constructors to fix module exports.
* Fixed: Usm.addUser(..) methods since 3.8.0 could have added localized UsmUserEntry without
  a localized UsmUser. As a consequence on first usage of the UsmUserEntry, the UsmUser was localized
  once again, although that would not have been necessary. It worked though, but caused additional
  CPU usage.
* Fixed: When sending an encrypted message using USM.generateResponseMessage with incorrect
  USM authentication or privacy keys could snmpVersionAndMP in an unhandled IllegalArgumentException which is now
  handled correctly by returning SnmpConstants.SNMPv3_USM_ENCRYPTION_ERROR.

[2024-04-23] Version 3.8.1:

* Added: UsmUser.setLocalizationGrant to modify the localisation grant of an existing UsmUser
  unless it has been localized already.
* Added: UsmUser constructor with localizationEngineID parameter and LocalizationGrant to easier
  support flexible creation of USM user.
* Updated: Certificates for (D)TLS unit tests.
* Fixed: In USM.addUser with localized UsmUser but given 'null' engineID the localized authentication
  key and privacy key were not added.

[2024-04-02] Version 3.8.0:

* Fixed: JavaLogAdapter.getEffectiveLogLevel() did not return the effective log level from the
  nearest parent.
* Fixed: Incomplete table retrieval for second and following rows if table has columns without any
  values, number of columns is greater than the number of rows, and maxColsPerPDU is set to 1
  and maxRepetitions is set to 1..rowsInTable-1 too.
* Changed: NoLogger.getName() now returns "#NoLogger" and ConsoleLogAdater.getName() returns
  "#ConsoleLog" instead of an empty string to fix ambiguous logger names.
* Added: By which USM operations, non-localized UsmUser instances are be localized by USM can be
  fine grained controlled now. The UsmUser has an attribute LocalizationGrant that can be set to
  never, incoming, outgoing and any. By setting it to "outgoing", only for outgoing messages,
  that user can be localized automatically (i.e., if USM.isEngineDiscoveryEnabled() is true) for
  outgoing messages only.
* Improved: General usage of Object.notifyAll() instead of Object.notify() to avoid deadlocks
  with three or more cross locked instances.

[2024-01-25] Version 3.7.8:

* Fixed: Possible ConcurrentModificationException in Snmp class when TransportMappings are added
  or removed while new messages are sent.
* Fixed: ConcurrentModificationException while TreeUtils.walk if TreeListener.next is being called
  concurrently to a client processing the walk snmpVersionAndMP already.
* Improved: (D)TLS test certificates renewed and fixed validity setting (10 years).

[2023-03-14] Version 3.7.7:

* Fixed: Possible busy looping on TLSTM write key when command responder does not accept
  sender's certificate but sender has finished handshaking already. Sender is not able to
  send payload wrapped into outNetBuffer to network when SSLEngine generated a CLOSE PDU
  without consuming bytes from the outAppBuffer.

[2023-03-13] Version 3.7.6:

* Fixed: Possible busy looping on TLSTM write key when command responder does not accept
  sender's certificate but sender has finished handshaking already. Sender is not able to
  send payload wrapped into outNetBuffer to network due to a race condition with the
  CLOSE PDU received from the agent that does not produce any application level bytes.

[2023-03-06] Version 3.7.5:

* Fixed: TLSTM.readMessage did not read messages in the incoming net buffer all at-once
  when there are more than one TLS message sent in a single TCP packet.
* Fixed: SnmpConstants.snmp4jStatsRequestWaitTime incorrectly computed if request needs an
  engine ID discovery.
* Improved: Possible race condition in AbstractTransportServerThread.doServer, when agent response is returned
  faster than SNMP4J activates OP_READ key selector after the confirmed message sending.
  This issue has never been seen to be relevant in practise because Java NIO needs to report an incorrect 0
  key update count then.
* Added: ResponseEventFactory now allows central processing of responses and their requests.
* Improved: MPv3.Cache logging.
* Improved: Request and response debug logging including request duration in nanoseconds.
* Improved: A WARN log will be emitted if the active LogFactory is overwritten (reset) by a new one
  using LogFactory.setFactory.

[2022-11-11] Version 3.7.4:

* Added [AS-38]: TransportMapping.getMaxOutboundMessageSize to allow specifying an upper limit for
  outgoing messages per TransportMapping. Before this version, the TransportMapping.getMaxInboundMessageSize
  was used in most cases to limit the outbound traffic. Although, the implementation of the new
  outbound limit defaults to the inbound limit, the outbound limit is now used to limit the
  maximum message size in CommandResponderEvent provided by the CommandListener.processPdu interface
  in any case.
* Added: Unit test for TableUtils that tests sparse table functionality with missing columns and
  heavily changing rows/column availability in simulated agent during retrieval.
* Improved: TableEvent instances for rows fully received by the agent, but last column is not
  returned by the agent (i.e., a sparse table with missing last column) are now returned immediately,
  if TableUtils detect, that the last column is empty. Before, all rows were cached until the whole
  table was fully retrieved in this case.
* Added: TableUtils.setRowLimit to limit the total rows returned by TableUtils.getTable(..).
  Default is "no limit" (0) as before.
* Fixed: JavaDoc gif image links in package HTML files (moved JavaDoc gifs to src/main/javadoc).

[2022-10-08] Version 3.7.3:

* Fixed: Java 9 API compatibility by adding maven.compiler.release option the maven-compiler-plugin.

[2022-10-04] Version 3.7.2:

* Improved: Closed TLS/TCP/Unix transport mappings will be removed from pending queue (see 3.7.1)
  only if there are no pending messages for this connection entry left. This check ensures that
  no pending messages are lost even if the connection has been closed accidentally.
* Fixed: MessageDispatcherImpl no longer prints stack trace of IOExceptions on all log levels, instead
  stack traces are only printed if DEBUG level is enabled.

[2022-09-20] Version 3.7.1:

* Fixed: Closed TLS/TCP/Unix transport mappings could prevent
  AbstractTransportServerThread.processPending to send any response message to newly created
  connections.
* Fixed: UnixDomainAddress parsing failed in GenericAddress due to wrong class name lookup.
* Fixed: Updated (D)TLS unit test certificates.
* Added: TransportMappings.registerTransportMapping and .unregisterTransportMapping to manually
  register and unregister TransportMappings to the TransportMappings singleton, for to easily
  extending SNMP4J with your own TransportMapping instances.
* Added: GenericAddress.newLocalAddress(String transportDomainPrefix) method has been added
  to create easily new local addresses from an address type string.

