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.

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.

Bugs fixed in this release:

• An error would occur regarding an undefined bitmap “table.ico” when launching the Table Wizard, due to path changes introduced in MIB Smithy 3.3.
• The rewrapping of text labels in the Table Wizard when the window is resized could get stuck rewrapping continuously.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes (MIB Smithy)

• Opening the README.RTF and LICENSE.RTF files from the Help menu would result in an error under Windows, as MS Word didn’t recognize the %20’s for spaces.
• The Window|Maximize command did not restore a previously maximized window to normal under Mac OS X. It would do so momentarily, and then return to the maximized (zoomed) state.
• The Aqua “Window” menu could show a “menu” item where the list of open windows were shown that should not be there.
• A focus race condition in the popup calendar used for timestamps in MODULE-IDENTITY’s LAST-UPDATED and REVISIONS fields could lead to a hang, at least under Windows.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes (MIB Smithy SDK)

• When receiving traps under Unix with the nmtrapd/straps daemon, MIB Smithy could become partially hung by a short read condition until another trap was received.
• Added missing “-straps” option to the “$session cget” command. This option returns the current value for the -straps option, which allows disabling use of the nmtrapd/straps daemon under Unix.
