Hi Hans The configuration file has always been empty from a functional point of view. In the past it did contain a lot of text but everything was commented.
For easier maintenance (one place to update instead of two) I decided to remove all commented text from the default configuration file and instead simply point to the README file that contain the documentation of all configuration directives. Is this a good enough explanation for you? You marked this as a wishlist bug. Do you want anything changed or was this just a question? Best regards // Ola On 9 April 2017 at 09:08, Hans-J.
