v2.0.2

This release introduces a very basic concept of rollback configurations. It does a reverse comparison of the running config and generated config to produce a rollback remediation.

Here is a basic example:

>>> from hier_config import Host
>>> host = Host(hostname="aggr-example.rtr", os="ios")
>>> host.load_running_config_from_file("./tests/fixtures/running_config.conf")
>>> host.load_generated_config_from_file("./tests/fixtures/generated_config.conf")
>>> host.remediation_config()
HConfig(host=Host(hostname=aggr-example.rtr))
>>> rollback = host.rollback_config()
>>> for line in rollback.all_children_sorted():
...     print(line.cisco_style_text())
...
no vlan 4
no interface Vlan4
vlan 3
  name switch_mgmt_10.0.4.0/24
interface Vlan2
  no mtu 9000
  no ip access-group TEST in
  shutdown
interface Vlan3
  description switch_mgmt_10.0.4.0/24
  ip address 10.0.4.1 255.255.0.0
>>>

v2.0.1

#87 adds default options to hier_config. This allows a person to load a set of sain defaults, but still gives them the ability to extend the options as necessary.

Instead of doing:

>>> import yaml
>>>
>>> options = yaml.load(open('./tests/fixtures/options_ios.yml'), Loader=yaml.SafeLoader)
>>> host = Host('example.rtr', 'ios', options)

We can now do:

>>>
>>> host = Host('example.rtr', 'ios')
