RELEASE NOTES (Changes since v1.5)

* Fixed: Retry handling of Snmp.
* Added: TaskScheduler and SchedulerTask.
* Added: MessageDispatcher.getTransport(..) and made corresponding
  private method in MessageDispatcherImpl public.

* Fixed: Asynchronous Snmp.inform() used wrong PDU type (GETBULK
  instead INFORM).
* Fixed: MessageDispatcherImpl did not set peer transport mapping
  in StateReference (needed to respond correctly if multiple TCP
  transport mappings are used).
* Fixed: IpAddress.equals(Object o) threw ClassCastException if
  o was not an IpAddress.
* Added: Static method PDUFactory.createPDU(..).
* Improved: Made Target cloneable.
* Fixed: Fixed execution of broadcast requests in Snmp.java.
* Added: tryToExceute in ThreadPool and added two other methods
  to better interrupt/cancel tasks.
* Added: Interface for external handling of reports in Snmp.
* Added: ConsoleLogAdapter and ConsoleLogFactory for console
  logging.

* Added: LogAdapter.fatal(..) methods.
* Fixed: TransportIpAddress.parse did not parse IPv6 addresses
  correctly.
* Improved: Introduced TransportListener interface to clearly
  separate TransportMappings from MessageDispatchers.
* Fixed: BER length encoding of length > 2^31.
* Added: TransportMapping.getListenAddress() returns the listen
  address of transport mappings.
* Fixed: Initialization of CommunityTarget SNMP version to 1
  for constructor with address.
* Fixed: MessageDispatcherImpl.getNextRequestID() did return 1
  after max int has been reached for all negative integer values.
* Fixed: Snmp.processReport(..) did not remove pending request
  when a final report has been received.
* Fixed: Counter64.getBERLength() [Thanks to Jim Doble].
* Added: SnmpEngineEvent and Listener that provide a callback
  hook for engine ID cache updates of the MPv3 local storage.
* Changed: UsmUserTable.UsmUserKey is now public.
* Improved: Hash code computation for UsmUserEntry.
* Fixed: Snmp.send(PDU,Target,TransportMapping) did not pass
  the transport mapping to the underlying calls.
* Added: Support for localized USM users.
* Fixed: Sometimes lost MPv3 cache information when processing
  reports (out of time, etc.) due to garbage collection on
  WeakHashMap.
