 == Module Options ==
 
-Version 0.17 introduces authentication module options so that each authentication module can specify options to configure its behaviour.
 The same module may be used with different types of sockets (tcp-auth vs auth), each with a different set of options.
 For more details see ticket:1159#comment:1.

 == Password File ==
 
-In versions before 0.17, the password file could contain a single password or multiple usernames and passwords. This was confusing and error prone, which is why 0.17 has distinct modules for each use case: "file" and "multifile". See #1159 for details.
-
-For more information on the multifile password file format, see [/ProxyServer#FileAuthenticationExtras proxy server file authentication].
+"file" vs "multifile":
+* "file" contains a single password, the whole file is the password
+* "multifile" contains a list of authentication values, see [/ProxyServer#FileAuthenticationExtras proxy server file authentication].
