Icons missing + warning

Installation info

• Version: Dunst - A customizable and lightweight notification-daemon 1.7.0 (2021-10-19)
• Install type: package
• Distro and version: Arch Linux 5.14.14-arch1-1

The update to 1.7.0 has caused icons defined in dunstrc to disappear while everything functioned correctly in version 1.6.1. I believe this is a bug, I have followed the new dunstrc template and specified the default icon in sections such as [urgency_normal]. Here is my dunstrc.

The following warning is displayed:

$ dunst -verbosity info 
INFO: '/home/user/.config/dunst/dunstrc' open, fd: '3' 
INFO: '/usr/etc/xdg/dunst/dunstrc' open, fd: '4' 
INFO: Parsing config, fd: '4'

WARNING: Cannot use filtering rules in special section. Ignoring icon in section urgency_normal. 
WARNING: Cannot use filtering rules in special section. Ignoring icon in section urgency_critical. 
INFO: Using X11 output

Icons specified using dunstify --icon path/to/icon continue being displayed correctly.

This isn't a bug, instead the example in the dunstrc is not correct. You should use new_icon to set an icon. Dunst 1.7.0 adds a warning when your config isn't correct.
Does it work when you change icon to new_icon?

Thanks, I confirm that new_icon works well and icons are shown again.
I suggest that new_icon be included in the dunstrc template which still contains the non-functioning icon = /path/to/icon example.

Yes, I'll update it. Thanks for testing
