* Extra RPC:s will be called _after_ the basic ones.
* One specific usecase is hook for `copy-config` (see [doc/ROADMAP.md] that can be implemented thus way.
* `rpc_callback_register` added a namespace parameter. Example:
```
rpc_callback_register(h, empty_rpc, NULL, "urn:example:clixon", "empty");
```
* 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.
* 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`.
* For Example, adding bad-, missing-, or unknown-element error messages, etc instead of operation-failed
* Removed delete-config support for candidate db since it is not supported in RFC6241.
* Switched the order of `error-type` and `error-tag` in all netconf and restconf error messages to comply to RFC order.
* Added example_rpc RPC to example backend
* Renamed xml_namespace[_set]() to xml_prefix[_set]()
* Some restconf error messages contained "rpc-reply" or "rpc-error" which have now been removed.
* Netconf/Restconf RPC extra input arguments are ignored (https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/47)
* 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).
* 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.
* 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
* If you used old event callbacks API, you need to switch to the streams API
* See clixon_stream.[ch]
* Old streams API which needs to be removed include:
* clicon_log_register_callback()
* subscription_add() --> stream_register()
* backend_notify() and backend_notify_xml() - use stream_notify() instead
* Example uses "NETCONF" stream instead of "ROUTING"
* Added timeout option -t for clixon_netconf - quit after max time.
* Backend RPC register callback function (Netconf RPC or restconf operation POST) has been changed from: `backend_rpc_cb_register()` to `rpc_callback_register()`
* Backend RPC callback signature has been changed from: `int cb(clicon_handle h, cxobj *xe, struct client_entry *ce, cbuf *cbret, void *arg)` has been changed to : `int cb(clicon_handle h, cxobj *xe, struct client_entry *ce, cbuf *cbret, void *arg)`
* Frontend netconf and restconf plugins can register callbacks as well with same API as backends.
* For preparation for authorization RFC8341
* Plugins add clixon_plugin_init() and api struct for function pointers, eg:
```
static const struct clixon_plugin_api api = {
"example",
clixon_plugin_init,
...
}
clixon_plugin_api *clixon_plugin_init(clicon_handle h)
{
return (void*)&api;
}
```
* Moved specific plugin functions from apps/ to generic functions in lib/
* New generic plugin load function: clixon_plugins_load()
* Removed client-local netconf plugins netconf_plugin_callbacks()
* This was code used before generic YANG rpc calls
* Added username to clixon handle:
* clicon_username_get() / clicon_username_set()
* Added authentication plugin callback
* Removed some obscure plugin code that seem not to be used (please report if needed!)
* CLI parse hook
* CLICON_FIND_PLUGIN
* clicon_valcb()
* Removed username to rpc calls (added below)
for (eg cli_commitv). See clixon_cli_api.h for new names.
Use restconf format for internal xmldb keys. Eg /a/b=3,4
Changed example to use multiple cli callbacks
