V3

[aedwardstx]

Numerous major enhancements to HConfig:

• add_child() no longer takes an optional index. This feature was seldom used and the order weight functionality offers a similar capability.
• Hostnames are no longer a required argument of HConfig.
• Remove HConfig.logs. This feature was seldom used and never fully implemented.
• All platform specific logic has been moved to Drivers. A driver describes all of the platform specific rules and logic.
• All performance hot spots have been tuned.
• Remove HConfigChild.to_tag_spec(). This feature was seldom used and can be implemented externally if needed.
• Use Pydantic extensively to describe models.
• get_children() has been extensively optimized for performance.
• All code in the repo passes Pyright and mypy —strict with no ignores.
• Ruff with virtually all rules enabled.
• Most public method args use permissive types e.g. Iterable.
• HConfigBase._with_tags() bug fix if tags.intersection(child.tags): -> if tags.issubset(child.tags):
• Immutable objects are used wherever possible
• HConfig and config view constructor functions are now consolidated in constructors.py
• Added HConfig.add_children_deep()
• Eliminate text_match.py
• Add pydantic validator to load and dump HConfig from str/Dump
• Remove HConfig.all_children_sorted_with_lineage_rules(). This feature was seldom used and can be implemented externally if needed.
• Add support for hp_procurve(Aruba AOSS)

Let's preserve the v2 documentation by creating a v2 folder and copying the original docs to the v2 folder. In the index, let's create a link to the v2 docs.

I created a 2.3-lts branch from master so that we can easily support bug fixes (if required) for a period of time until folks migrate.

Edit: It's unnecessary to create a a v2 version of the docs. They're available on readthedocs.io as is:
