RFC 8040 Sec 3.1
* non-pretty print remove all spaces, eg `{"operations":{"clixon-example:client-rpc":[null]`
* Replaced JSON `null` with `[null]` as proper empty JSON leaf/leaf-list encoding.
* [Cannot write to config using restconf example #91](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/91)
* Updated restconf documentation (the example was wrong)
* [clixon-lib yang revision file name update #92](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/92)
* Clixon-lib yang file had conflicting filename and internal yang revision.
* This was only detected in the use-case when a whole dir was loaded.
* Inserted sanity check in all yang parse routines.
* Committed updated clixon-lib yang file that triggered the error
* New clixon-lib@2019-08-13.yang revision
* Bugfix: If `ietf-netconf.yang` was imported from any yang module, client/backend communication stops working.
* Restconf RFC 8040 increased feature compliance
* Cache-Control: no-cache added in HTTP responses (RFC Section 5.5)
* Restconf monitoring capabilities (RFC Section 9.1)
* Added support for Yang extensions
* New plugin callback: ca_extension
* Main backend example includes example code on how to implement a Yang extension in a plugin.
* JSON changes
* Non-pretty-print output removed all extra spaces.
* Example: `{"nacm-example:x": 42}` --> {"nacm-example:x":42}`
* Empty JSON container changed from `null` to `{}`.
* Empty list and leafs remain as `null`
* Removed unnecessary configure dependencies
* libnsl, libcrypt, libm, if_vlan,...
* pseudo-plugin added, to enable callbacks also for main programs. Useful for extensions
* Yang Unique statements with multiple schema identifiers did not work on some platforms due to memory error.
* use `--with-yang-installdir=DIR` to install Clixon yang files in DIR
* use `--with-std-yang-installdir=DIR` to install standard yang files that Clixon may use in DIR
* Default is (as before) `/usr/local/share/clixon`
* The design is similar to bash history:
* The CLI loads/saves its complete history to a file on entry and exit, respectively
* The size (number of lines) of the file is the same as the history in memory
* Only the latest session dumping its history will survive (bash merges multiple session history).
* Tilde-expansion is supported
* Files not found or without appropriate access will not cause an exit but will be logged at debug level
* New config options: CLICON_CLI_HIST_FILE with default value `~/.clixon_cli_history`
* New config options: CLICON_CLI_HIST_SIZE with default value 300.
* clixon-config YAML file has new revision: 2019-03-05.
* New URN and changed top-level symbol to `clixon-config`
* Removed obsolete `_CLICON_XML_NS_STRICT` variable and `CLICON_XML_NS_STRICT` config option.
* Replaced all calls to (obsolete) `cli_output` with `fprintf`
* Added _experimental_ config option `CLICON_CLI_UTF8` default set to 0.
* CLIgen UTF8 does not work with scrolling and control editing
* Added -p <dir> command-line option to all programs: backend, cli, netconf, restconf.
* Moved and updated all standard ietf and iana yang files from example and yang/ to `yang/standard`.
* Renamed example yang from example.yang -> clixon-example.yang
* Renamed yang file `ietf-netconf-notification@2008-07-01.yang` to `clixon-rfc5277`.
* Cligen uses posix regex while yang uses XSD. It differs in some aspects. A translator function has been added for `\d` -> `[0-9]` translation, there may be more.
* [ietf-netconf-notification@2008-07-01.yang validation problem #62](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/62)
* For backward compatibility, load of startup and running set CLICON_XML_NS_STRICT to false temporarily.
* Added three-valued return values for several validate functions where -1 is fatal error, 0 is validation failed and 1 is validation OK.
* This includes: `xmldb_put`, `xml_yang_validate_all`, `xml_yang_validate_add`, `xml_yang_validate_rpc`, `api_path2xml`, `api_path2xpath`
* Added new xml functions for specific types: `xml_child_nr_notype`, `xml_child_nr_notype`, `xml_child_i_type`, `xml_find_type`.
* NACM module support (RFC8341 A1+A2)
* Recovery user "_nacm_recovery" added.
* Example use is restconf PUT when NACM edit-config is permitted, then automatic commit and discard are permitted using recovery user.
* Example user changed adm1 to andy to comply with RFC8341 example
* Yang code upgrade (RFC7950)
* RPC method input parameters validated
* see https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/4
* Correct XML namespace handling
* XML multiple modules was based on "loose" semantics so that yang modules were found by iterating thorugh namespaces until a match was made. This did not adhere to proper [XML namespace handling](https://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-xml-names-20091208), and causes problems with overlapping names and false positives. Below see XML accepted (but wrong), and correct namespace declaration:
```
<rpc><my-own-method></rpc> # Wrong but accepted
<rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> # Correct
<my-own-method xmlns="http://example.net/me/my-own/1.0">
</rpc>
```
* To keep old loose semantics set config option CLICON_XML_NS_ITERATE (true by default)
* XML to JSON translator support for mapping xmlns attribute to module name prefix.
* Default namespace is still "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"
* See https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/49
* Changed all make tags --> make TAGS
* Keyvalue datastore removed (it has been disabled since 3.3.3)
* debug rpc added in example application (should be in clixon-config).
* `CLICON_YANG_DIR` is changed from a single directory to a path of directories
* Note CLIXON_DATADIR (=/usr/local/share/clixon) need to be in the list
* CLICON_YANG_MAIN_FILE Provides a filename with a single module filename.
* CLICON_YANG_MAIN_DIR Provides a directory where all yang modules should be loaded.
* Change all @datamodel:tree to @datamodel in all CLI specification files
* If you generate CLI code from the model (CLIXON_CLI_GENMODEL).
* For backward compatibility, define CLICON_CLI_MODEL_TREENAME_PATCH in clixon_custom.h
* Removed return value ymodp from yang parse functions (eg yang_parse()).
* New config option: CLICON_CLI_MODEL_TREENAME defining name of generated syntax tree if CLIXON_CLI_GENMODEL is set.
* Improved unknown handling
* Configure option `CLICON_YANG_DIR` is changed from a single directory to a path of directories
* Note CLIXON_DATADIR (=/usr/local/share/clixon) need to be in the list
* Both a "native" stream support and one using nginx/nchan pub/sub.
* See (apps/restconf/README.md) for details.
* clixon-config YAML file has new revision: 2018-10-21.
://localhost/streams).
* Example: new stream "foo" will get access URL: https://localhost/streams/\
foo
* Optional pub/sub support enabled by ./configure --enable-publish
* Set publish URL base with: CLICON_STREAM_PUB_PREFIX (default http://local\
host/pub)
* Example: new stream "foo" will get pub URL: https://localhost/pub/foo
* Changed Netconf hello to single capabilty urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:yang-library:1.0 according to YANG 1.1 RFC7950 Sec 5.6.4.
* Set by option: CLICON_MODULE_LIBRARY_RFC7895 - enabled by default
* Option CLICON_MODULE_SET_ID is set and changed when modules change.
* Yang 1.1 feature and if-feature according to RFC 7950 7.20.1 and 7.20.2.
* See https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/41
* Features are declared via CLICON_FEATURE in the configuration file.
* logical combination of features not implemented, eg if-feature "not foo or
* Identity without any identityref:s caused SEGV
* Clarified semantics of main yang module:
* -y option to commands MUST specify filename
* CLICON_YANG_MODULE_MAIN MUST specify a module
* yang_parse() changed to take either filename or module name and revision.
* Removed clicon_dbspec_name[_set]().
* Use yang_main_module_name() instead.
* Replaced yang_spec_main with yang_spec_parse_module
* Added yang_spec_parse_file
