It has been pointed out that the description of corrected problem number
3 in the release notes is incorrect. It described a solution that we
ultimately rejected and not the final change. The online
copy of the release notes has been corrected with the following text:
3) Previously, the macro.SNMP macro opened both UDP ports 161 and 162
from SOURCE to DEST. This is against the usual practice of opening
these ports in the opposite direction. Beginning with this release,
macro.SNMP opens port 162 from SOURCE to DEST as before, and a new
SNMPTrap macro is added that opens port 162 (from SOURCE to
DEST).

How fast is your code?
3 out of 4 devs don\\\''t know how their code performs in production.
