* RFC 8528 yang schema mount-points:
* Made expand_dbvar and cli_dbxml mountpoint-aware (RFC 8528)
* autocli supportgenerate
* Made api_path2xml and xml2api_path mount-point-aware
* Temporar fix in clixon_custom.h: XPATH_CANONICAL_SKIP_CHECK
* `xml2xpath()`: Added `apostrophe` as 4th parameter, default 0
* removed extra assert.h includes
* Extension `autocli-op` obsoleted and no longer supported
* You need to change to use clixon-autocli `hide`and `hide-show` instead.
* Translate as follows:
* `cl:autocli-op hide` -> `autocli:hide`
* `cl:autocli-op hide-database` -> `autocli:hide-show`
* `cl:autocli-op hide-database-auto-completion` -> `autocli:hide; autocli:hide-show`
* 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)
* Several cases were not implemented fully according to RFC 7950
* Do not extend default values if when statements evaluate to false
* Do not allow edit-config of nodes if when statements evaluate to false (Sec 8.3.2)
* If a key leaf is defined in a grouping that is used in a list, the "uses" statement MUST NOT have a "when" statement. (See 7.21.5)
* See [yang uses's substatement when has no effect #218](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/2$
This include plugin module init and exit functions
New type: clixon_plugin_t exposed via public API while struct clixon_plugin is private
- Makefile changes for static linkage using "LINKAGE=static"
- Moved nacm external init to later stage in backend_main
* If fails, exit with error message, eg: `Yang error: Sanity check failed: LIST vsDataContainer lacks key statement which MUST be present (See RFC 7950 Sec 7.8.2)`
* Can be disabled by setting `CLICON_CLICON_YANG_LIST_CHECK` to `false`
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.
* 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.
* Added regex cache to type resolution
* Added compiled regexp parameter as part of internal yang type resolution functions
* All internal `ys_populate_*()` functions (except ys_populate()) have switched parameters: `clicon_handle, yang_stmt *)`
* 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)
