[SNMP4J] SNMP4J 1.7 and SNMP4J-Agent 1.0beta1 Released

[Frank Fock]

Dear SNMP4J-Users,

SNMP4J v1.7 and SNMP4J-Agent 1.0beta1 have been released today
and can be downloaded from http://www.snmp4j.org

SNMP4J-Agent is still not documented as it should be, however
its code base should now be reasonable stable. Until v1.0 can
be finally released, TODOs in the code have to implemented,
everything thoroughly tested, and possible bugs removed (reports
are appreciated!). The managed object interface is now so stable
that AgenPro 2.5 with new and enhanced templates for SNMP4J will
be released in about three weeks.
