config: When showing an "Unknown setting" error, show the full section path For example with: service foo { inet_listener bar { key = value } } Instead of showing just: Unknown setting: key Show the entire path: Unknown setting: service { inet_listener { key Any filters won't be shown, because they don't affect the result.

global: Change string position/length from unsigned int to size_t Mainly to avoid truncating >4GB strings, which might potentially cause some security holes. Normally there are other limits, which prevent such excessive strings from being created in the first place. I'm sure this didn't find everything. Maybe everything could be found with compiler warnings. -Wconversion kind of does it, but it gives way too many unnecessary warnings. These were mainly found with: grep " = strlen" egrep "unsigned int.*(size|len)"

global: unsigned int:1 -> bool:1 perl -i -pe 's/unsigned int ([^,:;]+):1;/bool $1:1;/' **/*.[ch]

doveconf: Log a warning if a global setting is updated after it was already set inside a filter For example: protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota } mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota Will result in: doveconf: Warning: dovecot.conf line 4: Global setting mail_plugins won't change the setting inside an earlier filter at dovecot.conf line 2

config: Fixed '\' line continuation to work again. This had been broken for many years.

config: Added hook_config_parser_end for plugins.

config: Support looking up config for multiple modules at the same time.

Array API changed: ARRAY_DEFINE(name, type) -> ARRAY(type) name Easy way to update your existing code: perl -i -pe 's:ARRAY_DEFINE\(([^,]+), *([^)]+)\);:ARRAY($2) $1;:' **/*.[ch]

Marked functions parameters that are allowed to be NULL. Some APIs were also changed. The non-obvious APIs where NULL parameter was changed to "" are master_service_init() and auth_master_user_list_init(). These checks can currently be enabled only on a patched clang: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=6786

doveconf: Added -d parameter for dumping default settings.

config parser: Log an error about missing '}'.

config: Added hook_config_parser_begin so plugins can change default settings. --HG-- branch : HEAD

doveconf: When module is given, ignore checks for non-required settings. --HG-- branch : HEAD

config: Forgot to add header file. --HG-- branch : HEAD
