* This enables that RPOC handles can call commit and validate via lib
* The commit/validate API is now: `candidate_validate()` and `candidate_commit()`
This include plugin module init and exit functions
New type: clixon_plugin_t exposed via public API while struct clixon_plugin is private
- Makefile changes for static linkage using "LINKAGE=static"
- Moved nacm external init to later stage in backend_main
* This means that files and datastores supporting modstate also looks for deleted or updated yang modules.
* A stricter binding which gives error if loading outdated YANG file does not exist.
* Stricter yang checks: you cannot do get-config on datastores that have obsolete YANG
* Added xerr output parameter to `xmldb_get0()`
* Replaces the hardcoded "config" keyword.
* Implemented by a compile-time option called `DATASTORE_TOP_SYMBOL` option in clixon_custom.h
* Tests: added endtest to all tests. Removed all premature exits if BE=0
* Only requests on the form: `<rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"><edit-config>...` will be accepted
* All replies will be on the form: `<rpc-reply xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">...`
* Requests such as: `<rpc><edit-config>...` will not be accepted.
* You can revert this behaviour (to clixon pre-4.6 behaviour) by enabling `CLICON_NAMESPACE_NETCONF_DEFAULT`
* This API change is a consequence of: [copy-config's RPC cxobj parameter does not contain namespace #131](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/131)
* Changed commit lock error tag from "lock denied" to "in-use".
* Changed unlock error message from "lock is already held" to #lock not active" or "lock held by other session".
* Fixed [lock candidate succeeded even though it is modified #110](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/110)
* In summary, a user registers an upgrade callback per module. The callback is called at startup if the module is added, has been removed or if the revision on file is different from the one in the system.
* The register function has removed `from` and `rev` parameters: `upgrade_callback_register(h, cb, namespace, arg)`
* The callback function has a new `op` parameter with possible values: `XML_FLAG_ADD`, `XML_FLAG_CHANGE` or `XML_FLAG_CHANGE`: `clicon_upgrade_cb(h, xn, ns, op, from, to, arg, cbret)`
* Added: stats RPC for clixon XML and memory statistics.
* Added: restart-plugin RPC for restarting individual plugins without restarting backend.
* xml-stats moved from clixon-config.yang as state data to an rpc `datastats` in clixon-lib.yang
* Experimental: restart_plugin
* Two new plugin callbacks added
* ca_daemon: Called just after a server has "daemonized", ie put in background.
* ca_trans_commit_done: Called when all plugin commits have been done.
* Note: If you have used "end" callback and usign transaction data, you should probably use this instead.
* Two new plugin callbacks added
* ca_daemon: Called just after a server has "daemonized", ie put in background.
* ca_trans_commit_done: Called when all plugin commits have been done.
* `clixon_xml_parse_string()`
* `clixon_xml_parse_file()`
* New JSON parsing API, with same signature as XML parsing:
* `clixon_json_parse_string()`
* `clixon_xml_parse_file()`
* XML YANG binding API have been rearranged as follows:
* `xml_bind_yang_rpc()`
* `xml_bind_yang_rpc_reply()`
* `xml_bind_yang()`
* `xml_bind_yang0()`
w-level general upgrades and as a complement to module-specific upgrade.
* Called on startup after initial XML parsing, but before module-specific upgrades
* Enabled by definign the `.ca_datastore_upgrade`
* [General-purpose upgrade documentation](https://clixon-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backend.html#ge
neral-purpose)
* JSON parse error messages change from ` on line x: syntax error,..` to `json_parse: line x: syntax err
or`
* Unknown-element error message is more descriptive, eg from `namespace is: urn:example:clixon` to: `Fai
led to find YANG spec of XML node: x with parent: xp in namespace urn:example:clixon`.
* C-API parse and validation API more capable
* `xml_spec_populate` family of functions extended with three-value return values
* -1: error, 0: parse OK, 1: parse and YANG binding OK.
* `xml_parse` and `json_parse` API changes
* Three value returns: -1: error, 0: parse OK, 1: parse and YANG binding OK.
* Extended `xml_parse_file2` and `xml_parse_string2` extended API functions with all options available.
* New concept called `yang_bind` that defines how XML symbols are bound to YANG after parsing
* Existing API same except `xml_parse_file` `endtag` argument moved to `xml_parse_file2`
* C-API: Added instrumentation: `xml_size` and `xml_stats_get`.
* Fixed: Enabling modstate (CLICON_XMLDB_MODSTATE), changing a revision on a yang, and restarting made the backend daemon exit at start (thanks Matt)
* Also: ensure to load `ietf-yang-library.yang ` if CLICON_XMLDB_MODSTATE is set
* Fixed multi-namespace for augmented state which was not covered in 4.2.0.
* The multi-namespace augment state may rearrange the XML namespace attributes.
* Mandatory variables can no longer be deleted.
* This occurs in cases where there are more than one XML namespaces in a config tree, such as `augment`:ed trees.
* Affects all parts of the system, including datastore, backend, restconf and cli.
* Invalid api-path syntax (eg non-matching yang) error changed from 412 operation-failed to 400 Bad request invalid-value, or unknown-element.
