FAQ:General 09

How do I find out about new releases?

There is a mailing list for these announcements

       net-snmp-announce@lists.sourceforge.net

To be added to (or removed from) this list, visit http://www.net-snmp.org/lists/net-snmp-announce/. Or you can send a message to the address 'net-snmp-announce-request@lists.sourceforge.net' with a subject line of 'subscribe' (or 'unsubscribe' as appropriate).

Major code revisions may be announced more widely (e.g. on the SNMP mailing lists, or comp.protocols.snmp) but this list is the most reliable way to keep in touch with the status of this package.

Patches to fix known problems are also made available via the web site: http://www.net-snmp.org/patches/
