I'm pleased to announce the availability of version 3.1 beta of MIB
Smithy SDK.

MIB Smithy SDK is a dynamic extension to Tcl/Tk (8.1+) that allows
development of custom scripts for controlling SNMP agents
and manipulating and converting MIB and PIB module specifications to
arbitrary formats. It is based on the core of Muonics' MIB Smithy
visual MIB/PIB editor/compiler environment and supports SMI versions 1
and 2, COPS-PR-SPPI, and SNMP versions 1 through 3 with authentication
and privacy, support for multiple discrete SMI databases and SNMP
sessions and all the built-in validation capabilities of MIB Smithy.

MIB Smithy SDK is supported on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and, with
this release, MacOS X.

Other significant changes in this release include:

- New memory management in the MIB parser and database that requires less
memory and fewer allocations/copies, improving MIB loading speed by
15 - 20%.

- Support for Scotty's nmtrapd/straps daemon for receiving traps on port
162 without requiring root privileges. An optional replacement for the
daemon is included that provides more configurability and is compatible
with both.

- Better suppression of some redundant compiler messages and additional
details and clarifications to others.

- Minor bug fixes.

Further details and a 15-day limited evaluation can be found at:
