* This is an alternative to manage a clixon daemon via sudtemd, containerd or other
* One important special case is starting the clixon-restconf daemon internally
* This is how it works:
* Register a process via `clixon_process_register(h, name, namespace, argv, argc)`
* Use process-control RPC defined in clixon-lib.yang to start/stop/restart or query status on that process
* Example code in the main example
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.
RFC 8040 Sec 3.1
* non-pretty print remove all spaces, eg `{"operations":{"clixon-example:client-rpc":[null]`
* Replaced JSON `null` with `[null]` as proper empty JSON leaf/leaf-list encoding.
* [Cannot write to config using restconf example #91](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/91)
* Updated restconf documentation (the example was wrong)
* [clixon-lib yang revision file name update #92](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/92)
* Clixon-lib yang file had conflicting filename and internal yang revision.
* This was only detected in the use-case when a whole dir was loaded.
* Inserted sanity check in all yang parse routines.
* Committed updated clixon-lib yang file that triggered the error
* 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.
* use `--with-yang-installdir=DIR` to install Clixon yang files in DIR
* use `--with-std-yang-installdir=DIR` to install standard yang files that Clixon may use in DIR
* Default is (as before) `/usr/local/share/clixon`
* 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].
