+== Introduction
+
+=== Significant changes
+
+.Summary of Changes from draft
+- Changed the YANG version from "1" to "1.1".
+- Made the `yang-version` statement mandatory.
+- Made noncharacters illegal in the built-in type `string`.
+- Defined the legal characters in YANG modules.
+- Changed the rules for the interpretation of escaped characters in
+ double quoted strings. This is an backwards incompatible change
+ from YANG version 1. A module that uses a character sequence that
+ is now illegal must change the string to match the new rules.
+- An unquoted string cannot contain any single or double quote
+ characters. This is an backwards incompatible change from YANG
+ version 1.
+- Extended the `if-feature` syntax to be a boolean expression over
+ feature names.
+- Allow `if-feature` in `bit`, `enum`, and `identity`.
+- Allow `if-feature` in `refine`.
+- Made `when` and `if-feature` illegal on list keys.
+- Allow `choice` as a shorthand case statement.
+- Added a new substatement `modifier` to pattern.
+- Allow `must` in `input`, `output`, and `notification`.
+- Allow `require-instance` in leafref.
+- Allow `augment` to add conditionally mandatory nodes.
+- Added a set of new XPath functions.
+- Clarified the XPath context's tree.
+- Defined the string value of an identityref in XPath expressions.
+- Clarified what unprefixed names mean in leafrefs in typedefs.
+- Allow identities to be derived from multiple base identities.
+- Allow enumerations and bits to be subtyped.
+- Allow leaf-lists to have default values.
+- Allow non-unique values in non-configuration leaf-lists.
+- Use [RFC7405] syntax for case-sensitive strings in the grammar.
+- Changed the module advertisement mechanism.
+- Changed the scoping rules for definitions in submodules. A
+ submodule can now reference all definitions in all submodules that
+ belong to the same module, without using the `include` statement.
+- Added a new statement `action` that is used to define operations
+ tied to data nodes.
+- Allow notifications to be tied to data nodes.
+- Added a new data definition statement `anydata`.
+- Allow types `empty` and `leafref` in unions.
+- Allow type `empty` in a `key`.
