• The right-click popup menu in the Project Tree will no longer show for Type/Value Assignment virtual folders as it was actually showing the menu for the module. Consequently, selecting “Remove” would remove the module, rather than all Type/Value Assignments as one might expect.
• A “record search string is ambiguous” error would occur when sorting OIDs for generating some output formats if the name assigned to one of those OIDs was also used in another module.
• An “invalid command name” error could occur when trying to show the calendar popup for REVISION and LAST-UPDATED timestamps due to a trace not being removed after the popup is hidden.
• Removed conversion of spaces to HTML entities in help file:// URLs under Windows to prevent errors launching help when MSIE 7 is the default browser.

• 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.

Also, when such failure occurred due to the duplicate definition, double-clicking on the error in the compiler log should have opened the text file editor for manual correction, but instead caused an “invalid workspace type” error.

Both of these issues have been corrected in the 4.0.6 release.

• Documentation should now conform to XHTML 1.0 Strict rather than just HTML 4.0.1 Transitional.
• SEQUENCE definitions for tables are now output where they usually appear in standard MIB modules, rather than at the top of the module with other type assignments.

Bug Fixes

• Error “bad window path name” could occur when closing and re-opening SNMP Tools.
• In the Syntax property window, selecting class filter “All” and module filter “– All –” did not show derived types in the “Primary Type” combobox.
• Error ‘can’t read “shortName”: no such variable’ would occur in the Table View when trying to view a table where columns did not share a common prefix (e.g. due to indexes from other tables).

NOTE: Earlier versions of the Windows builds of our software products were built using MSVC6 and we have switched over to MSVC8 for improved C++ standards and STL support necessary for new features that are under development. Unfortunately the installer project files are not compatible between MSVC6 and MSVC8, requiring them to be recreated from scratch, and were issues with the automatic conversion of the other project files.

As a result, there was a problem with the initial Windows build for MIB Smithy Evaluation and MIB Smithy Standard (MIB Smithy Professional was unaffected), so if you had problems running 4.0.4, such as an error regarding the “smilib” package not being found, this should be fixed in the 4.0.4 build posted March 19th.

• 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.

• Added copy-to-clipboard support to the Tasks list.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes

• The Task List could stop displaying errors/warnings after creating or opening a new project.
• A “wrong # args” error would occur in the Trap Watch tool when receiving events if the log had grown to 1000 events, the point where it will start to drop old events to keep the log from growing without bound.
• An “unknown namespace” error could occur when opening or creating an AGENT-CAPABILITIES record if a MODULE-COMPLIANCE record had not been previously edited.
• Fixed wrong icon for Trap Watch tool.
• Saving MIB/PIB files used an obsolete OID comparison function that didn’t have protection against illegal self-referential OIDs. This could cause the application to hang temporarily and error with “too many nested evaluations”.

• An unknown variable error could occur when using the File Tree to delete files or directories.
• Right-clicking on a directory in the File Tree would result in an unknown variable error.
• Matching of column and index names in Table Wizard entries to the lists above was not taking prefixes into consideration, which would allow adding two columns with the same name.
• Unknown command and variable errors could occur when interacting with the Index page of the Table Wizard. Also, the Columns and Index pages will now set focus to the column name field after adding a column.
• Module wizard size could shimmer after switching pages.
• Some properties of the Notification, Notification Group and Object Group workspaces were applied instead of reverted when the Revert button was pressed. This also caused files to be marked as modified when these workspaces were opened, even though nothing had changed.