[2022-05-12] Version 3.7.0:

* Improved: Refactored org.snmp4j.transport to support unix domain socket transports and to reduce
  redundant code and improve performance and code quality.
* Added: AbstractConnectionOrientedTransportMapping.
* Changed: Replaced AbstractTcpServerThread by AbstractTransportServerThread.
* Fixed: Possible busy loop on writable key if outAppBuffer is there for a socket entry (= remote
  address) but contains no data to be sent.
* Fixed: Concurrent reconnect (TCP,TLS) to use existing connect instead of always replacing it by
  new connection.
* Improved: Snmp.PendingRequest.run() will no longer rethrow RuntimeExceptions and Errors occurring
  while processing retries to make retry handling resilient against exceptions thrown in
  ResponseListener.onResponse() implementations.
* Fixed: TLS session not closed if inbound is done by TLS 1.3 remote (i.e., because of a TLS version
  mismatch).
* Improved: JavaDoc of fluent interface.

[2022-04-12] Version 3.6.7:

* Fixed: Possible race condition in Snmp.send() which could return null as ResponseEvent if the response
  was received shortly after the request timed out.
* Fixed: TargetBuilder.build() to use version and PduBuilder.build() to use variable bindings.

[2022-03-21] Version 3.6.6:

* Improved: TLS handshaking "key is writable" looping when waiting for agent handshake response is now
  suppressed.

[2022-03-14] Version 3.6.5:

* Added: TLS contextEngineID discovery cache to avoid rediscovery of context engine IDs for an address
  using RFC 5343 mechanism as long as the TLS connection to that address remains open.
* Fixed [SFJ-245]: Possible Deadlock in Snmp.PendingRequest.resendRequest on behalf of (D)TLS context engine ID
  discovery.
* Fixed: Concurrent modification Exception when iterating over results of TreeUtils.walk when agent returns
  noSuchName error status on SNMPv1 request.
* Improved: Invalid as signed encoded 9 byte 64bit unsigned integer 64bit values will not be decoded by
  BER.decodeUnsignedInt64 anymore. Instead invalid length exception is thrown.

[2021-12-15] Version 3.6.4:

* Fixed: Possible busy looping for ready read and write keys in TLSTM caused by half-closed TLS connections and
  Java runtimes that report NEED_WRAP status from SSLEngine instead of FINISHED after processing CLOSED TLS warnings
  (i.e., after half-closing the connection).
* Fixed: Possible write key busy looping in TLSTM caused when NEED_TASK is returned by SSLEngine.wrap on
  writing a queued message.
* Fixed: Bug in DTLSTM.HandshakeTask.run() which caused DTLSTM handshake not to finish within timeout causing
  connect to fail or to be slow.
* Fixed: Possible race condition in AbstractSocketEntry.nextBusyLoop.
* Improved: JavaDoc.

[2021-12-04] Version 3.6.3:

* Fixed: Clean TLS session closing with TLSTM.SocketEntry.closeSession() (regression since 3.0.6) and improved
  INFO logging when session is closed.
* Fixed: NPE in DefaultTlsTmSecurityCallback if local fingerprint is null.
* Fixed: Possible NPE when sending TLS message without tmStateReference.
* Fixed: Deprecated warnings regarding X500 certificates getSubjectDN and getIssuerDN.
* Fixed: Corrected accepted issuer DN for sendMessageWithPDUDnsCertPathVerification test.
* Added: UsmUserEntry.setOwnerReference and UsmUserEntry.getOwnerReference to fix [AS-24].
* Added: Unit test TLSTMTest.testCloseSession() to test session close and correct TransportStateEvent firing.
* Added: UsmUserEntry.setOwnerReference(Object) and UsmUserEntry.getOwnerReference(Object) to mark the origin
  of UsmUserEntry instances during creation and event processing to avoid cyclic event processing.
* Improved: Removed busy wait in DTLSTM.SocketEntry.
* Improved: Transport state event sending for closed connections that are closed via TLS messages but not (yet)
  via closed TCP connections.

[2021-11-23] Version 3.6.2:

* Fixed: Split up TLSTM unit test in two independent tests for testing with and without certificate revocation
  checks enabled or not.

[2021-11-15] Version 3.6.1:

* Fixed [SFJ-244]: Removed secret information (keys and passwords) from any log output (by default). To re-activate
  log output, use SNMP4JSettings.setSecretLoggingEnabled(true).
* Added: Default non-printable character support for OctetString.toString().
* Added: Global OctetString non-printable character escaping using
  SNMP4JSettings.setDefaultNonPrintableEscapeCharacter(Character).
* Improved: USM.addUser without localEngineID parameter now uses the localisation engine ID of the provided
  UsmUser (if the user is localized) instead using an empty engine ID (which had broken the user credentials
  if used so far).

[2021-11-07] Version 3.6.0:

* Added [SFJ-243]: Add OSCP/CRL X500 certificate revocation checking support to SNMP4J (D)TLS. Use
  System.setProperty("com.sun.net.ssl.checkRevocation", "true");
  Security.setProperty("ocsp.enable", "true");
  to activate OSCP and use TLSTM.setX09CertificateRevocationListURI(..) to activate CRL checking.
* Added: Support for SHA384 and 512 to TLSTMUtil.getFingerprint(X509Certificate cert).
* Fixed: TransportMapping setPriority and setThreadName.
* Fixed: Restart of respawned threads by ThreadPool.

[2021-05-26] Version 3.5.1:

* Update: VersionInfo.

[2021-05-26] Version 3.5.0:

* Fixed [SFJ-236]: TableUtils could enter endless loop if agent returns rows not within lexicographic order
  and looping row hits first row in row cache. That could happen only if the agent returns a row again,
  that was returned already before.
* Fixed: OctetString.fromString(hexString64,16) return 00 as last byte although the 64 byte long source string
  has a different value.
* Fixed [SFJ-238]: Sending a zero size message to DefaultTcpTransportMapping and TLSTM server stops accepting
  new connections.
* Fixed: TLS command sending fails with exception when security name is not set.
* Fixed: NPE on empty security name (TLS incoming).
* Fixed: Possible IndexOutOfBoundsException in OctetString
* Changed: Moved serverEnabled flag from DefaultTcpTransportMapping to TcpTransportMapping and made it protected.
* Improved [SFJ-240]: Moved org.snmp4j.agent.cfg package with engine ID and boots counter persistence to from
  SNMP4J-Agent to SNMP4J.
* Improved: Added support in USM, TSM and SNMPv3SecurityModel for multiple agents per Java process.
* Added [SFJ-237]: Simplify creating Snmp instances, Targets, and PDUs with fluent builder classes in new
  org.snmp4j.fluent package.
* Added: DictionaryOIDTextFormat and PDU.get(String ...)

