 ### Corrected Bugs
 
+* Fixed [changing interface name not support with openconfig module #195](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/195)
 * Fixed [making cli_show_options's output more human readable #199](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/199)
 * Fixed Yang parsing of comments in (extension) unknown statements, to allow multiple white space
   * this also caused spaces to be printed to stdout after clixon-restconf was terminated
