7.1.0

3 July 2024

multi-datastore, and many new configure options.

Features

  • RESTCONF notification for native mode
    • Previously only for FCGI
    • The following does not work: Regular subscription + stop-time
  • Optimization of yang schema mount: share yang-specs if all YANGs are equal
    • This reduces memory if many mount-points share YANGs
  • Changed datastore modstate to be last in file, as prior to 7.0
  • Event priority. Backend socket has higher prio
  • Multi-datastore
    • You can split configure datastore into multiple sub-files

      • CLICON_LOG_FILE: Which file to log to if file logging
      • CLICON_DEBUG: Debug flags
      • CLICON_YANG_SCHEMA_MOUNT_SHARE: Share same YANGs of several moint-points
      • CLICON_SOCK_PRIO: Enable socket event priority
      • CLICON_XMLDB_MULTI: Split datastore into multiple sub files
      • CLICON_CLI_OUTPUT_FORMAT: Default CLI output format
      • CLICON_AUTOLOCK: Implicit locks

API changes on existing protocol/config features

Users may have to change how they access the system

  • Changed intermediate version numbers to be git-style, eg 7.0.0-39 instead of 7.1.0-PRE
  • If CLICON_XMLDB_MULTI is set, datastores are stored in a new directory
    • Previously: CLICON_XMLDB_DIR/<db>_db
    • New: CLICON_XMLDB_DIR/<db>d/
    • In particular, the top-level is moved from <db>_db to <db>.d/0.xml
    • Backward-compatible:
      • If backend is started with -s startup or -s running then <db>_db is read if <db>.d/0.xml is not found
  • Autoconf: Openssl mandatory for all configure, not only restconf, due to digest code

C/CLI-API changes on existing features

Developers may need to change their code

  • XML encoding added a quotes parameter for attribute encoding, update as follows:
    • xml_chardata_encode(e, fmt,...) --> xml_chardata_encode(e, 0, fmt,...)
    • xml_chardata_cbuf_append(cb, str) --> xml_chardata_cbuf_append(cb, 0, str)
