(October 30th 2006) RBAC module

When a change happens in the RBAC policy via the RBAC_Module, it is applied to the current sessions. For example, if a manager deletes a role, the role is deactivated in all sessions.

(October 26th 2006) XUpdate-based edit-config

A new operation is implemented in YencaP. It is a modification of edit-config to be compliant with XUpdate. This change is similar with the difference between subtree filtering and XPath. XUpdate is based on XPath. XUpdate clearly identifies the nodes to update and the command to perform and the new node values. All modules can now use this new operation to update their configuration.

(October 14th 2006) Modules

2.1.9 delegates more responsability to the modules. Running, candidate and startup are now managed in a more consistent way.

• Consequently, the Module interface has changed to support the source or target configuration (Running, Startup, Candidate)
• Messages (Module replies) should be a little bit more accurate.
• YencaP Manager web interface design has changed totally (new CSS stylesheet and intern refactoring).

(October 1st 2006) Improvement for cloning XML nodes

I extracted the generic part from the BGP_Module. It is called CLI_Module. If someone is candidate to make an OSPF module from it, you are welcome. It should inherit from CLI_Module and follow the same approach as BGP module. The great advantage is that the improvements done for CLI_Module benefit to all the sub modules !!

I replaced all occurences of:

• util.cloneNode(node, deep, newdocowner) with:
• newdocowner.importNode(importedNode, deep)
