The biggest change is in the crypto-types draft, as it continues to try to grapple with the "algorithm" problem.  

I don't think there is consensus for having distinct "iana-" modules for each type of algorithm yet.  For one, if it were a module to be be supported by IANA, one might expect more of a template but, as the algorithm-lists pull from numerous RFCs, how to make a template wasn't clear to me and, besides, having a distinct module for each type of algorithm became a convenient way to define a "config false" list for the algorithms supported by the server.

In any case, I offer this update to the WG for discussion.  Below are the change logs for each draft.

===== change logs =====

crypto-types:

   o  Removed all non-essential (to NC/RC) algorithm types.

   o  Moved remaining algorithm types each into its own module.

   o  Added a 'config false' "algorithms-supported" list to each of the
      algorithm-type modules.



trust-anchors (truststore):

   o  Added Henk Birkholz as a co-author (thanks Henk!)

   o  Added PSKs and raw public keys to Truststore.



keystore:

   o  Updated YANG module and examples to incorporate the new
      iana-*-algorithm modules in the crypto-types draft.



tcp-client-server

   o  No update.




ssh-client-server

   o  Removed unnecessary if-feature statements in the -client and
      -server modules.

   o  Cleaned up some description statements in the -client and -server
      modules.

   o  Fixed a canonical ordering issue in ietf-ssh-common detected by
      new pyang.



tls-client-server

   o  Removed unnecessary if-feature statements in the -client and
      -server modules.

   o  Cleaned up some description statements in the -client and -server
      modules.

   o  Fixed a canonical ordering issue in ietf-ssh-common detected by
      new pyang.



http-client-server

   o  Removed "protocol-version" leaf in http-client-grouping.



netconf-client-server

   o  Added refinement to make "cert-to-name/fingerprint" be mandatory
      false.

   o  Commented out refinement to "tls-server-grouping/client-
      authentication" until a better "must" expression is defined.



restconf-client-server

   o  Added refinement to make "cert-to-name/fingerprint" be mandatory
      false.

   o  Commented out refinement to "tls-server-grouping/client-
      authentication" until a better "must" expression is defined.

   o  Updated restconf-client example to reflect that http-client-
      grouping no longer has a "protocol-version" leaf.
