* 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
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.
* Reduced memory for attribute and body objects, see `XML_NEW_DIFFERENTIATE` compile-time option.
* Optimized cbuf handling in parsing and xml2cbuf functions.
* Optimized xml scanner to read strings rather than single chars
* Optimized xml_merge for the case of disjunct trees.
* `clixon_xml_parse_string()`
* `clixon_xml_parse_file()`
* New JSON parsing API, with same signature as XML parsing:
* `clixon_json_parse_string()`
* `clixon_xml_parse_file()`
* XML YANG binding API have been rearranged as follows:
* `xml_bind_yang_rpc()`
* `xml_bind_yang_rpc_reply()`
* `xml_bind_yang()`
* `xml_bind_yang0()`
* If you have used, `ys`, add `xml_spec_set(x, ys)` after the statement
* If you have `xml_type_set(x, TYPE)` or `xml_prefix_set(x, PREFIX)` immediately after the statement, you can remove those and set them directly as: `xml_new(name, PREFIX, xp, TYPE)`
* empty values of yang type `empty` are encoded as: `{"x":[null]}`
* empty string values are encoded as: `{"x":""}` (changed from `null` in 4.0 and `[null]` in 4.3)
* empty containers are encoded as: `{"x":{}}`
* empty elements in unknown/anydata/anyxml encoded as: `{"x":{}}` (changed from `{"x":null}`)
* C-code changes:
- Replaced stream uri:s w constants
- Replaced large debug print code with single clicon_log_xml
- Restconf put and post handling refactored using new parse API
w-level general upgrades and as a complement to module-specific upgrade.
* Called on startup after initial XML parsing, but before module-specific upgrades
* Enabled by definign the `.ca_datastore_upgrade`
* [General-purpose upgrade documentation](https://clixon-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backend.html#ge
neral-purpose)
* JSON parse error messages change from ` on line x: syntax error,..` to `json_parse: line x: syntax err
or`
* Unknown-element error message is more descriptive, eg from `namespace is: urn:example:clixon` to: `Fai
led to find YANG spec of XML node: x with parent: xp in namespace urn:example:clixon`.
* C-API parse and validation API more capable
* `xml_spec_populate` family of functions extended with three-value return values
* -1: error, 0: parse OK, 1: parse and YANG binding OK.
* `xml_parse` and `json_parse` API changes
* Three value returns: -1: error, 0: parse OK, 1: parse and YANG binding OK.
* Extended `xml_parse_file2` and `xml_parse_string2` extended API functions with all options available.
* New concept called `yang_bind` that defines how XML symbols are bound to YANG after parsing
* Existing API same except `xml_parse_file` `endtag` argument moved to `xml_parse_file2`
* C-API: Added instrumentation: `xml_size` and `xml_stats_get`.
* Fixed: Enabling modstate (CLICON_XMLDB_MODSTATE), changing a revision on a yang, and restarting made the backend daemon exit at start (thanks Matt)
* Also: ensure to load `ietf-yang-library.yang ` if CLICON_XMLDB_MODSTATE is set
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.
RFC 8040 Sec 3.1
* non-pretty print remove all spaces, eg `{"operations":{"clixon-example:client-rpc":[null]`
* Replaced JSON `null` with `[null]` as proper empty JSON leaf/leaf-list encoding.
* [Cannot write to config using restconf example #91](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/91)
* Updated restconf documentation (the example was wrong)
* [clixon-lib yang revision file name update #92](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/92)
* Clixon-lib yang file had conflicting filename and internal yang revision.
* This was only detected in the use-case when a whole dir was loaded.
* Inserted sanity check in all yang parse routines.
* Committed updated clixon-lib yang file that triggered the error
* 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.
* New xmldb_get1() returning actual cache - not a copy. This has lead to some householding instead of just deleting the copy
* xml_diff rewritten to work linearly instead of O(2)
* New xml_insert function using tree search. The new code uses this in insertion xmldb_put and defaults. (Note previous xml_insert renamed to xml_wrap_all)
* 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.
- Fix array_eval() to allow sequential nodes that do not have
namepace nodes set as well as those that do.
- Fix comma placement in an array list where it was being dropped
between penultimate and last array elements.
Signed-off-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@netgate.com>
* 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).
* 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
