- Change from RFC 7805: Remove revision if empty instead of sending empty revision
RFC 6022
- Added cli identity to RFC6022 transport
- Added source-host for natove restconf, bit no other sessions
Tests: ensure all netconf requests with identityref have declared namespaces.
* This is part of fixing [Yang identityref XML encoding is not general](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/90)
* Instead of using prefixes for augmented XML, assign the default namespace
Test: moved datastore format tests from test_cli to new test_datastore_format
* First hello is 1.0 EOM framing, then successing rpc is chunked framing
* See
* [Netconf framing](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/50), and
* [Clixon does not switch to chunked framing after NETCONF 1.1 is negotiated](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/314)
* C:
* Moved netconf framing code from netconf application to clixon lib
* Test:
* New expecteof_netconf and adjusted other expect scripts to handle NETCONF 1.1 framing
* Made NETCONF message handling more strict according to RFC 6241
* Set `CLICON_NETCONF_MESSAGE_ID_OPTIONAL` to true to accept omission of message-id attribute
* Fixed: [need make sure message-id exist in rpc validate #240](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/240)
- Fix event exit bug (set to new counter, dont increment)
- Changed default CI to be restconf=native instead of fcgi1~
- Tests:
- Change to same wait backend and restconf commands
- Change default restconf protocol from http to https
* Hello message semantics has been made stricter according to RFC 6241 Sec 8.1, for example:
* A client MUST send a <hello> element.
* Each peer MUST send at least the base NETCONF capability, "urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.1" (or 1.0 for RFC 4741)
* The netconf client will terminate (close the socket) if the client does not comply
* You can set `CLICON_NETCONF_HELLO_OPTIONAL` to true to use the old behavior of essentially ignoring hellos.
* New clixon-config@2020-03-08.yang revision
* Added: `CLICON_NETCONF_HELLO_OPTIONAL`
* The base capability has been changed to "urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.1" following RFC6241.
* 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
* 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
* Netconf split lines input (input fragments) fixed
* Netconf input split on several lines, eg using stdin: "<a>\nfoo</a>]]>]]>" could under some circumstances be split so that only "</a>]]>]]>" be properly processed. This could also happen to a socket receiving a sub-string and then after a delay receive the rest.
* Fixed by storing residue and add that to the input string if later input is received on the same socket.
* Use [https://github.com/clicon/libevhtp](https://github.com/clicon/libevhtp) instead of [https://github.com/criticalstack/libevhtp](https://github.com/criticalstack/libevhtp) as a source of the evhtp source
* Only requests on the form: `<rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"><edit-config>...` will be accepted
* All replies will be on the form: `<rpc-reply xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">...`
* Requests such as: `<rpc><edit-config>...` will not be accepted.
* You can revert this behaviour (to clixon pre-4.6 behaviour) by enabling `CLICON_NAMESPACE_NETCONF_DEFAULT`
* This API change is a consequence of: [copy-config's RPC cxobj parameter does not contain namespace #131](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/131)
* Changed commit lock error tag from "lock denied" to "in-use".
* Changed unlock error message from "lock is already held" to #lock not active" or "lock held by other session".
* Fixed [lock candidate succeeded even though it is modified #110](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/110)
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.
* Fixed multi-namespace for augmented state which was not covered in 4.2.0.
* The multi-namespace augment state may rearrange the XML namespace attributes.
* Mandatory variables can no longer be deleted.
* This occurs in cases where there are more than one XML namespaces in a config tree, such as `augment`:ed trees.
* Affects all parts of the system, including datastore, backend, restconf and cli.
* Invalid api-path syntax (eg non-matching yang) error changed from 412 operation-failed to 400 Bad request invalid-value, or unknown-element.
* 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].
* See [Restconf does not handle startup datastore according to the RFC](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/74)
* Netconf Startup feature is no longer hardcoded, you need to explicitly enable it (See RFC 6241, Section 8.7)
* Enable in config file with: `<CLICON_FEATURE>ietf-netconf:startup</CLICON_FEATURE>`, or use `*:*`
