Bug Fixes (MIB Smithy)

• An error could occur when copying a variation record due the above in addition to an incorrect option being specified.
• XML output was not being encoded in UTF-8, which (due to the lack of encoding specification in the header) could render the output invalid if non-UTF-8 characters were in comments. The output is now encoded in UTF-8 and UTF-8 is specified as the encoding in the header (just in case, since it is the default).

Bug Fixes (MIB Smithy SDK)

• Setting a variation’s WRITE-SYNTAX property (-write-syntax) was taking its value from the -syntax option instead, deleting it if -syntax wasn’t specified.
• Querying a variation’s -syntaxdecl or -write-syntaxdecl properties, when none was configured, would return ‘syntax “”‘ rather than an empty string as specified in the documentation.

The SDK’s “smilib get -indexparts” OID parser was sometimes returning corrupted information for OCTET STRING indexes in converting to hex. The problem is fixed in this patch release.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes (MIB Smithy)

• An error could occur when adding a symbol with OID to a module’s imports list when that symbol was the first to be added.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes (MIB Smithy SDK)

• The “snmplib cget -localport” result was not being converted to host byte order before returning the configured value, which would report a different value than actually configured on some platforms.
• Using OIDs in the imports to disambiguate module references could result in a crash on exit or removing the module due to a doubly-freed pointer resulting from earlier parser changes.
• The warning/sometimes error regarding index objects that may cause an instance’s OID to exceed 128 subidentifiers is now always a warning.

Certain optional MIB record fields specified with an empty string could lead to a crash rather than the intended warning. The problem is fixed in this patch release.

Record comment associations were inadvertently broken during parser changes in 2.4 made to add additional error recovery capabilities. The problem is fixed in this patch release.
