* 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.
The reason is to be conservative with the API. However, less used functions, such as xpath_vec_bool(), xpath_vec_ctx() and xpath_vec_flag() are changed with a new `nsc`parameter, which should be set to NULL in most cases.
