Improved diff algorithm for XML and TEXT/curly, replaced UNIX diff with structural in-mem algorithm
Fixed: ["show compare" and "show compare | display cli" differs #23](https://github.com/clicon/clixon-controller/issues/23)
Changed parameters of example clispec function `compare_dbs()`
Added show2cbuf functions for TEXT/CLI
Renamed clixon_txt2file to clixon_text2file
Extended cli_auto_show() with with-defaults argument, also changing its signature
Example: Added with-defaults argument to clispec
C-API: Added with-defaults argument to clicon_rpc_get_config
Replaced with-defaults prefix/namespace with constants
* Instead of using prefixes for augmented XML, assign the default namespace
Test: moved datastore format tests from test_cli to new test_datastore_format
Added support for list x y;
Uses a mechanism to parse as unknown XML body and post-parsing replace with list keys
Fixed example and test to work with new TEXT syntax
* Some openconfig specs seem to have use/when before a "config" which it depends on. This leads to XML encoding being in the "wrong order.
* When parsing, clixon now sorts container/list statements so that sub-statements with WHEN are put last.
* See [Statements given in "load set" are order dependent](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/287)
* Fixed: [Statements given in "load set" are order dependent](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/287)
* 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
* 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)
* Removed xml-stats non-config data (replaced by rpc `stats` in clixon-lib.yang)
* Added option `CLICON_YANG_UNKNOWN_ANYDATA` to treat unknown XML (wrt YANG) as anydata.
* 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()`
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.
* 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.
* The design is similar to bash history:
* The CLI loads/saves its complete history to a file on entry and exit, respectively
* The size (number of lines) of the file is the same as the history in memory
* Only the latest session dumping its history will survive (bash merges multiple session history).
* Tilde-expansion is supported
* Files not found or without appropriate access will not cause an exit but will be logged at debug level
* New config options: CLICON_CLI_HIST_FILE with default value `~/.clixon_cli_history`
* New config options: CLICON_CLI_HIST_SIZE with default value 300.
* 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.
* 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
* 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
