+The NETCONF projects hosts multiple components relating to IETF's NETCONF Working Group:
+
+* Northbound and southbound plugins for NETCONF protocol, as described in `RFC-6241 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6241>`__
+* Northbound plugin for RESTCONF protocol, as described in `RFC-8040 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8040>`__
+* Northbound plugin for RESTCONF protocol, as described in `an early draft <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bierman-netconf-restconf-02>`__
+* Northnound plugin for descring RESTCONF endpoint in terms of `OpenAPI 3.0 <https://swagger.io/docs/specification/about/>`__

-devices in the network. The base NETCONF protocol is described in
-`RFC-6241 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6241>`__.
Behavior/Feature Changes
========================
+The RFC8040 endpoint now correctly interprets `YANG Patch Media Type <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8072>`__
+requests.

+The ``netcon-node-topology`` YANG model has been updated to correctly mark the presence of OpenDaylight's
+``yang-ext:mount`` extension. This does not affect the implementation, but improves interoperability with
+external system.

+migrate to using the RFC8040-compliant endpoint ``localhost:8181/rests``, as installed via
+``odl-restconf-nb-rfc8040``.
