That is indeed old version, but no, there is no automatic certificate reloading in Dovecot yet. This has been suggested before, and we have it in our internal issue tracker, but unfortunately I can't promise any date when it will be done.
Ok. I'm glad it is noted somewhere and that hopefully someday someone will get to it. Once a problem is known the solution is often easy. So for example I spent time figuring out why dovecot was rejecting the fetchmail SSL certificate, while in fact it was the other way around.
When my certificate next expires I'll probably NOT find out that my fix works or not. It'll go smoothly and I'll have forgotten about it. So no "date" on it is not a problem for me. I'm happy if my report helps put something on the radar and makes things better over time.

Does a dovecot reload not do that?
You mean a reload as opposed to a restart? Maybe. So a restart might be more expensive, but my server is way overpowered and can handle the restart.
