RE: Multiple sets in one pdu

Thanks a lot Dave. But in ChangeLog, it says:

Fixes:
    - the agent should properly handle requests in the right order.
      (e.g., restrict the agent to processing only one SET at a time) 

Seems it is opposite to what you said.

Also the ordering of varbinds in a SET request may have some
significance because of dependency between the varbinds. Where can I
find doc regarding the simultaneously processing SET assignments?

Thanks,
Yong Chen

Remember that SET assignments are processed "as if simultaneously".
You cannot rely on a particular ordering of varbinds in the SET request.
This should *NOT* affect the success or failure of the assignment.

Tough.
You should *NOT* rely on any particular ordering of varbinds.
Your code should be robust enough to cope with the assignments being
provided in *any* order.
