* The existing autocli does not support modes, complete paths must be given, eg: `set a b c d 42`.
* In the new auto-cli, automatic modes are present at each YANG syntax node level, eg the above can be given as: `edit a b c; set d 4; top`
* The existing CLI API remains, the new API is as follows: `cli_auto_edit()`, `cli_auto_up()`, `cli_auto_top()`, `cli_auto_show()`, `cli_auto_set()`, `cli_auto_merge()`, `cli_auto_create()`, `cli_auto_del()`.
* See `test/test_cli_auto.sh` for an example of the new API, and `apps/cli/cli_auto.c` for the source code of the new callback API.
* Documentation will be appear and full integration with the main example.
* Added inline state field to clixon-example.yang
* Added new clicon_data_cvec_*() API for generic cvec structs
* Added: stats RPC for clixon XML and memory statistics.
* Added: restart-plugin RPC for restarting individual plugins without restarting backend.
* xml-stats moved from clixon-config.yang as state data to an rpc `datastats` in clixon-lib.yang
* Experimental: restart_plugin
* Two new plugin callbacks added
* ca_daemon: Called just after a server has "daemonized", ie put in background.
* ca_trans_commit_done: Called when all plugin commits have been done.
* Note: If you have used "end" callback and usign transaction data, you should probably use this instead.
* 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.
* Replaced all calls to (obsolete) `cli_output` with `fprintf`
* Added _experimental_ config option `CLICON_CLI_UTF8` default set to 0.
* CLIgen UTF8 does not work with scrolling and control editing
* `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
* CLICON_YANG_MAIN_FILE Provides a filename with a single module filename.
* CLICON_YANG_MAIN_DIR Provides a directory where all yang modules should be loaded.
* Change all @datamodel:tree to @datamodel in all CLI specification files
* If you generate CLI code from the model (CLIXON_CLI_GENMODEL).
* For backward compatibility, define CLICON_CLI_MODEL_TREENAME_PATCH in clixon_custom.h
* Removed return value ymodp from yang parse functions (eg yang_parse()).
* New config option: CLICON_CLI_MODEL_TREENAME defining name of generated syntax tree if CLIXON_CLI_GENMODEL is set.
* The previous XPATH imlementation was very restricted.
* The only function implemented is the Yang extension "current()". No other functions are implemented (eg last(), count()).
* Previous support did no validation of values.
* Validation of types and CLI expansion
* Example extended with inclusion of iana-if-type RFC 7224 interface identities
* CLICON_NACM_MODE config option, default is disabled.
* Added username attribute to all rpc:s from frontend to backend
* Added NACM backend module in example
* For preparation for authorization RFC8341
* Plugins add clixon_plugin_init() and api struct for function pointers, eg:
```
static const struct clixon_plugin_api api = {
"example",
clixon_plugin_init,
...
}
clixon_plugin_api *clixon_plugin_init(clicon_handle h)
{
return (void*)&api;
}
```
* Moved specific plugin functions from apps/ to generic functions in lib/
* New generic plugin load function: clixon_plugins_load()
* Removed client-local netconf plugins netconf_plugin_callbacks()
* This was code used before generic YANG rpc calls
* Added username to clixon handle:
* clicon_username_get() / clicon_username_set()
* Added authentication plugin callback
* Removed some obscure plugin code that seem not to be used (please report if needed!)
* CLI parse hook
* CLICON_FIND_PLUGIN
* clicon_valcb()
* Removed username to rpc calls (added below)
