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

• 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”.

MIB Smithy 4.0 is a major release with significant improvements in GUI look and feel, new features in the SNMP Tools, and usability improvements. The new feature we’re most excited about is the new compiler log. In this release, MIB Smithy breaks away from the traditional text-only log with a more task-oriented tabular design that’s more concise, has better visual cues to distinguish errors from warnings and between record types, and can be sorted to help you fix problems in the order that’s right for you. We look forward to even more workflow improvements under development for a future release. Continue reading MIB Smithy 4.0 Release

Bugs fixed in this release:

• 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.
