Lists the changes in the package as they relate to controller API changes or functional changes in the package API. This was started with 2.4.1.
This PCL function imports an existing topology from a string. With the new schema and the use of UUIDs which was introduced in 2.3, the export format of labs has also changed:
- interfaces are now stored with the nodes and not in a global list anymore
- specific attributes of nodes/interfaces are not stored in a "data" dictionary anymore but with the node/interface itself
Importing / exporting such a lab will use the new representation. Going forward, the backward compatibility will be removed with 2.5. At the moment, deprecation warnings will be printed in these cases.