[2020-11-13] Version 3.4.4:

* Fixed [SFJ-235]: DefaultTcpTransportMapping and TLSTM leak sockets on a reconnect with race condition.
* Added: AbstractTransportMapping.suspendAddress to suspend sending of messages to a specified address
  on behalf of TransportMapping.sendMessage.
* Added: AbstractTransportMapping.resumeAddress to resume sending of messages to a specified address
  on behalf of TransportMapping.sendMessage which also (re)opens a connection to that address for connection
  oriented transport mappings if there is no such connection active yet.
* Added: AbstractTransportMapping.handleDroppedMessageToSend to overwrite in a subclass to handle suspended
  messages (if needed).

[2020-09-21] Version 3.4.3:

* Fixed: Possible endless wait in TreeUtils.walk and .getSubtree if exception occurs before actually sending
  the first SNMP request.
* Fixed [SFJ-231]: TcpTransportMappings leaked socket entries on IOExceptions like BrokenPipe.
* Updated: Maven-Plugin dependencies.

[2020-06-29] Version 3.4.2:

* Improved: Made Snmp.NotificationDispatcher public and added factory method. This allows to add/extend
  NotificationDispatcher with custom implementations.

[2020-05-20] Version 3.4.1:

* Fixed [SFJ-224]: MPv3.Header.decodeBER throws exception on PDU with long numeric BER value encoding and
  if BER.isCheckSequenceLength() is true.
* Added: SecurityProtocols_all.properties.
* Added: OctetString.fromIndex static method.
* Added: OID.subOID to compute OID sub-sequences.
* Fixed [SFJ-228]: DHOperations.deriveKeyPBKDF2 to fix DH kickstart in SNMP4J-Agent/SNMP4J-CLT.
* Added: DHGroups to provide DH group definitions; DHParameters.DEFAULT; Added DHOperationsTest.
* Enhanced: JavaLogFactory regarding log-level manipulation and log handler management.
* Added: OctetString.fromCharArray methods.
* Updated: Copyright header.

[2020-03-05] Version 3.4.0:

* Added [SFJ-216]: Added support for USM localised keys directly in DirectUserTarget which allows sending request
  and receiving their responses without previously adding the USM user to the USM model.
  Instead the new class DirectUserTarget can be used to fully specify a SNMPv3 USM user target.
* Added: SecurityProtocols.getSecurityProtocolOIDs, Snmnp.setLocalizedUserCredentials, Snmp.createLocalizedUsmUserEntry
  methods to better support SFJ-216.
* Fixed SFJ-196: UsmUser got storage type from existing entry when the same user is loaded from persistent
  storage which is incorrect for storage types less than permanent(4).
* Added: SecurityProtocols.getSecurityProtocolOIDs method.
* Added: OctetString.fromString to create null-safe an OctetString object from a Java String.
* Changed: OctetString.from*** methods are now null-safe, i.e. those methods return null instead of trowing a
  NullPointerException if the provided value is null.

[2019-12-06] Version 3.3.3:

* Fixed [SFJ-213]: TimeTicks.setValue does not parse formatted strings without "days" correctly.

[2019-11-05] Version 3.3.2:

* Fixed [SFJ-211]: DTLS certificate authentication fails in server mode if there is no fingerprint matching.
* Fixed [SFJ-212]: (D)TLS SecurityNameMapping provides a fallback security name for non-standard mappings
  which is not used.
* Changed: DTLSTM and TLSTM now use DtlsAddress and TlsAddress for server and incoming addresses only.

[2019-08-13] Version 3.3.1:

* Fixed: TLSTMExtendedTrustManager and TrustManager did not allow to fall back to Java Runtime certificate
  path validation if provided security callback was not configured for validation.
* Fixed: Removed debug output from TLSTMTest.

[2019-08-12] Version 3.3.0:

* SECURITY: Due to necessary changes for SFJ-207, several security issues related to TLSTM and DTLSTM only
  in SNMP4J 3.2.2 and 2.7.0 (and earlier respectively) have been identified and fixed:
  - In previous releases, the connection establishment was not interrupted (canceled) on client and server side
  if a fingerprint match of the provided certificate failed but the certificate was trusted by the Java Runtime.
  - In addition, the fingerprint match worked on CA certificates too although this matching on CA level is not
  mentioned in RFC6353. It has been removed in 3.3.0 and now a connection cannot be established if a fingerprint
  is given but it does not match the provided certificate.
  - In previous versions, if the identity specified in the security callback did not match the identity of
  the certificate (i.e. subjectDN name), then connection could be still established if the Java Runtime trusted
  the certificate. In SNMP4J 3.3.0 (and SNMP4J 2.8.0) later the connection will not be established if a mismatch
  occurred.
* Fixed [SFJ-207]: SNMP4J-Agent NotificationOriginatorImpl does not use snmpTlsAddrTable when sending TLS
  notifications.
* Added: TlsX509CertifiedTarget which can specify a TlsTmSecurityCallback<X509Certificate> to override the security
  callback defined at TLSTM or DTLSTM level as required to support RFC6353 regarding sending of (D)TLS messages
  based on SNMP-TARGET-MIB.
* Improved [SFJ-208]: Performance of AuthGeneric.passwordToKey can be improved by using 1MB HMAC buffer instead
  of 64 bytes.
* Improved [SFJ-209]: Improve MPv3Cache performance for high load multi-threaded message processing. Cache now
  scales with O(2) instead O(n) where n is the number of concurrently pending requests.

[2019-07-13] Version 3.2.2:

* Fixed [SFJ-206]: DefaultPDUFactory constructor does not initialise contextEngineID which could lead to a NPE.
* Fixed: Possible NPE when getting a localized user with engine ID after trying to get the non-localized user
  (with zero length engine ID). See also: https://forum.snmp.app/t/npe-at-usm-addlocalizedusmuserentry/104

[2019-06-20] Version 3.2.1:

* Fixed [SFJ-205]: SNMP4J 3.2.0 does not handle timeout and retries correctly because the new Target.duplicate
  method introduced in 3.2.0 does not copy all necessary fields like timeout and retries.
* Fixed: Timeout settings for TLSTMTest.sendMessageWithPDU and .sendMessagesWithPDU.
* Added: TLSv1.3 support in SnmpConfigurator's ArgumentParser.

