#SNMP Design: Release Notes for 1.5 (TwinTower)

Well, this release takes much longer than we expected even though luckily Steve joined me. But I am sure that it worth the while because finally we have more features implemented in the suite.

The key changes are,

  • SNMP v2c support is almost complete. So now we have GET BULK, INFORM and so on in the library.
  • Manager component API is adjusted. Finally we have better overloading methods exposed.
  • Experimental Agent component API is designed. Although it only provides limited functionalities, you can use it as a start point for your SNMP agent applications.
  • Limited thread-safe support is added. Static methods of Manager component are now thread-safe.
  • #SNMP MIB Browser is created. It offers basic features so you can load MIB documents and try to manipulate the managed objects.
  • #SNMP Library now supports both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. Experimental support for .NET Compact Framework 3.5 is also added.
  • Experimental #SNMP MIB Compiler is created.
  • Bug fixes and other enhancements.

I think now we are pretty close to the release date so it is time to publish this information ahead. Stay tuned.
