[PATCH] motion 4.0.1: new config file

[PATCH] motion 4.0.1: new config file

[Matthias Fischer]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 30115 bytes --]

This is the new config file for 'motion 4.0.1'. Several keys were
renamed since 3.2.12, others adapted, some are completely new.
I tried to take care of existing keys and values.

This one needs testing.

Best,
Matthias
