Upgrading ze-filter

Upgrading is easy, just get new tar.gz, uncompress, ./configure, make install, then you should have a look at the configuration changes. You can generate the new ze-filter.cf and launch a diff against your old configuration file.

ze-filter -m > ze-filter.cf.new
diff /etc/ze-filter/ze-filter.cf ze-filter.cf.new > ze-filter.cf.diff
vi ze-filter.cf.new
mv ze-filter.cf.new /etc/ze-filter/ze-filter.cf

How does ze-filter interpret that new configuration?
