* 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.
The reason is to be conservative with the API. However, less used functions, such as xpath_vec_bool(), xpath_vec_ctx() and xpath_vec_flag() are changed with a new `nsc`parameter, which should be set to NULL in most cases.
* See [Restconf does not handle startup datastore according to the RFC](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/74)
* Netconf Startup feature is no longer hardcoded, you need to explicitly enable it (See RFC 6241, Section 8.7)
* Enable in config file with: `<CLICON_FEATURE>ietf-netconf:startup</CLICON_FEATURE>`, or use `*:*`
* Added clicon_socket_set() and clicon_socket_get() functions for cleaning up backend server and restconf FCGI socket on termination.
* Removed obsolete `-x` command-line option to clixon_cli.
* Moved datastore/text/ code to datastore/ since there is only one type of datastore.
* Added "magic script line" to test script for sourced and scriped exits
* Added -p <dir> command-line option to all programs: backend, cli, netconf, restconf.
* Moved and updated all standard ietf and iana yang files from example and yang/ to `yang/standard`.
* Renamed example yang from example.yang -> clixon-example.yang
* Renamed yang file `ietf-netconf-notification@2008-07-01.yang` to `clixon-rfc5277`.
* Cligen uses posix regex while yang uses XSD. It differs in some aspects. A translator function has been added for `\d` -> `[0-9]` translation, there may be more.
* [ietf-netconf-notification@2008-07-01.yang validation problem #62](https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/62)
* `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.
* Improved unknown handling
* Configure option `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
* RFC8040 Restconf replay support: start-time and stop-time query parameter support
* This only applies to "native" restconf stream support, Nchan mode has different replay functionality
* RFC5277 Netconf replay support using <startTime> and
* Replay support is only in-memory and not persistent. External time-series DB could be added.
* Both a "native" stream support and one using nginx/nchan pub/sub.
* See (apps/restconf/README.md) for details.
* clixon-config YAML file has new revision: 2018-10-21.
* Except clixon-config module due to bug reported below
* Bug: Top-level Yang symbol cannot be called "config" in any imported yang file.
* datastore uses "config" as reserved keyword for storing any XML whoich collides with code for detecting Yang sanit
* Added urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:yang-library:1.0
* Thanks SCadilhac for helping out, see https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/39
* uri_percent_encode() and xml_chardata_encode() changed to use stdarg parameters
://localhost/streams).
* Example: new stream "foo" will get access URL: https://localhost/streams/\
foo
* Optional pub/sub support enabled by ./configure --enable-publish
* Set publish URL base with: CLICON_STREAM_PUB_PREFIX (default http://local\
host/pub)
* Example: new stream "foo" will get pub URL: https://localhost/pub/foo
* Changed Netconf hello to single capabilty urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:yang-library:1.0 according to YANG 1.1 RFC7950 Sec 5.6.4.
* Set by option: CLICON_MODULE_LIBRARY_RFC7895 - enabled by default
* Option CLICON_MODULE_SET_ID is set and changed when modules change.
* Yang 1.1 feature and if-feature according to RFC 7950 7.20.1 and 7.20.2.
* See https://github.com/clicon/clixon/issues/41
* Features are declared via CLICON_FEATURE in the configuration file.
* logical combination of features not implemented, eg if-feature "not foo or
* Identity without any identityref:s caused SEGV
* Clarified semantics of main yang module:
* -y option to commands MUST specify filename
* CLICON_YANG_MODULE_MAIN MUST specify a module
* yang_parse() changed to take either filename or module name and revision.
* Removed clicon_dbspec_name[_set]().
* Use yang_main_module_name() instead.
* Replaced yang_spec_main with yang_spec_parse_module
* Added yang_spec_parse_file
* If you used old event callbacks API, you need to switch to the streams API
* See clixon_stream.[ch]
* Old streams API which needs to be removed include:
* clicon_log_register_callback()
* subscription_add() --> stream_register()
* backend_notify() and backend_notify_xml() - use stream_notify() instead
* Example uses "NETCONF" stream instead of "ROUTING"
* Added timeout option -t for clixon_netconf - quit after max time.
* That is, limited support of: ietf-yang-library.yang
* For example: `<module><name>example</name><revision/></module><module><name>ietf-restconf-monitoring</name><revision>2017-01-26</revision></module>...`
* Comply to RFC 8040 3.5.3.1 rule: api-identifier = [module-name ":"] identifier
* The "module-name" was a no-op before.
* This means that there was no difference between eg: GET /restconf/data/ietf-yang-library:modules-state and GET /restconf/data/XXXX:modules-state
* 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
* Backend RPC register callback function (Netconf RPC or restconf operation POST) has been changed from: `backend_rpc_cb_register()` to `rpc_callback_register()`
* Backend RPC callback signature has been changed from: `int cb(clicon_handle h, cxobj *xe, struct client_entry *ce, cbuf *cbret, void *arg)` has been changed to : `int cb(clicon_handle h, cxobj *xe, struct client_entry *ce, cbuf *cbret, void *arg)`
* Frontend netconf and restconf plugins can register callbacks as well with same API as backends.
* 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)