[2019-05-31] Version 3.2.0:

* Fixed [SFJ-202]: CertifiedTarget for SNMPv3 TLS notifications not handled in NotificationOriginatorImpl.
  This includes fixes to the TlsTmMib regarding (D)TLS target resolving as well as fixes to the SNMP4J
  MessageDispatcher and TransportMappings in order to be able to use a "client mode" transport mapping
  with a different source port than the "server" mode TLS transport mapping that acts as command responder.
* Added: TransportMapping.isAddressSupported(Address addressType, boolean exactMatch) to let a TransportMapping
  decide if a Address class is supported or not. This is necessary to exclude TcpAddress from a TLSTM if
  exact match is enabled, for example. (This method is used by MessageDispatcherImpl).
* Added: TransportMapping.getSupportedTransportType() to being able to distinguish between sending and receiving
  transport mappings. By default the TransportType.any is returned. For TransportMappings DefaultTcpTransportMapping,
  TLSTM, and DTLSTM, 'any' is only returned if "server" is enabled, otherwise 'sender' is returned.
* Added: Address.isTransportCompatible(Class<?> other) to allow to exclude superclasses from being compatible
  regarding TransportMapping usage with the implementing class. This is necessary, for example for TlsAddress and
  DtlsAddress to exclude them from usage on TransportMappings that primarily support ony Tcp or Udp.
* Changed: MessageDispatcherImpl now distinguishes between TransportMappings that can be used to send messages
  (command generator/notification generator) and those that can be used to receive messages (command responder
  application).
* Changed: MessageDispatcher.getTransport(A destAddress) is now deprecated and replaced by
  getTransport(A destAddress, TransportType transportType) in order to be able to select the correct TransportMapping
  for the requested SNMP application type (command responder -> 'receiver' or command generator -> 'sender').
  The deprecated method searches for 'receiver' first and will return a 'sender' if no receiver was found.
* Fixed: The counter events created for the SnmpTlsTmMib 'snmpTsmUnknownPrefixes' and 'snmpTsmInvalidPrefixes'
  have been changed to better match their specification.

[2019-03-12] Version 3.1.0:

* Fixed [SFJ-193]: Exceptions during SSLContext initialisation are logged, but no special handling of each kind of
  exception was possible.
* Improved: Introduced Address class parameter to Target interface.
* Fixed: CommandResponder interface now uses parameterised CommandResponderEvent.
* Improved: Generics usage.
* Fixed: Removed race condition in reconnect tcp test.
* Added: TSM security model to SecurityModels.properties.

[2018-11-24] Version 3.0.6:

* Fixed [SFJ-189]: Race condition in ThreadPool which could block task execution.
* Fixed [SFJ-190]: DefaultUdpTransportMapping throws exception and blocks ListenThread shutdown on
  incoming packet after shutdown.
* Fixed [SFJ-191]: TLSTM does not reassemble TLS fragments sent as more than one TCP packet correctly
  (i.e. SSLEngine BUFFER_UNDERFLOW not handled correctly)
* Fixed [SFJ-192]: TLSTM is not able to parse fragmented TLS packets if two or more fragments are received
  in one TCP packet.
* Improved: Removed generics warnings and added missing serializeVersionUIDs.

[2018-10-23] Version 3.0.5:

* Fixed [SFJ-186]: Regression: TLS message sending is broken in version 3.0.0 to 3.0.4.
* Fixed [SFJ-182]: TLSTM does not send/receive SNMP messages longer than 16379 bytes.
* Improved [SFJ-184]: Add support for more than one address class per TransportMapping by new method
  getSupportedAddressClasses(). MessageDispatcherImpl now maps those transport mappings with more than one
  supported address class too. Which transport mapping is used, depends on the time of the registration at the
  MessageDispatcher. Earlier registered mappings take precedence.

[2018-10-15] Version 3.0.4:

* Fixed [SFJ-180]: Possible NullPointerExceptions in TLSTM connect (socketCleaner) and close.

[2018-10-15] Version 3.0.3:

* Fixed [SFJ-183]: DTLS command responder is not able to return SNMPv3 (payload) response PDU because
  the destination address from the command generator is not correctly matched with the established DTLS session
  as required by RFC 6353 section 5.1.1.
* Improved: DTLS/TLS debug logging.

[2018-10-10] Version 3.0.2:

* Fixed: Argument parser throws error when parsing a command format with selectCommand that has no
  parameters.

  Its syntax and command support is similar to SNMP4J-CLT which provides MIB, USM user management,
  and Diffie Hellman operations in addition.
* Changed: Removed SSH related transport mapping classes.

[2018-04-18] Version 2.6.3:

* Fixed [SFJ-171]: Calling Snmp.close() on a Snmp instance without listeners leaks sockets.

  protocols with it.

[2018-01-05] Version 2.5.11:

* Improved [SFJ-162]: TableUtils now waits until three (3) primary lexicographic ordering errors
  occurred and returns all rows until then. Rows that contain cell values based on incorrectly
  order data will be returned now with status TableEvent.STATUS_WRONG_ORDER. That state will be also
  set in the finishing TableEvent then.

[2018-01-05] Version 2.5.10:

* Fixed [SFJ-161]: TableUtils does not check for lexicographic ordering in SNMP4J 2.5.9 which could
  cause endless looping with incorrectly implemented agents. The ordering checking can be now disabled
  but is enabled by default.

  to throw an exception if the empty OCTET STRING is at the end of the underlying BER packet. This
  was a regression in version 2.5.7.

[2017-08-15] Version 2.5.7:

* Fixed [SFJ-147]: Possible deadlock in ThreadPool if it is stopped while being completely busy.
* Fixed [SFJ-143]: TableUtils may return two or more TableEvents for the same row index if
  TableUtils is configured to request less columns in a PDU than provided for table retrieval and
  the agent returns the later sent columns earlier than the first sent.

* Added: BER BigInteger encoding and decoding necessary to decode/encode Diffie-Hellman parameters.
* Added: TLSTMExtendedTrustManager and corresponding Factory class.
* Fixed: Source object for ResponseEvents propagated from the ReportHandler of Snmp
  (was ReportHandler is now the Snmp class).

[2014-07-31] Version 2.3.1:

* Fixed: Missing engineID update in UsmMIB.setUsers if users contain localized users.
* Fixed: Method processPending of DefaultTcpTransportMapping did not process all pending
  keys in one go, instead the first was processed several times which could lead to
  a blocked connection when another connection could not proceed (e.g. because of a half
  closed TCP connection).

