* 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.
* Accepted:
```
curl -X PUT http://localhost/restconf/data/mod:a -d {"mod:a":"x"}
```
* Not accepted (must prefix "a" with module):
```
curl -X PUT http://localhost/restconf/data/mod:a -d {"a":"x"}
```
* Undefine `RESTCONF_NS_DATA_CHECK` in include/clixon_custom.h to disable strict check.
* 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].
* Start with `-- -r` to run the reset plugin
* Start with `-- -s` to run the state callback
* Rewrote yang dir load algorithm to follow the algorithm in [FAQ](FAQ(doc/FAQ.md#how-are-yang-files-found) with more precise timestamp checks, etc.
* clixon-config YAML file has new revision: 2019-03-05.
* New URN and changed top-level symbol to `clixon-config`
* Removed obsolete `_CLICON_XML_NS_STRICT` variable and `CLICON_XML_NS_STRICT` config option.
* Added clicon_socket_set() and clicon_socket_get() functions for cleaning up backend server and restconf FCGI socket on termination.
* Removed obsolete `-x` command-line option to clixon_cli.
* Moved datastore/text/ code to datastore/ since there is only one type of datastore.
* Added "magic script line" to test script for sourced and scriped exits
* Access control points added for `get` and `get-config` in addition to incoming rpc.
* RFC 8341 Example A.2 implemented, see: [test/test_nacm_module.sh]
* Added `username` argument on `xmldb_put()` datastore function for NACM data-node write checks
* Added `xml_rootchild_node()` lib function as variant of `xml_rootchild()`
* Added -p <dir> command-line option to all programs: backend, cli, netconf, restconf.
* Moved and updated all standard ietf and iana yang files from example and yang/ to `yang/standard`.
* Renamed example yang from example.yang -> clixon-example.yang
* 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`.
* For Example, adding bad-, missing-, or unknown-element error messages, etc instead of operation-failed
* Removed delete-config support for candidate db since it is not supported in RFC6241.
* Switched the order of `error-type` and `error-tag` in all netconf and restconf error messages to comply to RFC order.
* Added example_rpc RPC to example backend
* Renamed xml_namespace[_set]() to xml_prefix[_set]()
* Some restconf error messages contained "rpc-reply" or "rpc-error" which have now been removed.
* Netconf/Restconf RPC extra input arguments are ignored (https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/47)
* NACM module support (RFC8341 A1+A2)
* Recovery user "_nacm_recovery" added.
* Example use is restconf PUT when NACM edit-config is permitted, then automatic commit and discard are permitted using recovery user.
* Example user changed adm1 to andy to comply with RFC8341 example
* Yang code upgrade (RFC7950)
* RPC method input parameters validated
* see https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/4
* Correct XML namespace handling
* XML multiple modules was based on "loose" semantics so that yang modules were found by iterating thorugh namespaces until a match was made. This did not adhere to proper [XML namespace handling](https://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-xml-names-20091208), and causes problems with overlapping names and false positives. Below see XML accepted (but wrong), and correct namespace declaration:
```
<rpc><my-own-method></rpc> # Wrong but accepted
<rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> # Correct
<my-own-method xmlns="http://example.net/me/my-own/1.0">
</rpc>
```
* To keep old loose semantics set config option CLICON_XML_NS_ITERATE (true by default)
* XML to JSON translator support for mapping xmlns attribute to module name prefix.
* Default namespace is still "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"
* See https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/49
* Changed all make tags --> make TAGS
* Keyvalue datastore removed (it has been disabled since 3.3.3)
* debug rpc added in example application (should be in clixon-config).
* Improved unknown handling
* Configure option `CLICON_YANG_DIR` is changed from a single directory to a path of directories
* Note CLIXON_DATADIR (=/usr/local/share/clixon) need to be in the list
