* Fixed: YANG key list check bad performance
* List key check did unique "xpath" lookup instead of direct child traverse
* Fixed: YANG unique single schema-nodeid required "canonical" namespace
* E.g., `a/b` did not work even if there was default namespace in XML
* Memory leak in xpath parser
* Some complexities in Section 3.7 Lexical Structure of XPath 1.0 spec
* There used to be some cornercases where function-names could not be used as nodes
* For example, `node()` is a nodetest, so `/node/` caused an error.
* In the grammar these include: axisnames, nodetests, functionnames
* The NCNames vs functionnames is now impölemented according to the lexical structure section
* 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
* Example: `GET restconf/data/x:a=`
* Previous meaning (wrong): Return all `a` elements.
* New meaning (correct): Return the `a` instance with empty key string: "".
* [RESTCONF GET request of single-key list with empty string returns all elements #213](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/213)
* [RESTCONF GETof lists with empty string keys does not work #214](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/214)
* `count`, `name`, `contains`, `not`, as defined in [xpath 1.0](https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-10)
* `deref`, `derived-from` and `derived-from-or-self` from RFC7950 Section 10.
* in particular in augment/when statements
* Improved error handling
* Verification of XPath functions is done at startup when yang modules are loaded, not when XPaths are evaluated.
* Separation of "not found" and "not implemented" XPath functions
* Both give a fatal error (backend does not start).
Major New features
* New and updated search functions using xpath, api-path and instance-id
* New search functions using api-path and instance_id:
* C search functions: `clixon_find_instance_id()` and `clixon_find_api_path()`
* Binary search optimization in lists for indexed leafs in all three formats.
* This improves search performance to O(logN) which is drastical improvements for large lists.
* You can also register explicit indexes for making binary search (not only list keys)
* For more info, see docs at [paths](https://clixon-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/paths.html) and
[search](https://clixon-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/xml.html#searching-in-xml)
API changes on existing features (you may need to change your code)
* On failed validation of leafrefs, error message changed from: `No such leaf` to `No leaf <name> matching path <path>`.
* CLI Error message (clicon_rpc_generate_error()) changed when backend returns netconf error to be more descriptive:
* Original: `Config error: Validate failed. Edit and try again or discard changes: Invalid argument`
* New (example): `Netconf error: application operation-failed Identityref validation failed, undefined not derived from acl-base . Validate failed. Edit and try again or discard changes"
Minor changes
* Test framework
* Added `-- -S <file>` command-line to main example to be able to return any state to main example.
* Added `test/cicd` test scripts for running on a set of other hosts
* C-code restructuring
* clixon_yang.c partitioned and moved code into clixon_yang_parse_lib.c and clixon_yang_module.c and move back some code from clixon_yang_type.c.
* partly to reduce size, but most important to limit code that accesses internal yang structures, only clixon_yang.c does this now.
* NOTE: Due to an error in the previous implementation, all XPATH calls on the form `x[a=str]` where `str` is a string (not a number or XML symbol), must be changed to: `x[a='str'] or x[a="str"]`
* This includes all calls to `xpath_vec, xpath_first`, etc.
* All calls to cli_copy_config in CLI spec files must replace 2nd argument from `x[%s=%s]` to `x[%s='%s']`
* The old API is stillenabled. To define the new, define XPATH_USE_NEW in include/clixon_custom.h and recompile
* The previous XPATH imlementation was very restricted.
* The only function implemented is the Yang extension "current()". No other functions are implemented (eg last(), count()).
