Release 0.6.0 of Ruby SNMP is now available. I got tons of user  
feedback on the last release and I have tried to incorporate most of it  
into this release. Thanks for all of the suggestions!

[http://snmplib.rubyforge.org/](http://snmplib.rubyforge.org/)

The SNMP protocol provides the capability to monitor and manage  
switches, routers, printers, desktops, and other equipment in your  
network. This implementation includes a simple Ruby-style interface and  
symbolic access to SNMP object IDs.

Changes for version 0.6.0:

- Added support for sending informs and traps for SNMPv2c and traps for  
SNMPv1
- Improved SNMP::Manager#walk so that it can handle missing varbinds  
when reading tables. The indexes for a table row read by #walk are now  
guaranteed to match.
- Added to\_oid methods to SNMP::OctetString, SNMP::Integer, and  
SNMP::IpAddress (feature request #2486)
- Fixed some problems with retrying requests that caused annoying  
“Request ID mismatch” warnings and caused too few retries to be  
attempted
- Thanks to Mark Cotner, Dan Hamlin, Tim Howe, Diana Eichert, Ery Lee,  
Jan Åge Johnsen, and Jeff Foster for their help and suggestions (and  
apologies in advance if I have forgotten someone).

Cheers,

Dave
