* 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.
* Added check for libxml in configure';
* Added clixon_util_regexp utility function
* Yang state get improvements
* Integrated state and config into same tree on retrieval, not separate trees
* Added cli functions `cli_show_config_state()` and `cli_show_auto_state()` for showing combined config and state info.
* Added integrated state in the main example: `interface/oper-state`.
* Added performance tests for getting state, see [test/test_perf_state.sh].
* Change all y->ys_parent to yang_parent_get(y)
* Change all y->ys_keyword to yang_keyword_get(y)
* Change all y->ys_argument to yang_argument_get(y)
* Change all y->ys_cv to yang_cv_get(y)
* Change all y->ys_cvec to yang_cvec_get(y)
* Replaced all calls to (obsolete) `cli_output` with `fprintf`
* Added _experimental_ config option `CLICON_CLI_UTF8` default set to 0.
* CLIgen UTF8 does not work with scrolling and control editing
* For backward compatibility, load of startup and running set CLICON_XML_NS_STRICT to false temporarily.
* Added three-valued return values for several validate functions where -1 is fatal error, 0 is validation failed and 1 is validation OK.
* This includes: `xmldb_put`, `xml_yang_validate_all`, `xml_yang_validate_add`, `xml_yang_validate_rpc`, `api_path2xml`, `api_path2xpath`
* Added new xml functions for specific types: `xml_child_nr_notype`, `xml_child_nr_notype`, `xml_child_i_type`, `xml_find_type`.
* 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
* A typical call is: show @datamodel:example, cli_show_auto("candidate", "json");
* The example contains a more elaborate example.
* Thanks ngashok for request, see https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/24
* CLICON_NACM_MODE config option, default is disabled.
* Added username attribute to all rpc:s from frontend to backend
* Added NACM backend module in example
* For preparation for authorization RFC8341
* Plugins add clixon_plugin_init() and api struct for function pointers, eg:
```
static const struct clixon_plugin_api api = {
"example",
clixon_plugin_init,
...
}
clixon_plugin_api *clixon_plugin_init(clicon_handle h)
{
return (void*)&api;
}
```
* Moved specific plugin functions from apps/ to generic functions in lib/
* New generic plugin load function: clixon_plugins_load()
* Removed client-local netconf plugins netconf_plugin_callbacks()
* This was code used before generic YANG rpc calls
* Added username to clixon handle:
* clicon_username_get() / clicon_username_set()
* Added authentication plugin callback
* Removed some obscure plugin code that seem not to be used (please report if needed!)
* CLI parse hook
* CLICON_FIND_PLUGIN
* clicon_valcb()
* Removed username to rpc calls (added below)
statements and identifying them as extensions or not. However,
semantics for specific extensions must still be added.
* Renamed ytype_id and ytype_prefix to yarg_id and yarg_prefix, respectively
* Added cli_show_version()
