Changes affecting MIB Smithy:

• A “wrong # args” error could occur when previewing a single OBJECT-TYPE in SMI format (the error did not occur when previewing the whole module).

Changes affecting both MIB Smithy and MIB Smithy SDK:

• The “piberrors” type in the XML-SMI Schema document was not correct and did not match the implementation and has been corrected.
• Newlines and carriage returns in OCTET STRING values were forcing conversion to hex (such as in varbind values in responses) as if they were on-printable characters.
• A crash could occur if the environment variable for pointing to the license key file were mistakenly set to a directory instead.

A crash could occur when using the $session walk command synchronously (no callback) and the request timed out. This problem is fixed in the MIB Smithy 4.0.3 and MIB Smithy SDK 3.4.2 releases.

New Features (MIB Smithy)

• Paths to MIB/PIB files in MIB Smithy project files were previously stored as absolute paths. They are now stored as “relative to project file” paths to make it easier to put them under source control with the MIB/PIB files and check them out in other locations.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes (MIB Smithy SDK)

• Enumeration comments were sometimes being lost, depending on where they appeared in relation to the enumerations.
• Newlines and excess whitespace were not always being properly collapsed in enumeration comments.
• Comments for the last assignment (such as an OBJECT-GROUP) in a module would wind up being associated with the module rather than (or in addition to) the assignment.

New Features

• The “format” subcommand, available to both database and session commands, can be used to format received SNMP data for display using the DISPLAY-HINT, if any, or customizable formats for enumerated INTEGER and OBJECT IDENTIFIER values. These default formats can be configured per-database. The command is available to the TNM “mib” compatibility interface as well.
• SNMP request variable bindings can now take enumerate names and name-and-number forms for enumerated INTEGER values to be included in the varbinds of the request. For example, you can now set a RowStatus object with the value “destroy” or “destroy(6)” in addition to just “6″.
• Added a native SNMP Session “walk” command for performing Get-Next walks of subtrees or entire agents more simply than doing so manually with the “next” command. As with individual requests, asynchronous and synchronous forms are supported, as are session configuration overrides.
• Numerous performance improvements were made, particularly for the SNMP layer’s interaction with its configured SMI database.
• The SMI Database “dump” command can now take an optional channel name to which output is to be sent.
• You can now get the current value for the SNMP Session’s -straps option using cget.
• The SNMP Session “configure” command can now handle an extra layer of [list] wrapping around its arguments so that one can avoid the overhead of eval and quickly clone sessions using “$session new [$session configure]”.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes

• Received responses that don’t match pending requests are now just dropped, rather than triggering a background error. The background error would sometimes be triggered by cancelling an asynchronous request.
• A lone % at the end of the TNM-style request callback string could lead to a crash.
• The authKeyChange and privKeyChagne commands would crash if not given a salt using the -salt option.
• Errors from TNM-style asynchronous walk callbacks were providing the extra non-pertinent information the background error messages.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes (MIB Smithy)

• Right-clicking on an implicit node in the Project tree would leave some menu items disabled the next time a real node’s popup menu was shown due to the menu being shown before being configured.
• A record/workspace tab mapping variable was not being properly unset upon renaming a record with the Apply button. This could result in an error when closing and re-opening that record’s workspace or the workspace not being opened for a newly created record of the same type.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes (MIB Smithy SDK)

• A lone % at the end of the TNM-style request callback string could lead to a crash.
• authKeyChange and privKeyChange commands would crash if not given a salt using the -salt option.
