New API is as follows:
* `clixon_xml2file()` - Print internal tree as XML to file
* `clixon_xml2cbuf()` - Print internal tree as XML to buffer
* `clixon_json2file()` - Print internal tree as JSON to file
* `clixon_json2cbuf()` - Print internal tree as JSON to buffer
* `clixon_cli2file()` - Print internal tree as CLI format to file
* `clixon_txt2file()` - Print internal tree as text format to file
* New automatic edit-mode design
* Control which modes to use with `edit-mode-default`
* Default is create edit-mode for all
* New edit-mode tree: @datamodelmode
* 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`
* First version of clixon-autocli.yang semantics
* Default rules for module exclusion, list-keywords, completion, treeref-state
* Specialized rules for compress and exclusion of modules
* See [autocli documentation](https://clixon-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html#autocli)
* Obsoleted and moved autocli config options from clixon-config.yang to clixon-autocli.yang as follows:
* `CLICON_CLI_GENMODEL`, use: `autocli/module-default=false` instead
* Removed `clicon_cli_genmodel()`
* `CLICON_CLI_GENMODEL_TYPE`, use `autocli/list-keyword-default` and compress rules instead)
* Removed `clicon_cli_genmodel_type()`
* `CLICON_CLI_GENMODEL_COMPLETION`, use `autocli/completion-default` instead
* Removed `clicon_cli_genmodel_completion()`
* `CLICON_CLI_AUTOCLI_EXCLUDE`, use `autocli/rule/operation=exclude` instead
* `CLICON_CLI_MODEL_TREENAME`, use constant `AUTOCLI_TREENAME` instead
* Removed `clicon_cli_model_treename()`
* New YANG functions: yang_single_child_type, yang_find_namespace_by_prefix, yang_str2key
* Changed return values of yang_find_prefix_by_namespace
* Merged `cli_cli2xml()` into `cli2xml()`
* Added lastkey argument to yang_key_match()
* Fixed segv in process-sigchld
* Added ietf-yang-library to CLICON_CLI_AUTOCLI_EXCLUDE default value
* Added yang_spec_print() function
* Fixed: [very slow execution of load_set_file #288](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/288)
* New `clixon-lib@2021-11-11.yang` revision
* Modified option: RPC stats extended with YANG stats
* Modified `clixon-config@2021-11-11.yang` revision
* Added option:
* CLICON_PLUGIN_CALLBACK_CHECK
* Enable to make plugin context check before and after all callbacks.
* Added statistics for YANG: number of objects and memory used
* Use the treeref no-copy option of CLIgen to reduce memory
* Refactored cli-generation/autocli-start code
* Refactored cligen glue functions to use cligen_eval directly (remove clicon_eval,clixon_cligen_eval)
- Changed logic on how to find clixon_restconf in pseudo plugin
- Removed ==== in constants to avoid conflict with git merge
- Remove assert
- Added fuzzing for netconf
* Fixed: [Performance issue when parsing large JSON param](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/266)
* Moved strlen() from for end condition
* Fixed debugging of xpath parser
* 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)
* A generated clispec including state (default @datanodestate) also generated along with the config clispec tree (default @datanode)
* New mode `GT_HIDE` set by option `CLICON_CLI_GENMODEL_TYPE` to collapse non-presence containers that only contain a single list
* Added a prfix for cli_show_config/cli_show_auto so that it can produce parseable output
* Thanks dcornejo@netgate.com for trying it out and suggestions
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.
