Net-SNMP 5.2.3 has been made available on our download site
( http://www.net-snmp.org/download/ ).  This is a maintenance release in
the 5.2.x branch.

Official patches for this or any of the Net-SNMP releases will be
available (as always) at http://www.net-snmp.org/official_patches/ .

FYI, we'll also release Net-SNMP 5.3.1 before the weekend which is
believed to be the best net-snmp release available.

We hope you enjoy this new release,

Where can I get it?
------------------

  Download:
    - http://www.net-snmp.org/download/
    - ftp://ftp.net-snmp.org/pub/sourceforge/net-snmp/
  Web page:
    - http://www.net-snmp.org/
  Sourceforge Project page:
    - http://www.net-snmp.org/project/
  Mirrors (note that sourceforge download servers are mirrored themselves):
    - US:          ftp://ftp.freesnmp.com/mirrors/net-snmp/
    - Greece:      ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/net/snmp/net-snmp/

Are there binaries available?
----------------------------

  - Binaries do appear on our download site, but often are published a
    bit later than the normal source code.  Most of the binaries that
    are available have been linked with the OpenSSL package so you'll
    need a copy of it installed in order to use them.  If you don't
    have OpenSSL installed and don't want it installed, please get the
    net-snmp source release instead and built it yourself (but you'll
    loose support for SNMPv3 with SHA1 authentication and both DES and
    AES encryption).

What operating systems does it run on?
-------------------------------------

  Both the applications and the agent have been reported as running
  (at least in part) on the following operating systems:

        * Linux (kernels 2.6 to 1.3)
        * Solaris/SPARC (11 to 2.3), Solaris/Intel (10, 9) -- see
