* 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)
* Builds and installs a new restconf library: libclixon_restconf.so and clixon_restconf.h
* The restconf library can be included by a restconf plugin.
* Example code in example/Makefile.in and example/restconf_lib.c
* Authorization
* Example extended with authorization
* Test added with http basic authorization (test/test_auth.sh)
* Documentation in FAQ.md
* README.md extended with new yang, netconf, restconf, datastore, and auth sections.
statements and identifying them as extensions or not. However,
semantics for specific extensions must still be added.
* Renamed ytype_id and ytype_prefix to yarg_id and yarg_prefix, respectively
* Added cli_show_version()
* Backend startup modes prior to 3.3.3. As enabled with `configure --with-startup-compat`. Configure option CLICON_USE_STARTUP_CONFIG is also obsoleted.
* Configuration files (non-XML) prior to 3.3.3. As enabled with `configure --with-config-compat`. The template clicon.conf.cpp files are also removed.
* Clixon XML C-lib prior to 3.4.0. As enabled with `configure --with-xml-compat`
Added CLICON_XMLDB_FORMAT option. Default is "xml". If set to "json", XML database files uses JSON format.
Escape " in JSON names and strings and values