  PDUs had to be splitted because of too much columns.

[2008-03-27] Version 1.9.1b:

* Fixed: Transport not copied in Snmp.PendingRequest
  which could cause wrong transport usage when processing
  retries.

[2008-03-25] Version 1.9.1a:

* Fixed: Async request processing for broadcasts (regression
  bug in 1.9.1 which prevented multiple responses for a
  single async request).

[2008-03-18] Version 1.9.1:

* Improved: OID parsing from string now supports embedded
  string to OID conversion, for example the following OIDs
  are equal:
    a = new OID("1.3.6.2.1.5.'hal.'.'''.'lo'.1");
    b = new OID("1.3.6.2.1.5.104.97.108.46.39.108.111.1");
* Improved: Added factory pattern for creating PDU for
  incoming messages parsed by message processing models.
* Fixed: Null LogLevel returned by JavaLogAdapter.getLogLevel.
* Fixed: With async request processing and retry>0 there
  could have been a race condition where a response event
  had been generated twice for a request.
* Fixed: ArgumentParser option multi parameter support
  which failed to parse options like "-option param1 param2"
  correctly.
* Changed: MessageDispatcherImpl can now be used to register
  more than one transport mapping per address class (UDP/TCP).
  Nevertheless, only the first registered one will be used
  for sending SNMP messages if no specific transport mapping
  is given.
* Improved: Target is cloned when used internally by Snmp
  instance to avoid errors through concurrent target usage.

[2008-01-31] Version 1.9:

* Improved: PDU.add(VariableBinding) no longer clones
  VariableBindings while adding it if the contained variable
  is dynamic. Instead VariableBinding.setVariable clones
  the set variable always as well the oid set by setOid(OID).
* Improved: Added factories for thread and timer instances
  configurable through SNMP4JSettings class.
* Improved: Created interfaces for ThreadPool (WorkerPool)
  and thread of execution (WorkerTask) as well as Timer
  (CommonTimer) for better Java EE intergration.
* Added: ArgumentParser for simple command line parsing.
* Fixed: Local engine ID could not be set for simple PDU
  request for the command line tool.

[2007-11-06] Version 1.9 RC2:

* Fixed: Walk modus of console example.
* Added: -Ocs and -Ods to create and dump subtree
  snapshot files.

[2007-10-18] Version 1.9 RC1:

* Fixed: LogFactory.getLogFactory() returned null if
  log factory has not been initialized yet. Now
  a new instance of LogFactory is returned instead.
* Fixed: Typo in Snmp JavaDoc (getPdu() -> getPDU()).
* Added: Hook-up method in DefaultTCPTransportMapping
  to allow setting socket options by extending the
  class and overwriting the setSocketOptions method.
* Added: TripleDES-EDE privacy protocol implementation.
* Changed: SecurityProtocol interface to allow dynamic
  key extension.
* Fixed: Race condition in DefaultTCPTransportMapping.

[2007-05-04] Version 1.8.2:

* Fixed: Null.clone() did not copy/preserve syntax.
* Fixed: MPv3.addEngineID added engine ID to the local cache
  although if it matched the local engine ID.

[2007-04-23] Version 1.8.1a:

* Fixed: No error was reported by TableUtils when sending
  of a request failed.
* Fixed: MPv3.removeEngineID fired "engine ID added"
  event.

[2007-03-12] Version 1.8.1:

* Fixed: Race condition in DefaultTCPTransportMapping
  that could cause message loss because messages are
  accidentially never send (because at the same time
  another message came in).
* Improved: Snmp.addNotificationListener(..) sets the
  connection timeout to 0 for TCP transport mappings.
* Fixed: Snmp.removeNotificationListener(..) caused
  memory leak because it did not deregister the
  notification transport mapping properly.
* Fixed/Improved: Several code cosmetics and Serializable
  issues.
* Improved: REPORT messages are now sent over the same
  transport mapping as the message reported on has been
  received. This improves firewall interoperability.

[2007-02-01] Version 1.8:

* Fixed: Race condition with sync requests in Snmp.send
  that could cause a deadlock.
* Fixed: Added missing serialVersionUIDs.
* Changed: PduHandleCallback.pduHandleAssigned(..) to
  use Object as type of the PDU reference.

[2007-01-08] Version 1.8 RC1:

* Changed: Variable is now an interface and the former
  abstract class implementation is now moved to
  AbstractVariable. Serialized Variables from 1.7.x
  or earliers released can be deserialized with 1.8
  because the Variable interface defines the same
  serialVersionUID as the former Variable abstract class.
* Fixed: MessageDispatcherImpl.getMessageProcessingModel
  no longer throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
  when the requested model is not known.
* Added: GenericAddress constants for the default address
  types "udp", "tcp", and "ip".
* Fixed: OctetString.fromSubIndex for implied length values.
* Added: Constants for default command responder and
  notification receiver ports in SnmpConstants class.
* Added: Append constructor for OID class, to facilitate
  creating an instance OID from a class OID and an index
  OID.
* Improved: DefaultTcpTransportMapping can now also
  reconnect if its connection is in state "unconnected".
* Fixed: OctetString.startsWith did not work if prefix
  length did not match the string's length.
* Added: Option (-m) to set maxMessageResponseSize for
  SNMPv3 requests in console example.
* Improved: Clarified and implemented TODOs left from
  earlier versions.
* Fixed: IllegalStateException seldom occured in a race
  condition while waiting for a sync response in
  Snmp.send(..) or when canceled an async response while
  a retry was started.
* Improved: Performance of message sending and receiving
  due to less (narrow) synchronization.
* Added: -l option to SnmpRequest console example to
  allow setting the local engine ID to avoid engine ID
  conflicts.
* Added: -b option to set the engine boots counter for the
  console example (SnmpRequest).
* Added: TreeUtils to conveniently walk sub-trees.
* Fixed: Bug in LogLevel class causing incorrect log levels
  to be used in some cases when converting from a levels
  string representation.
* Improved: JavaLogAdapter DEBUG level from SNMP4J (Log4J)
  now maps to FINE in Java logging.
* Added: LogFactory can now be configured through the
  system property "snmp4j.LogFactory" with the factories
  class name.
* Added: LogProxy for implementing late logger binding.
* Changed: BERSerializable no longer extends Serializable.
* Added: Security check for transport not listening when
  sending confirmed PDU.

