MIBBLE FEATURES
===============

Existing Features
-----------------

  This is a summary of the features currently present in Mibble.

    o Support for SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3
      The library contains support for all three SNMP versions. All 
      information read is accessible.

    o Proper import mechanism
      A MIB import is made for each referenced module. The standard 
      IETF RFC MIB:s are distributed with the library to allow easy 
      inclusion of all the standard MIB files.

    o Full access to all type information
      All the type and value information parsed is available to an 
      application through public methods in the encapsulating classes.

    o Detailed and precise error messages
      Messages generated when an error is found always describe the 
      problem with all required details. Error messages also contains 
      a short except from the MIB file.

    o Complete source code available
      The source code for the complete library is freely available 
      under a GNU GPL license. This makes it easy to check details in 
      the implementation or correct simple problems.

    o License allows usage in proprietary products
      The modified GNU GPL licence allows linking the unmodified 
      library to any proprietary source code and redistributing the 
      result. Any changes made to the library proper, however, must 
      be made freely available under the GNU GPL.


Upcoming Features
-----------------

  No commitment has been made regarding which new features will be 
  present in future releases. See the TODO-list (in bugs.txt) for a 
  the currently known future improvements.
