* Note that edits to the candidate database or locks will be lost
* To force the CLI to exit if backend restarts, undef `PROTO_RESTART_RECONNECT`
* This is an effect of the fix of [Broken pipe error seen in client (cli) when backend restarts and CLICON_SOCK is recreated](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/312), the CLI behavior on backend restart is changed.
* Added `eof` parameter to `clicon_rpc()` and `clicon_rpc1()` and error handling modified
* Added ancestor config cache indicating wether the node or an ancestor is config false or true
* Improved yang cardinality lookup
* Added yang_init(), called from all apps using yang
* Some openconfig specs seem to have use/when before a "config" which it depends on. This leads to XML encoding being in the "wrong order.
* When parsing, clixon now sorts container/list statements so that sub-statements with WHEN are put last.
* See [Statements given in "load set" are order dependent](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/287)
* Fixed: [Statements given in "load set" are order dependent](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/287)
* Example, assume XML: `<s><![CDATA[ z > x & x < y ]]></s>`
* Previous bevavior:
* JSON: {"s":" z > x & x < y "}
* New behavior:
* JSON: `{"s":"<![CDATA[ z > x & x < y ]]>"}`
* To keep old behavior, set `JSON_CDATA_STRIP` in clixon_custom.h
NETCONF hello errors, such as wrong session-id, prefix, namespace terminates session
* Instead of returning an rpc-error reply
Changed YANG PATCH enabling:
* Now: `./configure --enable-yang-patch`
* Before: set YANG_PATCH constant in `include/clixon_custom.h`
Refactored Makefile for static linking
- 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
* 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
* 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)
* Reduced memory for attribute and body objects, see `XML_NEW_DIFFERENTIATE` compile-time option.
* Optimized cbuf handling in parsing and xml2cbuf functions.
* Optimized xml scanner to read strings rather than single chars
* Optimized xml_merge for the case of disjunct trees.
* 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.
* 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
