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
* Added `skiptop` parameter, if set only apply to children of a node, skip top node
* default is 0
* Functions are merged, ie removed and replaced with more generic functions
* `xml2json_cbuf()`: Added `skiptop` parameter: `xml2json_cbuf(..., int skiptop)`
* `xml2json()` and `xml2json_cb()` merged into `xml2json_file()` with `skiptop`
* Replace `xml2json(...)` with `xml2json_file(..., stdout, 0)`
* Replace `xml2json_cb(...)` with `xml2json_file(..., 0)`
* `clicon_xml2cbuf()`: Added `skiptop` parameter: `clicon_xml2cbuf(..., int skiptop)`
* `xml2cli()`: Added `skiptop` parameter: `xml2cli(..., int skiptop)`
* First hello is 1.0 EOM framing, then successing rpc is chunked framing
* See
* [Netconf framing](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/50), and
* [Clixon does not switch to chunked framing after NETCONF 1.1 is negotiated](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/314)
* C:
* Moved netconf framing code from netconf application to clixon lib
* Test:
* New expecteof_netconf and adjusted other expect scripts to handle NETCONF 1.1 framing
* Stricter checking of outgoing RPC replies from server
* See [RPC output not verified by yang](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/283)
* This lead to some corrections of RPC replies in system code
Install libnghttp2-devel in ubuntu and centos per required dependencies
Ignore case when checking XML declaration encoding value per W3C recommendations
Fix filter logic to follow RFC6241 (7.1, 7.7) and default to subtree
* 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)
* `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)`
* 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
The reason is to be conservative with the API. However, less used functions, such as xpath_vec_bool(), xpath_vec_ctx() and xpath_vec_flag() are changed with a new `nsc`parameter, which should be set to NULL in most cases.
* Extra RPC:s will be called _after_ the basic ones.
* One specific usecase is hook for `copy-config` (see [doc/ROADMAP.md] that can be implemented thus way.
* `rpc_callback_register` added a namespace parameter. Example:
```
rpc_callback_register(h, empty_rpc, NULL, "urn:example:clixon", "empty");
```
* 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.
* 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).
* Improved unknown handling
* Configure option `CLICON_YANG_DIR` is changed from a single directory to a path of directories
* Note CLIXON_DATADIR (=/usr/local/share/clixon) need to be in the list
* Both a "native" stream support and one using nginx/nchan pub/sub.
* See (apps/restconf/README.md) for details.
* clixon-config YAML file has new revision: 2018-10-21.
* Clarified semantics of main yang module:
* -y option to commands MUST specify filename
* CLICON_YANG_MODULE_MAIN MUST specify a module
* yang_parse() changed to take either filename or module name and revision.
* Removed clicon_dbspec_name[_set]().
* Use yang_main_module_name() instead.
* Replaced yang_spec_main with yang_spec_parse_module
* Added yang_spec_parse_file
* If you used old event callbacks API, you need to switch to the streams API
* See clixon_stream.[ch]
* Old streams API which needs to be removed include:
* clicon_log_register_callback()
* subscription_add() --> stream_register()
* backend_notify() and backend_notify_xml() - use stream_notify() instead
* Example uses "NETCONF" stream instead of "ROUTING"
* Added timeout option -t for clixon_netconf - quit after max time.
