* The new callback contains parameters for paging
* Goal is to replace ca_statedata callback
* New plugin callback when lock/unlock occurs
* Add `ca_lockdb` tro plugin init to use it.
* Fixed: Typing 'q' in CLI more paging did not properly quit output
* Output continued but was not shown, for a very large file this could cause considerable delay
* Fixed: Lock was broken in first get get access
* if the first netconf operation to a backend was lock;get;unlock, the lock was broken in the first get access.
* Fixed: [Performance issue when parsing large JSON param](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/266)
* Moved strlen() from for end condition
* Fixed debugging of xpath parser
* 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
* 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
* If multiple strings (eg "\n" in text), indent before each new line
* Primarily for auto-cli where long help strings are generated from YANG descriptions, but applies as well for manual long/multi-line help strings
* New config option: `CLICON_CLI_HELPSTRING_TRUNCATE`: Truncate help string on right margin mode
* New config option: `CLICON_CLI_HELPSTRING_LINES`: Limit of number of help strings to show
* NACM recovery user session is now properly enforced. This means that if `CLICON_NACM_CREDENTIALS` is `except` (default), then a specific `CLICON_NACM_RECOVERY_USER` can make any edits and bypass NACM rules.
* If a default value is replaced by an actual value, RESTCONF return values have changed from `204 No Content` to `201 Created`
* clixon-config.yang: Removed default valude of CLICON_NACM_RECOVERY_USER
* `clixon_netconf_error(category, xerr, msg, arg)` removed first argument -> `clixon_netconf_error(xerr, msg, arg)`
* Renamed utility function `clixon_util_insert()` to `clixon_util_xml_mod()` and added merge functionality.
* Fixed: Insertion of subtree leaf nodes were not made in the crrect place, always ended up last regardless of yang spec (if ordered-by system).
* `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()`
* If you have used, `ys`, add `xml_spec_set(x, ys)` after the statement
* If you have `xml_type_set(x, TYPE)` or `xml_prefix_set(x, PREFIX)` immediately after the statement, you can remove those and set them directly as: `xml_new(name, PREFIX, xp, TYPE)`
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
* 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.
