For detailed changes, see the changes either in the OpenBSD CVS repository or the GitHub mirror. 2016-03-28 OpenNTPD 5.9p1 * When a single "constraint" is specified, try all returned addresses until one succeeds, rather than the first returned address. * Relaxed the constraint error margin to be proportional to the number of NTP peers, avoid constant reconnections when there is a bad NTP peer. * Removed disabled hotplug sensor support. * Added support for detecting crashes in constraint subprocesses. * Moved the execution of constraints from the ntp proces to the parent process, allowing for better privilege separation since the ntp process can be further restricted. * Added pledge(2) support. * Updated to LibreSSL 2.3.x libtls API changes. * Fixed CPU spinning when the network is down. * Fixed various memory leaks. * Switched to RMS for jitter calculations. * Unified logging functions with other OpenBSD base programs. 2015-03-24 OpenNTPD 5.7p4 * Added support for HTTPS constraints to validate NTP responses. See the man page and example config file for how to configure it. The initial announcement: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=142356166731390&w=2 is an explanation of the rationale and how the feature works. * Workaround an apparent bug in Solaris adjtime that cause the clock to report sync/unsync continuously. * Workaround an issue on systems with 32-bit time_t that causes an overflow if the system time is later than early 2036. The libtls library, as shipped with LibreSSL 2.1.4 or later, is required to use the HTTPS constraint feature, though it is not required to use OpenNTPD. 2015-01-27 OpenNTPD 5.7p3 * Fixed issue resolving hostnames when the network is initially unavailable. * Fixed process name logging on Linux and OS X. * Fixed adjfreq failures on Solaris due to uninitialized struct timex. * Support building on Linux musl libc. * Default privilege separation directory changed from /var/empty/ntp to /var/empty. Please ensure that if you are using the default from previous releases that the privsep directory is empty, owned by root, and has no write privileges for other users. 2015-01-20 OpenNTPD 5.7p2 * Switched the drift file from an unscaled frequency offset to ppm. The latter format is compatible with that of ntp.org. This allows easy switching between ntpd daemons * Fixed a memory leak in DNS lookups. * Added support for setting the process title on Linux and OS X. The different processes are now possible to tell apart by role in the process list. * Import NetBSD support. * Various bugfixes and refinements from the community. 2015-01-08 OpenNTPD 5.7p1 * Support for a new build infrastructure based on the LibreSSL framework. Source code is integrated directly from the OpenBSD tree with few manual changes, easing maintenance. * Removed support for several OSes pending test reports and updated portability code. * Supports the Simple Network Time Protocol version 4 as described in RFC 5905 * Added route virtualization (rdomain) support. * Added ntpctl(8), which allows for querying ntpd(8) at runtime. * Finer-grained clock adjustment via adjfreq / ntp_adjtime where available. * Improved latency on heavily-loaded machines.
