Arguments of validate_doc_update().

Looking at the source code[1], I understand that `validate_doc_update`
functions are called with four arguments, instead of three as
documented on the wiki[2] and the "Definitive Guide"[3].

If I understand it correctly, the fourth argument is the security
object of the database. Is it correct?. It's OK for you if I update
the wiki[2] with this information?

Thanks,
  Marcello

It can be quite useful in a few cases to avoid hard-coded names or
roles in validate_doc_update functions.

I have update the wiki with this information.

Thanks for the info,
  Marcello

Hi!

Yes this is database security object and this argument was added with
0.11.1 release. For Javascript missing secObj is not critical, but for
others it could produce a lot of happy debugging hours, because it had
been nowhere officially described(:
