MIB Smithy 3.3 and SDK 3.3 Release

• Source port/address of received messages are no longer checked versus where the request was sent. In many cases, multi-IP systems will send responses from a different address, legally, and in those cases a background error would occur. Most SNMP stacks don’t do this check so it was somewhat non-standard. This checking can still be done manually using the -address and -port fields provided to callbacks.
• Two new chapters were added to the SDK Developer’s Guide on mapping Tnm/Scotty APIs to native MIB Smithy SDK APIs.
• The MIB Smithy SDK package now requires Tcl 8.4 or later rather than 8.1 or later. In reality, it has required at least 8.3 for some time due to use of Tcl APIs added in that version. The SDK could crash on load in earlier versions because of the missing stubs table entries for these APIs.
