Suggested Improvements

This is a list of the suggested improvements as of the release of version 2.5 (2004-10-26). The most up-to-date version of this list is available from the project bug tracker.

• Support strict SMIv1 and SMIv2 parsing
  When parsing SMIv1 files, no symbols or constructs from SMIv2 should be available. The opposite goes for SMIv2 files. Bug #4367
• Create unit tests
  All the source code should be tested automatically through JUnit or a similar tool. This is a minor issue, however, as the complete library is always tested with all the IETF MIB files on each build. Bug #4368
• Add SNMP client capabilities
  The Mibble library currently has no support for SNMP agents or clients. It is possible to integrate with SNMP4J or the WestHawk SNMP stack to provide this. Bug #6317
• Validate SEQUENCE element types
  The types in a SEQUENCE should be validated against their counterparts if also defined separately. Bug #6547
• Add object serialization
  There is currently no easy way to store the state of a loaded Mib, so the same files have to be parsed every time which may be time consuming. By adding object serialization or similar this might be faster. Bug #6960
• Add error recovery for missing imports
  Currently Mibble reports errors and fails loading of MIB files containing symbols that have not been properly imported. Bug #7113
• Support rarely used ASN.1 types and constraints
  There are several rarely used ASN.1 type and constraint constructs that have not been implemented in Mibble. These include SET, SET OF, ANY and the ENUMERATED types. None of these are used in SNMP MIB files. Bug #8093

Mibble 2.5 (2004-10-26). See the Mibble web site for more information.
