Network Automation and Programmability Abstraction Layer with Multivendor support
IMPORTANT
Starting with this release, NAPALM offers support for Python 3.8+ only.
Python 3.7 support has been dropped (since it is now end-of-life, see https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-370/), while adding support for Python 3.12.
Beginning with this release, NAPALM only supports Arista EOS 4.23 and later. On this occasion, the eos_fn0039_config optional argument has also been removed. This optional argument was used to transform old style configuration to the new style, available beginning with EOS release 4.23.0, as per FN 0039.

Over the last 18 months Cisco has been working on implementing a NETCONF-based driver for the IOS-XR platforms. The new driver is now available in the core NAPALM library, besides the existing driver (which uses the proprietary XML API). The minimum IOS-XR version required is 7.0. Check out https://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support/iosxr_netconf.html for more information and caveats.
Many thanks to the Cisco team, in particular to @neelimapp and @111pontes for their work, and @ktbyers for coordinating these efforts.
As this is a brand new driver, you may encounter various issues, and we will welcome your reports and pull requests to fix those!
Beginning with this release, NAPALM natively supports commit confirmed operations. See https://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/changing_the_config.html#committing-the-configuration-with-a-required-confirmation for more usage details.

If you maintain a thrid-party driver using Netmiko for the underlying layer, but that doesn't make use of the enable features typically found on IOS-like devices, it is recommended to pin to this NAPALM version, so it won't break compatibility. See #1241 for more information.Release 3.0.0 introduced support for the Arista FN 0039 command changes (#1093), by replacing the old style commands with the new style commands. This also affected the way NAPALM loads the configuration on the device (i.e., it would transform your configuration before loading). In order to prevent this, and avoid unexpected results, we introduced a new optional argument eos_fn0039_config, defaulting to False, which you can use to select whether you want NAPALM to convert the configuration command before loading. By default, NAPALM won't transform your configuration, but setting eos_fn0039_config to True it would help you transition to newer EOS versions.
