### New features
* New process-control RPC feature in clixon-lib.yang to manage processes
* This is an alternative to manage a clixon daemon via sudtemd, containerd or other
* This is an alternative to manage a clixon daemon direct via systemd, containerd or other ways to manage processes
* One important special case is starting the clixon-restconf daemon internally
* This is how it works:
* Register a process via `clixon_process_register(h, name, namespace, argv, argc)`
* Use process-control RPC defined in clixon-lib.yang to start/stop/restart or query status on that process
* Enable in backend for restconf using `CLICON_BACKEND_RESTCONF_PROCESS`.
* More YANG extension functionality,
* See [Augment auto-cli for hiding/modifying cli syntax #156](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/156) and [hiding auto-generated CLI entries #153](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/153)
* Extensions can be used in augmentations
* Extension `autocli-op` has been added to add "hidden" commands in the autocli
* Enable in backend for starting restconf internally using `CLICON_BACKEND_RESTCONF_PROCESS`.
* New YANG extension functionality: mark YANG and use in plugins
* Documentation: https://clixon-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/misc.html#extensions
* Restconf configuration has a new configure model: `clixon-restconf.yang` enabling more flexible socket config
* As one usage of this extensions, the `autocli-op` extension has been added to annotate YANG with autocli properties, "hidden" commands being the first function.
* See [Augment auto-cli for hiding/modifying cli syntax #156](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/156) and [hiding auto-generated CLI entries #153](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/153)
* New restconf configuration model: `clixon-restconf.yang`
* The new restconf config, including addresses, authentication type, is set either in clixon-config local config or in backend datastore (ie running)
* This only applies to the evhtp restconf daemon, not fcgi/nginx, where the nginx config is used.
* The RESTCONF clixon-config options are obsolete
* Thanks to Dave Cornejo for the idea
* Initial NBMA functionality (thanks: @benavrhm): "ds" resource
### API changes on existing protocol/config features
Users may have to change how they access the system
* Error-type changed from protocol to application for data-not-unique netconf/restconf errors
* New clixon-lib@2020-12-08.yang revision
* Added: autocli-op extension (see new features)
* Added: rpc process-control for process/daemon management
* New clixon-config@2020-11-03.yang revision
* Added CLICON_BACKEND_RESTCONF_PROCESS
* Copied to clixon-restconf.yang and marked as obsolete:
- CLICON_RESTCONF_IPV4_ADDR
- CLICON_RESTCONF_IPV6_ADDR
- CLICON_RESTCONF_HTTP_PORT
- CLICON_RESTCONF_HTTPS_PORT
- CLICON_SSL_SERVER_CERT
- CLICON_SSL_SERVER_KEY
- CLICON_SSL_CA_CERT
* Removed obsolete option CLICON_TRANSACTION_MOD";
* Added `CLICON_BACKEND_RESTCONF_PROCESS`
* Moved to clixon-restconf.yang, still remains but marked as obsolete:
- `CLICON_RESTCONF_IPV4_ADDR`
- `CLICON_RESTCONF_IPV6_ADDR`
- `CLICON_RESTCONF_HTTP_PORT`
- `CLICON_RESTCONF_HTTPS_PORT`
- `CLICON_SSL_SERVER_CERT`
- `CLICON_SSL_SERVER_KEY`
- `CLICON_SSL_CA_CERT`
* Removed obsolete option 'CLICON_TRANSACTION_MOD`;
### C/CLI-API changes on existing features
Developers may need to change their code
* Auto-cli changed singature of `yang2cli()`.
* Added by-ref parameter to `ys_cv_validate()` returning which sub-yang spec was validated in a union.
* Auto-cli changed signature of `yang2cli()`.
* Added by-ref parameter to `ys_cv_validate()` returning sub-yang spec was validated in a union.
* Changed first parameter from `int fd` to `FILE *f` in the following functions:
* clixon_xml_parse_file(), clixon_json_parse_file(), yang_parse_file()
* See [Bytewise read() of files is slow #146](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/146)
* `clixon_xml_parse_file()`, `clixon_json_parse_file()`, `yang_parse_file()`
### Minor changes
* Added new revision of main example yang: `clixon-example@2020-12-01.yang`
* Initial NBMA functionality (thanks: @benavrhm): "ds" resource
* Support for building static lib: `LINKAGE=static configure`
* One usecase is coverage and fuzzing
* Change comment character to be active anywhere to beginning of _word_ only.
* ' # This is a comment', but ' This# is not a comment'
* See [Change CLIgen comments](https://github.com/clicon/cligen/issues/55)
* Improved performance of parsing files as described in [Bytewise read() of files is slow #146](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/146), thanks: @hjelmeland
* Added new backend plugin: ca_pre-demon called if backend is daemonized just prior to forking.
* Added XPATH functions `position`
* Added new backend plugin: `ca_pre-demon` when backend is daemonized just prior to forking.
* Added XPATH function `position`
