This commit adds a sanity check of the test script TIMEFN, which is by
default 'time -p', for the scripts that define it. The scripts are
currently written such that if there is no 'time' executable, such as in
Debian 9, then some of the scripts fail and some don't but should. This
commit fixes that problem.
* 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.
* 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
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.
* Fixed multi-namespace for augmented state which was not covered in 4.2.0.
* The multi-namespace augment state may rearrange the XML namespace attributes.
* Mandatory variables can no longer be deleted.
* 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.
* Added check for libxml in configure';
* Added clixon_util_regexp utility function
* Yang state get improvements
* Integrated state and config into same tree on retrieval, not separate trees
* Added cli functions `cli_show_config_state()` and `cli_show_auto_state()` for showing combined config and state info.
* Added integrated state in the main example: `interface/oper-state`.
* Added performance tests for getting state, see [test/test_perf_state.sh].