[2006-10-07] Version 1.7.6a:

* Fixed: Possible deadlock in ThreadPool when
  stopping a busy thread pool.

* Added: SMIConstants.SYNTAX_BITS to map to
  SMIConstants.SYNTAX_OCTET_STRING.
* Added: TableUtils.destroyRow(..).
* Fixed: Opaque.clone() was missing.

[2006-09-04] Version 1.7.5:

* Changed: VariableBinding(OID, Variable) now checks OID
  for not being null.
* Fixed: MessageDispatcherImpl.addAuthenticationFailureListener
  did not work.
* Fixed: OctetString.split(OctetString, OctetString).

[2006-08-19] Version 1.7.4a:

* Fixed: Concurrent access to the internal server
  thread during close() calls does no longer cause
  a NullPointerException. The synchronization that
  caused a deadlock in 1.7.4 has been removed again.
* Added: Support for the obsolete SMI type BIT STRING
  for compatibility with very old SNMPv2 draft
  implementations. In order to activate support for it
  call SNMP4JSettings.setExtensibilityEnabled(true).
  See also the org.snmp4j.smi.BitString class.

[2006-08-03] Version 1.7.3:

* Added: SnmpConstants.getTrapOID to convert a v1 trap info
  to a v2/v3 notification OID.
* Improved: PDU and PDUv1 now check against setting a wrong
  PDU type for that PDU class (i.e. V1TRAP is not allowed
  for PDU and ScopedPDU and NOTIFICATION is not allowed for
  PDUv1).
* Added: DefaultPDUFactory.createPDU(int targetVersion).
* Changed: PDUv1.toString() to use PDU.toString() for all PDU
  types other than PDU.V1TRAP.
* Added: Constructor to DefaultUDPTransportMapping to create
  a socket that reuses an address that is in timeout state
  after a closed connection (TIME_WAIT).
* Fixed: Fixed multi-threading issue in MPv3 where the incoming
  request pdu handle was overwritten which caused state information
  to get lost when more than one incoming request were processed
  concurrently.

[2006-05-29] Version 1.7.2:

* Added: JavaLogFactory and JavaLogAdapter for Java logging.
  This is now also the default logging for the SnmpRequest
  tool.
* Improved: OctetString.isPrintable to accept whitespaces as
  printable characters.
* Fixed: When connection closed remotely the corresponding
  event has not been fired in all cases (DefaultTCPTransportMapping).

[2006-04-24] Version 1.7.1:

* Fixed: Stackoverflow in OID.nextPeer().
* Added: ConnectionOrientedTransportMapping.close(Address peerAddress).
* Improved: Reporting of RuntimeExceptions while handling retries.

[2006-04-10] Version 1.7:

* Improved: Logging interface enhanced.
* Added: Variable.toInt() and Variable.toLong() to reduce
  casting when converting to native integer or long values.
* Fixed: OID.mask.
* Added: When PDUv1 decodes a Counter64 object, a
  MessageException is thrown.
* Added: OID.nextPeer(), OID.successor(),
  and OID.predecessor().
* Fixed: ThreadPool.stop() blocked.
* Fixed: Additional retries with sync requests when first
  try failed and second (or second to last) succeeded.
* Fixed: Possible NullPointerException when closing Snmp.
* Improved: Closing UDP default transport mapping first
  disconnects socket before closing it.
* Fixed: Possible ConcurrentModificationException when using
  List returned by sync TableUtils.getTable(..).
* Added: OctetString.fromByteArray to create an OctetString
  from a byte array.
* Improved: OID.successor() to build correct successor for
  128 subidentifier OIDs.
* Added: OID.min(OID a, OID b) and OID.max(OID a, OID b)
* Fixed: Handling of remote disconnect of TCP transport
  mapping.
* Added: ConnectionOrientedTransportMapping interface and
  TransportStateListener event listener.
* Added: Variable.getSyntaxString().
* Fixed: Bug in Snmp.send(PDU pdu, Target target,
  TransportMapping transport) which did not propagate the
  transport mapping.
* Added: UsignedInteger32(int) and UsignedInteger32(byte)
  constructor.
* Fixed: Set SnmpMessageLengthDecoder as default for
  DefaultTCPTransportMapping.
* Added sysOREntry OID constant in SnmpConstants.

[2005-12-27] Version 1.6e:

* Improved: Performance of TableUtils by using a better
  end condition when traversing a table.

[2005-12-06] Version 1.6d:

* Fixed: SNMP4J did not detect USM out-of-time-window errors
  when checking non-authoritative times.

[2005-11-30] Version 1.6c:

* Fixed: Sync requests were not removed from pending requests list
  when a response has been received which resulted in additional
  retries.

[2005-11-23] Version 1.6b:

* Fixed: Request ID handling for request IDs > 2^31.
* Fixed: If request ID < 0 of a incoming request a different
  request ID has been sent with the corresponding response.
* Changed: To let SNMP4J generate a request ID it has to be
  provided as 0 (negative request IDs will no longer snmpVersionAndMP
  in a new request ID being generated)
* Fixed: Memory leak when sending synchronous requests introduced
  in v1.6beta. The memory leak was caused because the pending
  message is not removed when a response has been received which
  also led SNMP4J send requests messages even though a response
  had already been received.

[2005-10-23] Version 1.6:

* Fixed: Retry handling of Snmp.
* Added: TaskScheduler and SchedulerTask.
* Added: MessageDispatcher.getTransport(..) and made corresponding
  private method in MessageDispatcherImpl public.

[2005-10-13] Version 1.6 RC 1:

* Fixed: Asynchronous Snmp.inform() used wrong PDU type (GETBULK
  instead INFORM).
* Fixed: MessageDispatcherImpl did not set peer transport mapping
  in StateReference (needed to respond correctly if multiple TCP
  transport mappings are used).
* Fixed: IpAddress.equals(Object o) threw ClassCastException if
  o was not an IpAddress.
* Added: Static method PDUFactory.createPDU(..).
* Improved: Made Target cloneable.
* Fixed: Fixed execution of broadcast requests in Snmp.java.
* Added: tryToExceute in ThreadPool and added two other methods
  to better interrupt/cancel tasks.
* Added: Interface for external handling of reports in Snmp.
* Added: ConsoleLogAdapter and ConsoleLogFactory for console
  logging.

