<p>
SNMP has been improved to handle IPv6. The agent can
handle dual stack IPv4 + IPv6, but not yet the manager.
The documentation also still lags behind... If you do
such advanced stuff like writing a custom net_if module,
the interface for it has changed, but other than that
SNMP is backwards compatible.</p>

<p>[agent] Reading the value of the vacmViewTreeFamilyMask returns
it in the wrong (internal bitlist) format. </p>
<p>The vacmViewTreeFamilyMask is defined as a bit string in the MIB
(OCTET STRING). Internally a bitlist (list of 1's and 0's,
see <seealso marker="snmp_agent_config_files#vacm">vacm config file</seealso>
for more info) is used.
However, the MIB implementation assumed the latter, effectively
rendering all attempts to read/set masks via SNMP unsuccessful. </p>
<p>Since the mask is used in hot paths (e.g. access permission checks
for each SNMP operation, the bitlist representation of the mask has
benefits (e.g. faster processing). Reading/writing the view mask
objects is less time-critical. Therefore, to fix the issue, convert
between the bitlist (internal) representation and bitstring
(external) when the vacmViewTreeFamilyMask objects are accessed. </p>
<p>Also, the check of the vacm config file was invalid with
regard to the mask value. It was assumed to be a proper oid, which
is not strictly the case (see bitlist above). </p>

<p>[agent] Errors in <c>vacmAccessTable</c> RowStatus handling.
There are problems with the handling of vacmAccessTableStatus
that cause some SNMP test suites to report errors.
Most notably, erroneous set operations frequently cause "genErr"
errors to be returned. These "genErr" errors are usually caused
by badmatch exceptions coming from
<c>{ok, Row} = snmpa_vacm:get_row(RowIndex)</c>
if the row does not exist. </p>
<p>The semantics of the RowStatus handling in that table has
been adjusted to be compliant with the RowStatus
textual description of SNPMv2-TC MIB. </p>

<p>[agent] Sematic fixes to SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB.
The semantics allow the <c>usmUserAuthKeyChange</c> and
<c>usmUserPrivKeyChange</c> objects to be written to in the
same set requests that also creates and clones the user.
This was not possible beforehand, causing test tools checking
semantic SNMPv3 behaviour to fail on a lot of test cases. </p>
<p>Furthermore, once the user has been cloned by writing to an
instance of <c>usmUserCloneFrom</c>, further set-operations to
the same object will not return an error, but be no-ops.
Especially, it must be avoided to copy security parameters
again (possibly even from a different user). </p>

<p>[agent] Errors in <c>vacmAccessTable</c> RowStatus handling.
There are problems with the handling of vacmAccessTableStatus
that cause some SNMP test suites to report errors.
Most notably, erroneous set operations frequently cause "genErr"
errors to be returned. These "genErr" errors are usually caused
by badmatch exceptions coming from
<c>{ok, Row} = snmpa_vacm:get_row(RowIndex)</c>
if the row does not exist. </p>
<p>The semantics of the RowStatus handling in that table has
been adjusted to be compliant with the RowStatus
textual description of SNPMv2-TC MIB. </p>
