* Fixed: [Error message seen twice in some cases](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/325)
* Extended `-l` command-line option to all clixon commands with a `none` option, eg `-l n` directs logging to `dev/null`
* Note that edits to the candidate database or locks will be lost
* To force the CLI to exit if backend restarts, undef `PROTO_RESTART_RECONNECT`
* This is an effect of the fix of [Broken pipe error seen in client (cli) when backend restarts and CLICON_SOCK is recreated](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/312), the CLI behavior on backend restart is changed.
* Added `eof` parameter to `clicon_rpc()` and `clicon_rpc1()` and error handling modified
* Extension `autocli-op` obsoleted and no longer supported
* You need to change to use clixon-autocli `hide`and `hide-show` instead.
* Translate as follows:
* `cl:autocli-op hide` -> `autocli:hide`
* `cl:autocli-op hide-database` -> `autocli:hide-show`
* `cl:autocli-op hide-database-auto-completion` -> `autocli:hide; autocli:hide-show`
* First version of clixon-autocli.yang semantics
* Default rules for module exclusion, list-keywords, completion, treeref-state
* Specialized rules for compress and exclusion of modules
* See [autocli documentation](https://clixon-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html#autocli)
* Obsoleted and moved autocli config options from clixon-config.yang to clixon-autocli.yang as follows:
* `CLICON_CLI_GENMODEL`, use: `autocli/module-default=false` instead
* Removed `clicon_cli_genmodel()`
* `CLICON_CLI_GENMODEL_TYPE`, use `autocli/list-keyword-default` and compress rules instead)
* Removed `clicon_cli_genmodel_type()`
* `CLICON_CLI_GENMODEL_COMPLETION`, use `autocli/completion-default` instead
* Removed `clicon_cli_genmodel_completion()`
* `CLICON_CLI_AUTOCLI_EXCLUDE`, use `autocli/rule/operation=exclude` instead
* `CLICON_CLI_MODEL_TREENAME`, use constant `AUTOCLI_TREENAME` instead
* Removed `clicon_cli_model_treename()`
* New YANG functions: yang_single_child_type, yang_find_namespace_by_prefix, yang_str2key
* Changed return values of yang_find_prefix_by_namespace
* Merged `cli_cli2xml()` into `cli2xml()`
* Fixed: [very slow execution of load_set_file #288](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/288)
* New `clixon-lib@2021-11-11.yang` revision
* Modified option: RPC stats extended with YANG stats
* Modified `clixon-config@2021-11-11.yang` revision
* Added option:
* CLICON_PLUGIN_CALLBACK_CHECK
* Enable to make plugin context check before and after all callbacks.
* Added statistics for YANG: number of objects and memory used
* Use the treeref no-copy option of CLIgen to reduce memory
* Refactored cli-generation/autocli-start code
* Refactored cligen glue functions to use cligen_eval directly (remove clicon_eval,clixon_cligen_eval)
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
* The existing autocli does not support modes, complete paths must be given, eg: `set a b c d 42`.
* In the new auto-cli, automatic modes are present at each YANG syntax node level, eg the above can be given as: `edit a b c; set d 4; top`
* The existing CLI API remains, the new API is as follows: `cli_auto_edit()`, `cli_auto_up()`, `cli_auto_top()`, `cli_auto_show()`, `cli_auto_set()`, `cli_auto_merge()`, `cli_auto_create()`, `cli_auto_del()`.
* See `test/test_cli_auto.sh` for an example of the new API, and `apps/cli/cli_auto.c` for the source code of the new callback API.
* Documentation will be appear and full integration with the main example.
* Added inline state field to clixon-example.yang
* Added new clicon_data_cvec_*() API for generic cvec structs
* 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.
* 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.
* 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
