* Added new text syntax parsing and loading from CLI
* Unified text output functions to `xml2txt` and moved to clixon_text_syntax.[ch]
* The following are removed: `cli_xml2txt` and `xml2txt_cb`
* Text output format changed:
* Namespace/modulename added to top-level
* See [Support performant load_config_file(...) for TEXT format](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/324)
* Merge branch 'dcornejo-master'
* Broke out pagination callback API from state data callbacks
* New pagination callback API uses new dispatcher from netgate, thanks @dcornejo
* Register callback with: `clixon_pagination_cb_register()`
* Use accessor functions `pagination_offset()`, `pagination_limit()`, etc
* Reverted state data callback API to pre-5.3 (see C/CLI API changes below)
* Closer adherence to RFC 7950. Some of this is changed behavior, some is new feature.
* Essentially instead of looking at the referring leaf, context is referred(target) node
* Validation uses referred node
* Validation changed to use type of referred node, instead of just "string"
* Auto-cli
* Changed to use type of referred node for typecheck
* Completion uses referred node
* Required instance / less strict validation
* New: Leafrefs must refer to existing data leaf ONLY IF YANG `required-instance` is true
* Previous: All leafrefs must refer to existing data leaf node
* Fixed: [Autocli does not offer completions for leafref to identityref #254](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/254)
* This is an alternative to manage a clixon daemon via sudtemd, containerd or other
* One important special case is starting the clixon-restconf daemon internally
* This is how it works:
* Register a process via `clixon_process_register(h, name, namespace, argv, argc)`
* Use process-control RPC defined in clixon-lib.yang to start/stop/restart or query status on that process
* Example code in the main example
1. Added #ifdef extern "C" to public header files.
2. Changed variables that are key words in c++, to different names (like ns instead of namespace).
3. Changed char* to const char* for constant strings.
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.
* Changed Netconf hello to single capabilty urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:yang-library:1.0 according to YANG 1.1 RFC7950 Sec 5.6.4.
* Set by option: CLICON_MODULE_LIBRARY_RFC7895 - enabled by default
* Option CLICON_MODULE_SET_ID is set and changed when modules change.
* 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.
* 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()).
* Backend startup modes prior to 3.3.3. As enabled with `configure --with-startup-compat`. Configure option CLICON_USE_STARTUP_CONFIG is also obsoleted.
* Configuration files (non-XML) prior to 3.3.3. As enabled with `configure --with-config-compat`. The template clicon.conf.cpp files are also removed.
* Clixon XML C-lib prior to 3.4.0. As enabled with `configure --with-xml-compat`
