When declaring OIDs in SNMP based checks you can now include the OID into BINARY. This will then create a list of bytes instead of a string. E.g. BINARY('5') will fetch the end OID 5 and convert the string values into lists of bytes, into [0, 33, 85, 10, 7, 186] instead of '\x00!U\n\x07\xba'. This allows to tackle a problem with the new version 1.2.8 that otherwise automatically interpretes all strings as UTF-8.
