+Upgrading Dovecot v1.0 to v1.1
+==============================
+
+You can use your old 'dovecot.conf' from v1.0. It should work without changes,
+although a couple of deprecated settings have been removed.
+
+Upgrading from Dovecot versions older than v1.0.rc1 directly to v1.1 is not
+recommended. v1.0 versions contain some backwards compatibility checks and file
+format converters that have been removed from v1.1.
+
+If you want to downgrade back after running v1.1, don't downgrade to older
+versions than v1.0.8 or you'll get crashes. Especially if you're using maildir,
+the 'dovecot-uidlist' file format has changed and Dovecot versions older than
+v1.0.2 can't read it.
+
+Connections
+-----------
+
+ * 'listen = [::]' listens only for IPv6 connections now in most operating
+ systems. If you want both IPv4 and IPv6 use 'listen = *, [::]'
+ * By default the number of connections per-user per-IP is limited to 10. You
+ can change this with the 'mail_max_userip_connections' setting.
+
+Authentication
+--------------
+
+ * <passwd-file> [AuthDatabase.PasswdFile.txt]: If you use %d in args, it no
+ longer means that domain isn't looked up from the passwd-file. You'll need
+ to add 'username_format=%n' prefix to args (e.g. 'args = username_format=%n
+ /etc/virtual.%d').
+ * Empty or NULL password no longer means "any password is valid". You'll also
+ have to return "nopassword" field.
+ * <PAM> [PasswordDatabase.PAM.txt]: There's no more 'blocking=yes' setting,
+ it's now always enabled. If you want to limit the number of lookups done by
+ a dovecot-auth worker, change 'auth_worker_max_request_count' setting.
+ Setting it to 1 makes it work basically the same as the old 'blocking=no'.
+ * <passwd> [AuthDatabase.Passwd.txt]: The problem with passwd lookups is that
+ temporary errors (e.g. LDAP server down) are returned as "user doesn't
+ exist" errors. You may want to try the new <NSS> [UserDatabase.NSS.txt]
+ userdb.
+ * <SQL> [AuthDatabase.SQL.txt] and <LDAP> [AuthDatabase.LDAP.txt]:
+ 'user_global_uid' and 'user_global_gid' fields have been removed from their
+ config files. Instead you can now use 'mail_uid' and 'mail_gid' settings in
+ 'dovecot.conf'. This also means that it's no longer a requirement to specify
+ a userdb at all (a dummy <static userdb> [UserDatabase.Static.txt] is used
+ internally).
+
+Mail handling
+-------------
+
+ * In v1.0 'mmap_disable=yes' might have worked faster. If you had changed this
+ only because of that, it's time to set it back to "no".
+ * <NFS.txt> users should now set 'mail_nfs_storage=yes' and
+ 'mail_nfs_index=yes'. Dovecot no longer requires attribute cache to be
+ disabled.
+ * <Quota.txt> plugin has completely new configuration. See <Quota.1.1.txt>.
+ * <Maildir> [MailboxFormat.Maildir.txt]: 'dovecot-uidlist' file is in a new
+ format. The old format is automatically converted to new one, but if you
+ plan to move back to v1.0 be sure to use at least v1.0.2 which will also
+ understand this new format.
+ * Index files have slightly changed as well. Upgrading to v1.1 should go
+ transparently, but moving back to v1.0 might again cause some errors. v1.0.8
+ fixes some assert-crashes that were caused by reading v1.1-generated index
+ files.
+ * 'dotlock_use_excl=yes' is default nowadays. If you're still using an ancient
+ NFSv2 setup, you'll need to set this to "no".
+ * mbox: Delete existing dovecot.index.cache files from all mailboxes.
+ Otherwise you may see some errors in logs.
+ * 'default_mail_env' has been renamed to 'mail_location' (since v1.0.rc11
+ already).
+ * Namespaces:
+ * deliver now supports namespaces. If you use namespace prefixes or a
+ non-default separator and you deliver to non-INBOXes, deliver will now
+ have to use the configured prefix and separators.
+ * This is especially important for Sieve scripts. For example if you
+ only have "INBOX." namespace prefix and you used to use 'fileinto
+ "box"', it now has to be instead: 'fileinto "INBOX.box"'
+ * 'hidden=yes' now hides the namespace only from IMAP NAMESPACE reply.
+ You'll also need to set 'list=no' to truly hide them from clients'
+ mailbox list.
+
+Removed settings
+----------------
+
+ * mail_read_mmaped: Mails are never read mmaped anymore. There wasn't much
+ point.
+ * mmap_no_write: OpenBSD users will have to settle for mmap_disable=yes for
+ now.
