python-netsnmpagent 0.5.1 released

python-netsnmpagent version 0.5.1 has just been released.

This release has no substantial new features but a number of fixes of which the following three are important enough to warrant an update from 0.5.0:

  • netsnmpagent: Make Table’s value() method regard string lengths
  • netsnmpagent: Drop special string handling in Table’s init()/setRowCell()
  • netsnmpagent: Fix Table’s value() cutting off ASN_COUNTER64 table values

Other changes include:

  • Usage of MIB files is now completely optional
  • threading_agent got a small fix so it works on Python 2.6, too
  • __version__ got removed, use pkg_resources in your agent yourself to express version dependencies as outlined in 5715e77f’s commit message.

See the included ChangeLog for a detailed list of all changes

Ways to get the software:

  • As usual, the source is available at the GitHub repo.
