| Upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4
|  
|     The inn.conf parser has changed between INN 2.3 and 2.4.  Due to that
|     change, options in inn.conf that contain whitespace or a few other
|     special characters must be quoted with double quotes, and empty
|     parameters (parameters with no value) are not allowed.
|     [...]
