mod_auth_cyrus: Add empty 'profile' table to SASL handler objects This is for compatibility with Prosody's built-in util.sasl objects. A SASL profile table usually includes methods supported by the backend, which can be used by SASL mechanism handlers to perform operations (such as testing the password). It also optionally contains a 'cb' field with channel binding method handlers. The Cyrus backend doesn't support channel binding, and doesn't have the same concept of auth backend methods (it handles all that internally, and Prosody has no insight or control over it). Thus, we create an empty profile which informs Prosody that the SASL handler does not support any of the auth or channel binding methods. Some features will not work, but they didn't work anyway. This just makes it explicit. This fixes a traceback in mod_sasl2_fast, which expected SASL handlers to always contain a 'profile' field.

summary: Automatically reload modules with the config
...

Introduction
------------

By default Prosody does not reload modules at runtime unless instructed
to via one of its admin interfaces. However sometimes you want to easily
reload a module to apply new settings when the config changes.

mod\_reload\_modules will reload a set list of modules every time
Prosody reloads its config (e.g. on SIGHUP).

Configuration
-------------

Add "reload\_modules" to modules\_enabled. Then the list of modules to
reload using the 'reload\_modules' option in your config like so:

    reload_modules = { "groups", "tls" }

This would reload mod\_groups and mod\_tls whenever the config is
reloaded. Note that on many systems this will be at least daily, due to
logrotate.

Compatibility