[2005-08-24] Version 1.6 beta 1:

* Added: LogAdapter.fatal(..) methods.
* Fixed: TransportIpAddress.parse did not parse IPv6 addresses
  correctly.
* Improved: Introduced TransportListener interface to clearly
  separate TransportMappings from MessageDispatchers.
* Fixed: BER length encoding of length > 2^31.
* Added: TransportMapping.getListenAddress() returns the listen
  address of transport mappings.
* Fixed: Initialization of CommunityTarget SNMP version to 1
  for constructor with address.
* Fixed: MessageDispatcherImpl.getNextRequestID() did return 1
  after max int has been reached for all negative integer values.
* Fixed: Snmp.processReport(..) did not remove pending request
  when a final report has been received.
* Fixed: Counter64.getBERLength() [Thanks to Jim Doble].
* Added: SnmpEngineEvent and Listener that provide a callback
  hook for engine ID cache updates of the MPv3 local storage.
* Changed: UsmUserTable.UsmUserKey is now public.
* Improved: Hash code computation for UsmUserEntry.
* Fixed: Snmp.send(PDU,Target,TransportMapping) did not pass
  the transport mapping to the underlying calls.
* Added: Support for localized USM users.
* Fixed: Sometimes lost MPv3 cache information when processing
  reports (out of time, etc.) due to garbage collection on
  WeakHashMap.

[2005-04-26] Version 1.5:

* Fixed: Encoding of OIDs with sub-identifiers > 2^31.
* Fixed: Counter64 encoding error for some values > 2^24.
* Fixed: Timeout option descritpion of console tool.
* Added: Some debug messages for notInTimeWindow exceptions.
* Changed: Address is now an interface (was an abstract class).
  An new abstract base class for IpAddress and TransportIpAddress
  has been introduced which is called SMIAddress. Because of the
  class type change of Address you will need to recompile your
  application, when upgrading to SNMP4J 1.5.
* Improved: UdpAddress and TcpAddress BER encoding routines
  now encode the respective address as OCTET STRING according
  to the TRANSPORT-ADDRESS-MIB.
* Fixed: ThreadPool.stop did not notify TaskManagers which
  could block the stop() method execution.
* Improved: By default system properties are no longer used
  to determine SNMP4J configuration, instead the configuration
  (which transport protocols, security protocols, SMI syntaxes,
  address types, etc. to use) is hard coded and contains all
  available features. To add additional features without
  changing SNMP4J classes/code, use the
  SNMP4JSettings.setExtensibility method.
  Consequently, SNMP4J can now be used with Applets.
* Added: OID.mask(OctetString) to mask an OID by a bit string.
* Added: TransportIpAddress.getValue() which returns the
  address value as a byte array.
* Fixed: Typo in -OtCSV options and description CVS changed into
  CSV.
* Added: snmpInPkts counter support.
* Improved: Console example can now be extended more easily.
* Changed: Made Snmp default constructor public.
* Added: Snmp(MessageDispatcher).

[2005-04-04] Version 1.2.1:

* Changed: Due to incomplete state of Log4J 1.3-alpha6 and
  for the sake of a more flexible logging interface the
  new package org.snmp4j.log has been introduced. By default
  SNMP4J does not use logging. To enable logging, for example
  Log4J logging which is supported out-of-the-box, use
  "static { LogFactory.setLogFactory(new Log4LogFactory());}"

[2005-03-30] Version 1.2:

* Improved: Replaced the log4j-1.3alpha-6.jar with a patched
  version that does not print out Log4J internal messages.
  These internal logging messages will be also removed from
  the official log4j 1.3 version once it is released as beta.
* Added: OctetString.startsWith(OctetString).

* Changed: Logging API again back from JCL to Log4J-1.3's
  UGLI independent logging interface.
* Improved: Privacy protocols know also return their maximum
  key length. Privacy keys now adhere to that maximum length
  when keys are generated by passwordToKey.
* Added: USM.getSecurityProtocols()
* Added: OID.toByteArray() to simplify conversion of index OIDs
  to SMI values.
* Fixed: OctetString.compareTo function did not compare
  byte values as unsigned causing wrong ordering of bytes > 127.
* Added: OctetString.set(int, byte).

* Changed: Target is now an interface (as an abstract
  class). AbstractTarget has been introduced which
  implements the same functionality as the former Target
  object. CAUTION: v1.2 is therefore *not* binary compatible
  with older versions. Please recompile your classes when
  upgrading to v1.2!
* Fixed: Snmp.trap threw always an exception.
* Added: USM.updateUser(..) and new constructor that accepts
  a custom SecurityProtocols set.
* Added: zeroDotZero to SnmpConstants.
* Changed: Log4J logging is now wrapped by the Apache
  commons logging to be more independent regarding the
  used logging framework.
* Fixed: notInTimeWindow report was sent with wrong
  securityLevel (should be authNoPriv - was noAuthNoPriv).
* Improved: StateReference now also holds the TransportMapping
  that was/should be used to communicate with the peer.
* Fixed: Added missing clone() method to TimeTicks.
* Added: Range option for plain OIDs for the command line
  parsing of the SnmpRequest command line tool. The range
  specification allows more convenient specification of the
  columns of a table (for example '1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1-18').
* Fixed: JavaDoc of Snmp class used deprecated methods.

[2005-02-17] Version 1.1.1:

* Fixed: BER decoding of zero Counter64 value and optimized
  encoding of Counter64 values.
* Added: -tCVS and -ttCVS operation modes to support
  CVS dumps of tabular SNMP data with the console
  example (SnmpRequest.java).

[2005-02-04] Version 1.1a:

* Added: UsmUser checks for minimum passphrase length (8).
  See RFC3414 �11.2.
* Fixed: TableUtils did not recognize SNMP exception VB
  status and errors (SNMPv1) indicating table boundary.

[2005-02-02] Version 1.1:

* Improved: ResponseEvent now includes the peer address
  of the response sending entity.
* Added: PDU.toArray() and PDU.addAll(VariableBinding[]).
* Added: OID.trim(int n) which removes the n rightmost
  subidentifiers of an OID.
* Changed: MessageDispatcherImpl.addTransportMapping
  does not replace a transport mapping for the same
  address class any more.
* Changed: Snmp.sendPDU methods are now deprecated, because
  they do not return the peer address. The new
  Snmp.send methods return a ResponseEvent object that
  provides this information.
* Added: PDU type send methods that set the PDU type when
  sending the PDU.
* Added: Snmp.addNotificationListener() and related methods
  to support simple (de)registration of inbound only transport
  mappings.
* Improved: Snmp's and DefaultTcpTransportMapping's threads
  now run as daemon threads and thus no longer prevents an
  application to exit. Nevertheless, it is strongly
  recommended to call Snmp.close() before exiting to close
  all ports nicely.
* Improved: Removed redundant class UsmUserNameTable.
* Added: Methods to extract and delete USM users (USM class).
* Improved: MPv3.Cache entries are now removed even if the
  target agent does not respond.
* Changed: Made OctetString.isPrintable() public.
* Added: TransportMapping.isListening().
* Added: TransportMappings class which allows generic mapping
  of address classes to transport mappings.
* Fixed: TableUtils did not handle sparse tables correctly.
* Fixed: MPv3.setLocalEngineID did not check parameter.
* Fixed: DefaultPDUFactory did not create SNMPv3 ScopedPDUs.
* Changed: Replaced -D option of console tool by -d to avoid
  name clashes with JVM option -D.

