#### Retry for SNMP bulk items

A retry has been added for SNMP bulk items to avoid failure if one of the packets is lost.

The timeout for SNMP items with `get` and `walk` is set for whole session. If the timeout is reached then a retry will occur one time, the timeout will be reset and the last request will be resent allowing to continue the session from last request if a single packet is lost or arrived too late.

#### TAB key in scripts

Pressing the TAB key in the modal JavaScript editor now inserts a tab character (equivalent to 4 spaces) instead of shifting focus to another element.
This applies to the *Script* parameter in [Browser items](/manual/config/items/itemtypes/browser#configuration), [Script items](/manual/config/items/itemtypes/script#configuration),
[Webhooks](/manual/config/notifications/media/webhook#configuration), and the [JavaScript preprocessing step](/manual/config/items/preprocessing#javascript).

Additionally, the [item menu](/manual/web_interface/menu/item_menu) now includes the *Host* or *Template* option, allowing you to quickly access and configure the host or template that the item belongs to.
