2004-01-07 kragen <kragen@pobox.com>

Added placeholders for copyright notice.

Eliminated duplicate lines from ChangeLog. 

        Updated and cleaned up documentation and comments, fixing several
        errors.

        Trimmed source lines to 80 columns.

        Removed excessive peformance history in SNMP.pm comments.

        Updated TODO.

2003-12-24 kragen <kragen@pobox.com>

2003-12-20 kragen <kragen@pobox.com>

Rearranged TODO.

Added another couple of tests.

2003-12-10 kragen <kragen@pobox.com>

Updated documentation.

Minor cleanups here and there. 

        Added tests for encoding and decoding packets with many lengths, and
        for badValue.  Found a buglet: some warning in 'unpack' for some
        packet lengths.

        TODO list slowly shrinking.

2003-12-09 kragen <kragen@pobox.com> 

        Supposedly boosted performance in SNMP.pm by normally using the short-form
        encoding.  Haven't measured.

        Added and rearranged documentation in SNMP.pm.

        Fixed encoding and decoding of things with long length fields.
        10% performance penalty for things without, but at least the code
        is correct now.

2003-12-04 kragen <kragen@pobox.com> 

        Added performance test to Simple.t (which now takes >15 seconds,
        ick.).  Improved performance of agent for walks.  The performance test
        automatically takes care of ensuring Simple reuses its socket, because
        performance halves when it doesn't.

        Simplified and optimized walk code in Simple.  Also, it now handles
        leading dots the way the documentation I wrote this morning said it
        did.

        Doubled Agent.t's timeout on socket reads to 250ms --- I had a
        spurious test failure.

        Added getNextRequest handling to the SNMP agent and walks to
        SNMP::Simple.

        Added $SNMP::Simple::error_status.

        Updated and corrected documentation and TODO file.

        Refactored some tests.

2003-12-03 kragen <kragen@pobox.com> 

        Implemented adjustable timeouts and retries in SNMP::Simple, with defaults
        from Net::SNMP.

        Added request-ID generation and checking to SNMP::Simple.

        Raised threshold on Mapper performance test so it doesn't fail
        sporadically.

        * TODO: Updated TODO.

2003-12-01 kragen <kragen@pobox.com>

Added community string handling to agent.

2003-11-30 kragen <kragen@pobox.com> 

        Now SNMP agent actually uses network and handles get and set requests,
        but it's still pretty incomplete.

        * ChangeLog: Added ChangeLog.

        * SNMP/Agent.pm, SNMP/Agent.t, SNMP/Mapper.pm, SNMP/handle-lotsa-requests.pl:
        Added SNMP agent implementation --- it can generate plausible response
        packets, but doesn't yet know how to ship them over the network.  And it
        looks like it can do that about 2000 times per second!

        * SNMP.pm, SNMP.t, TODO, getsysname-lots-simple.pl, update-todo:
        Added SNMP::Simple module to do one-line SNMP gets and sets.  Not really
        production-quality yet.  Needs a lot more work.  Significantly slower
        than raw SNMP.pm, but still 10x as fast as Net::SNMP.

        Added TODO file and build script.

        Corrected test count.

2003-11-29 kragen <kragen@pobox.com> 

        Initial CVS import.  Can encode and decode SNMP messages, and
        there are some scripts to use this ability to do actual SNMP
        transactions, about 12x as fast as Net::SNMP 4.1.2.
