* Added `skiptop` parameter, if set only apply to children of a node, skip top node
* default is 0
* Functions are merged, ie removed and replaced with more generic functions
* `xml2json_cbuf()`: Added `skiptop` parameter: `xml2json_cbuf(..., int skiptop)`
* `xml2json()` and `xml2json_cb()` merged into `xml2json_file()` with `skiptop`
* Replace `xml2json(...)` with `xml2json_file(..., stdout, 0)`
* Replace `xml2json_cb(...)` with `xml2json_file(..., 0)`
* `clicon_xml2cbuf()`: Added `skiptop` parameter: `clicon_xml2cbuf(..., int skiptop)`
* `xml2cli()`: Added `skiptop` parameter: `xml2cli(..., int skiptop)`
* 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
* Load/save JSON config file did not work
* Added rfc7951 parameter to `clixon_json_parse_string()` and `clixon_json_parse_file()`
* If set, honor RFC 7951: JSON Encoding of Data Modeled with YANG, eg it requires module name prefixes
* If not set, parse as regular JSON
* Test: added test_db.sh for datastore format tests
* Applies to cli/netconf/restconf/client-api code
* Previous behaviour:
* Close socket after each rpc, but now keeps the socket open until the client terminates
* Kept locks over socket life-cycle, but according to RFC 6241 7.5 a lock should be relaeased when session ends
* `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
