MIB Views 1.1 Release

Significant Changes

• Minor cosmetic changes, such as moving the icon for the filter field in the toolbar into the entry itself and platform-specific improvements.
• Several optimizations were made.
• Converted all SNMP requests to use asynchronous APIs for more immediate stops and improved GUI feedback such as status bar messages.
• Agent settings changes can now be canceled after pressing Ok without waiting for the initial request to time out.
• Improved integration of toolbar buttons with tools, such that their states are appropriate to the activity of the selected tab and/or all tabs.
• Pressing enter in the goto entry in the Tree View when the entry is blank now does nothing rather than displaying an error dialog.
• Using the Goto entry on a branch that is already open will now gather data from the branch without having to collapse and re-expand.
• Refactored several areas of code, dealing with tool interaction and implementation, towards eventual plugin support.
• Object values are now formatted according to their DISPLAY-HINT (if any) so that, for example, UTF-8 strings should display the appropriate glyphs rather than hex.
• Added TCP-MIB and UDP-MIB to the default set loaded at startup/installation.

Bug Fixes

• Trap Watch tool was displaying duplicate values in the trap details from the variable bindings, where it should have been displaying row index values.
• Clicking the refresh button in the Table View when no table had yet been scanned would result in an error.
• An “unknown variable allVarsList” error could occur in the Tree View when using the Goto entry.
