/** * @page transition2_3 Transition Manual (2.x -> 3.0) * * [TOC] * * Non-backwards-compatible changes between libyang version 2 and 3 are rather minor and can be summarized as providing * structured error information (instead of a single message), unifying **lyd_new_*()** function options, and some * minor changes such as removing deprecated functions or making a few functions inlined. However, there is another * large change that has not affected the API, specifically configuration system-ordered lists and leaf-lists are now * ordered based on their keys/values, respectively. Except for moderately slower performance and negligible increased * memory requirements, it should not affect existing applications (assuming they do not rely on the previous order of * these instances). * * The complete generated list of changes (without any additional notes) can be found in * the compatibility report. * * @section transition2_3Logging Logging * * Except for some function adjustments, ::ly_err_item has been changed to provide every piece of error information in a * separate member to allow for easier processing. * * Here is the overview of the changed / removed / added functions connected to logging. * * libyang 2.x | libyang 3.0 | Notes * :-------------------------|:-------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------- * ly_last_errmsg() | ::ly_last_logmsg() | Function renamed with the same functionality. * ly_strerrcode() | ::ly_strerr() | Function renamed with the same functionality. * ly_errcode() | - | Now requires ::ly_err_last() call. * ly_errmsg() | - | ^ * ly_errpath() | - | ^ * ly_vecode() | - | ^ * * * * @section transition2_3New Data Creation * * libyang 2.x | libyang 3.0 | Notes * :-------------------------|:-------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------- * lyd_find_xpath3() | ::lyd_find_xpath3() | Optional prefix data parameter added. * LYD_NEW_PATH_OUTPUT | ::LYD_NEW_VAL_OUTPUT | Some LYD_NEW_PATH_* options now also used for other lyd_new_* functions. * LYD_NEW_PATH_BIN_VALUE | ::LYD_NEW_VAL_BIN | ^ * LYD_NEW_PATH_CANON_VALUE | ::LYD_NEW_VAL_CANON | ^ * lyd_new_path() | ::lyd_new_path() | All options now in a single bitmap parameter of @ref newvaloptions. * lyd_new_any() | ::lyd_new_any() | ^ * lyd_new_list() | ::lyd_new_list() | ^ * lyd_new_list2() | ::lyd_new_list2() | ^ * lyd_new_list3() | ::lyd_new_list3() | ^ * lyd_new_meta() | ::lyd_new_meta() | ^ * lyd_new_meta2() | ::lyd_new_meta2() | ^ * lyd_new_term() | ::lyd_new_term() | ^ * lyd_new_list3_bin() | ::lyd_new_list3() | Functionality now merged into the single function. * lyd_new_list3_canon() | ^ | ^ * lyd_new_list_bin() | ::lyd_new_list() | Functionality now merged into the single function. * lyd_new_list_canon() | ^ | ^ * lyd_new_term_canon() | ::lyd_new_term() | Functionality now merged into the single function. * * * * @section transition2_3Minor Other Minor Changes * * Except for the function changes below, ::lysc_type now has a copy of the typedef name, if applicable. There * are use-cases when this information is needed even in the compiled schema tree such as checking the real type of * a union value. * * libyang 2.x | libyang 3.0 | Notes * :-------------------------|:-------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------- * lyd_child() | ::lyd_child() | Now an inlined function for better performance. * lyd_get_value() | ::lyd_get_value() | ^ * lyd_parent() | ::lyd_parent() | ^ * lyd_find_xpath4() | ::lyd_find_xpath3() | Previous lyd_find_xpath3 was removed to reduce symbols. * lyd_target() | - | Deprecated. * ly_ctx_reset_latests() | - | ^ * */