[2005-01-13] Version 1.0.4c:

* Fixed: UsmUserKey.compareTo and UsmUserEntry.compareTo
  methods did not compare classes engine ID correctly.

[2004-11-22] Version 1.0.4b:

* Fixed: In some situations an SNMPv3_USM_ERROR could
  have returned when trying to send a request/response
  PDU to a target for whose engine ID no engine time
  notion has been stored in the local cache.

[2004-11-18] Version 1.0.4a:

* Fixed: TableUtils.getTable did not cancel requests
  which caused a memory leak.
* Fixed: UnsupportedOperationException was thrown in
  TableUtils.getTable() when using it on a SNMPv1 target.
* Fixed: Unclosed file handle when reading
  smisyntax.properties.

* Fixed: Memory leak when sending asynchronous requests.
  When sending an async request do not forget to cancel
  the request using Snmp.cancel(PDU, ReponseListener)
  within the onResponse method of your listener!
* Fixed: Unclosed file handles when reading
  address.properties and SecurityProtocols.properties.
* Added: Synchronous TableUtils.getTable() method.
* Improved: TransportMapping inheritance regarding
  asynchronous message processing support.
* Added: DefaultPDUFactory implementation.
* Fixed: PDU.isConfirmedPdu().

[2004-11-04] Version 1.0.3c:

* Added: The DefaultUdpTransportMapping and
  DefaultTcpTransportMapping now by default support
  asynchronous (i.e. multi-threaded) message processing.
  For synchronous message processing the flag
  asyncMsgProcessingSupported should be set to false, to
  increase performance!

[2004-10-30] Version 1.0.3b:

* Fixed: TableUtils did use GETBULK PDU type also for
  SNMPv1 targets.
* Improved: By default, the MessageDispatcherImpl class
  now checks for inconsistencies between PDU type and
  used SNMP version.

[2004-10-13] Version 1.0.3a:

* Fixed: Race condition in Variable.registerSyntaxes().
  In a multithreaded usage, this could have caused some
  BER decoding failures.
* Improved: Minor JavaDoc improvements.

[2004-08-20] Version 1.0.3:

* Added: Variable.isException().
* Improved: DefaultUdpTransportMapping now closes socket
  in close() even if listen() has not been called before.
* Added: Variable.createVariableFromSyntax(int smiSyntax).
* Fixed: Uncaught exception thrown by the Snmp class
  because of an incomplete synchronization within the
  retry processing.
* Improved: Several JavaDoc improvements, for example added
  documentation for the different PDU types.

[2004-08-07] Version 1.0.2:

* Improved: Added constants for exception Null variables and
  Null constructor that takes an exception status syntax as
  parameter.
* Fixed: GenericAddress.parseAddress was not multi-threading
  safe.
* Added: Package org.snmp4j.util containing a ThreadPool
  implementation and a MultiThreadedMessageDispatcher.
* Added: TableUtils to retrieve a columns of one or more SNMP
  tables effeciently and row oriented using GETBULK requests.
* Added: OID(int[] rawOID, int offset, int length) constructor.

[2004-07-02] Version 1.0.1a:

* Fixed: Two regression issues that broke the TCP transport
  mapping.
* Fixed: TCP transport mapping left an unused timer thread
  running when closed.

[2004-06-26] Version 1.0.1:

* Fixed: SNMPv3 trap sending did not use local engine ID
  and time values (although it should have because the
  sending engine is the authoritative).
* Fixed: Context engine ID was not set to the local
  engine ID when empty and the sent PDU was a unconfirmed one.
* Added: DefaultCounterListener which implements SNMP error
  counters in a generic way. It is not used by SNMP4J by
  default.
* Fixed: Incorrect usage description in SnmpRequest.
* Fixed: clone() methods of Counter32 and Gauge32.
* Added: clone() method to VariableBinding.
* Added: Counter32.increment() and Counter64.increment() methods.

[2004-06-21] Version 1.0a:

* Fixed: Stack overflow when using PDUv1 for other PDU types
  than PDU.V1TRAP (which is *not* recommended anyway!).
* Improved: MessageDispatcherImpl.sendPdu throws now a
  MessageException when USM fails to prepare the outgoing
  message (instead of a NullPointerException).
* Fixed: Two race conditions when creating Snmp instances
  concurrently (two singleton factory methods needed to be
  synchronized).
* Improved: Console example returned "strange variable ..."
  when reaching end of a subtree-walk.

[2004-05-21] Version 1.0:

* Fixed: Several small cosmetic fixes in code, build, and
  JavaDoc.

[2004-05-08] Version 1.0 RC2:

* Fixed: SNMPv3 interoperability problems due to incorrect
  (too long) Mesage Authentication Code length.
* Fixed: Regression bug in the privacy module that has been
  introduced by the optimization in the last version.
* Fixed: The SNMP4J-Tool did not use supplied context and
  contextEngineID parameters.

[2004-04-20] Version 1.0 RC:

* Fixed: Bug in Counter64.getBERLength() - length was too
  short by one for very big counter values.
* Improved: Performance of BER encoding and decoding because
  less buffer copying is used now. There is still a small
  optimization potential for SNMPv3 message handling. This
  will be utilized in the final 1.0 release.
* Improved: Report handling.
* Improved: JavaDoc but package descriptions are still
  incomplete.
* Fixed: When Snmp.close() has been called all resources
  are freed now - also the internal message processing
  thread.

[2004-04-07] Version 1.0beta(2):

* Fixed: The dist/lib/SNMP4J.jar was not up-to-date
  and contained a bug, the sources did not contain.
  If you have downloaded the intial release you can
  simply rebuild it using "ant". There is then no need
  to download the beta(2) release.
