Actually, because 5.6.1.pre1 fixes a number of bugs in the 5.6 code I'd
almost consider at least starting with it and upgrading to 5.6.1 in a
few weeks when it comes out. So there is my recommendation!
In generally, we try and encourage upgrade paths to the latest and
greatest whenever possible since we maintain the latest and greatest the
best. Certainly you should start with 5.5.something at a minimum since
everything below that is slowing going to be obsolete and unsupported.
We're about to stop supporting the 5.3 line after one more release in
the next 6-months or so.
The Net-SNMP code is extremely backward compatible so there is really no
reason not to upgrade generally.
Note that 5.6 has a fairly extensive set of new tests.
Examples of running some of the tests:
# cd testing
# ./RUNFULLTESTS
# ./RUNFULLTESTS -g unit-tests
# ./RUNFULLTESTS -g transports

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
