<p>[manager] A request for an oid of type BITS was actually
returned as OCTET STRING. </p>
<p>Values of type BITS are encoded as OCTET STRING,
which makes it impossible for the decoder to know that
they should really be of type BITS.
Instead, this has to be done higher up in the stack, where
there is knowledge of the MIB (assuming that the mib has
been loaded, there is info about the type of the mibentry). </p>
<p>This problem has now been fixed, but requires that the MIB
defining this mib-entry is loaded! </p>

<p>[manager] A major flaw was discovered with the agent handling. </p>
<p>First, <c>TargetName</c> was never used as intended, as a unique
identifier for the target (agent in this case). </p>
<p>Second, <c>TargetName</c> had a <em>default value</em>, which meant
that several agents could have the same <c>TargetName</c>, causing
unpredictable behaviour in the manager. </p>
<p>Third, <c>EngineID</c> was not a mandatory config option and had
furthermore also a <em>default value</em>. </p>
<p>These problems has been solved in the following way: </p>
<p>First, a new set of api functions has been introduced (and documented):
<seealso marker="snmpm#register_user">register_user/4</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#register_user_monitor">register_user_monitor/4</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#register_agent">register_agent/3</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#unregister_agent">unregister_agent/2</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#agent_info">agent_info/2</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#update_agent_info">update_agent_info/4</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#sync_get">sync_get/3,4,5,6</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#async_get">async_get/3,4,5,6</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#sync_get_next">sync_get_next/3,4,5,6</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#async_get_next">async_get_next/3,4,5,6</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#sync_set">sync_set/3,4,5,6</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#async_set">async_set/3,4,5,6</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm#sync_get_bulk">sync_get_bulk/5,6,7,8</seealso> and
<seealso marker="snmpm#async_get_bulk">async_get_bulk/5,6,7,8</seealso>
that all use <c>TargetName</c> (and not, as previously, <c>Addr</c>
and <c>Port</c>) to identify the agent (also the return value of
<seealso marker="snmpm#which_agents">which_agents</seealso> has
been changed). </p>
<p>Second, for backward compatibility, the old functions still
exist, but are no longer documented and are now wrappers for the
new functions, including erroneous default value for EngineID and
all. The TargetName is however generated from the provided
<c>Addr</c>, <c>Port</c> and <c>Version</c> config options. </p>
<p>Third, the behaviour of the
<seealso marker="snmpm_user">SNMP manager user</seealso> has
been changed to reflect this, i.e.
<seealso marker="snmpm_user#handle_pdu">handle_pdu/4</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm_user#handle_trap">handle_trap/3</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm_user#handle_inform">handle_inform/3</seealso>,
<seealso marker="snmpm_user#handle_report">handle_report/3</seealso>
and the return-value of
<seealso marker="snmpm_user#handle_agent">handle_agent/4</seealso>.
The old (non-documented) callback-functions (using Addr and Port)
will still be called if the agent was registered using the old
registration functions. </p>
