RELEASE NOTES

MIB Designer v1.9.1 (CHANGES since v1.9)

- Added: Edit->Search References menu and context menu
  to search MIB modules in the MIB repository for
  references to the selected object. This function
  can be used for example to make sure that changes to
  an object (name) do not break other modules.
- Added: Search option "Imports" where object references
  in IMPORT, MODULE-COMPLIANCE, and AGENT-CAPABILITIES
  can be searched. By prepending a MIB module name followed
  by a colon (':'), the search result can be narrowed to
  refernces to the given module name (which can be a
  regular expression too).
- Added: Default value editor for enumerations and BITS
  based syntaxes.
- Improved: SMI parser checks for default values, i.e.
  range checks.
- Added: SMI parser checks for syntax refinements.
- Improved: SMI parser checks for MODULE-COMPLIANCE, and
  AGENT-CAPABILITIES statements.
- Improved: SMI parser error messages.
- Improved: SMI parser performance for MIB modules with
  many object definitions.
- Changed: The rendundant function provided by the "Add"
  button on object selection lists has been removed for
  the benefit of easier selection of objects in the list.
  The use of selection boxes in such lists has been
  reduced.
- Updated: SNMP4J to version 1.0.3.
- Improved: Output format.
- Fixed: OBJECT clause was not correctly colored as clause
  for printing/syntax highlighting.
- Added: Tree state of the last edited MIB module is
  preserved.
- Changed: DEFVAL clauses can now also be specified for
  scalar objects by default.
- Fixed: MIB module sorting did not recognized import
  dependencies implied by MODULE-COMPLIANCE or AGENT-
  CAPABILITIES statements.
- Fixed: If BITS is imported, now an error is reported by
  the parser.
- Improved: Errors in IMPORTS clause can now be localized
  in tree.
- Improved: Leading and trailing hyphen is now automatically
  removed when MIB module name is edited and saved.
