- 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
* Except `CLICON_RESTCONF_DIR` which remains in clixon-config.yang due to bootstrapping
* -d <dir> option removed
* This applies to both evhtp and fcgi RESTCONF
* Both can also read config from backend, and be started from backend
* You may need to move config as follows (from clixon-config.yang to clixon-restconf.yang)
* CLICON_RESTCONF_PRETTY -> restconf/pretty
* CLICON_RESTCONF_PATH -> restconf/fcgi-path
* Not backward compatible: All uses of the ca-auth callback in restconf plugins must be changed
* New version is: `int ca_auth(h, req, auth_type, authp, userp)`
* where `auth_type` is the requested authentication-type (none, client-cert or user-defined)
* `authp` is the returned authentication flag
* `userp` is the returned associated authenticated user
* and the return value is three-valued: -1: Error, 0: ignored, 1: OK
* For more info see [clixon-docs](https://clixon-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/restconf.html)
* New clixon-restconf@2020-12-30.yang revision
* 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)
* Enforcing RFC 7950 Sec 7.6.1 means unassigned top-level leafs (or leafs under non-presence containers) are assigned default values.
* NACM default behaviour is read-only (empty configs are dead-lockedd)
* This applies if NACM is loaded and `CLICON_NACM_MODE` is `internal`
* Fixed: [default values don't show up in datastores #111](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/111)
threshold of quadratic and linear growth of CLIgen buffers (cbuf:s)
* Memory footprint
* Do not autopopulate namespace cache, instead use on-demand, see `xml2ns()`.
* Set CBUF start level to 256 (`CLICON_CLI_BUF_START` option)
* Reduced xml child vector default size from 4 to 1 with quadratic growoth to 64K then linear
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.
* 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.
* 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
