-------------------------
### Changes
- Add HOWTO.md to distribution and install into docs
### Fixes
- Issue #3: Open network socket using the address family returned by the
hostname, or address, lookup. Fix by Laura Fang
[2018_176][] - 2018-06-25
-------------------------
The Stuttgart release. Curated by [Joachim Nilsson][].
### Changes
- NTP server argument is now optional, default: `pool.ntp.org`
- Restore `.tar.gz` archives for `make dist` and release
- Make `.deb` file part of release
- Cleanup and simplify `README`
- Renmed `doc/` to `docs/`

[2017_246][] - 2017-09-03
-------------------------
Curated by [Joachim Nilsson][].
### Changes
- Log successful resolve of NTP host when network has been down

[2017_217][] - 2017-08-05
-------------------------
Curated by [Joachim Nilsson][].
### Changes
- Add support for IPv6, thanks to Dieter Ries
- Behavior change: `-L` now required with `-n`, otherwise `stdout` is
used. This to conform with de facto UNIX daemon behavior.
- Convert to GNU Configure & Build System, with proper `--enable-opts`
for all optional features, like precision and mini NTP client
- Relocate files to `doc/` and `src/` subdirectories
- Reindent to Linux kernel coding style and add [CONTRIBIBUTING.md][]
to help newcomers with basic project info
- Cleanup README and HOWTO, move to Markdown format for comfortable
presentation on GitHub.
- Update and refactor `ntpclient.8` and `adjtimex.1` into mdoc format
- Move change log from README to separate CHANGELOG file in a format
proposed by http://keepachangelog.com/
- Merge in changes from [2015_365][] by Larry
- Add missing `COPYING` file, GNU license should be included
- Add systemd unit file for running `ntpclient` as a daemon
- Add initial Debian packaging to be able to create `.deb` files
### Fixes
- Massive cleanup and build fixes to to `mini-ntpclient.c` from DD-WRT
- Fix compiler warnings for unused variables when `ENABLE_DEBUG` is unset
- Fix build error when building without `ENABLE_SYSLOG` support
- Fixes for non-GNU libc systems, replace `%m` and `__progname`
- Retry DNS lookup of NTP server, useful at boot and if net goes down
- Restart/reopen network socket at least once a day to prevent lockup
[2015_365][] - 2015-12-31
-------------------------
Curated by [Larry Doolittle][]. Changes since `ntpclient_2010_365.tar.gz`,
<http://doolittle.icarus.com/ntpclient/ntpclient_2015_365.tar.gz>
### Changes
- Tweak coding style to work better with modern compilers (e.g.,
gcc-gcc-4.9.2 and clang-3.5.0)
- Make c99 the default
- List more warning flags in disabled part of Makefile
- Minor whitespace, parenthesis, and spelling changes in source files
- Move `_POSIX_C_SOURCE` and `_BSD_SOURCE` to Makefile
### Fixes
- Dixed and re-enabled `-DPRECISION_SIOCGSTAMP`, seems to work properly
with modern (e.g., 3.x or 4.x) Linux kernel
- use `LDLIBES` instad of `LDFLAGS` for `-lrt` in Makefile (thanks, ChristophGr)
[2010_365][] - 2010-12-31
-------------------------
Curated by [Larry Doolittle][]. Changes since `ntpclient_2007_365.tar.gz`.
<http://doolittle.icarus.com/ntpclient/ntpclient_2010_365.tar.gz>
### Changes
- Include `netdb.h` and always define `_BSD_SOURCE` to get `herror()`
- Minor formatting to align with Nilsson's fork
- add `-fno-strict-aliasing` as needed by traditional network coding style
### Fixes
- Fixed type of `sa_xmit_len`, thanks [Mike Frysinger][]
- Dropped underscores in spelling of `adjtimex(2)`, might make uClibc happier
[2010_326][] - 2010-11-22
-------------------------
### Changes
- Allow hostname, instead of IP, to be supplied without `-h`
### Fixes
- Fix one-shot sync using `-s`, broke in previous release.
[2010_323][] - 2010-11-19
-------------------------
Curated by [Joachim Nilsson][].
### Changes
- Support for resync with server on `SIGHUP`
- Create `.md5` file as well during <kbd>make dist</kbd>
[2010_300][] - 2010-10-27
-------------------------
Curated by [Joachim Nilsson][].
### Changes
- Prefix all log messages with "ntpclient:"
- Merge the `adnyw.patch`
- Refactor logging to stdout/syslog using one `logit()` function
- Support for daemonizing ntpclient by default if run as root, assumes
syslog output.
- Add mini-ntpclient, a *very* small [ntpclient from DD-WRT][dd-wrt].
### Fixes
- Fix `adjtimex()` compile error on uClibc, from OpenEmbedded
[2007_365][] - 2007-12-31
-------------------------
Curated by [Larry Doolittle][].
### Changes
- Adjustable `min_delay` parameter, used to be hard-coded 800 microseconds
- Remove useless `listen()` call, thanks to Alexander Indenbaum
- Tidy up 32-bit integer declarations, prodding from Brian McAllister
- Added `rate2.awk`, contributed by Lou Sortman
- Provide easy way to override 15 second `MIN_INTERVAL` at compile time
- Relax `MIN_INTERVAL` enforcement for one-shot use, thanks to Mihai Buha
### Fixes
- Fix length passed to `recvfrom()`, thanks to Alexander Indenbaum
[2006_318][] - 2006-11-14 [YANKED]
----------------------------------
Curated by [Larry Doolittle][].
### Changes
- Default build is now `-std=c99`, but `c89` sill works too
- Switch default compile from `gettimeofday()` to POSIX `clock_gettime()`
- More sanity checking on the NTP reply packet, reference [RFC 4330]
- Fractional second printing in debug output changed to traditional decimal
- New `-f` switch to set initial frequency
- Works to specify both `-s` and `-l`, will jump-set first and then phase lock
- New man page, contributed by Walter Harms
- Most subroutines are now flagged static to the compiler
- Structural changes to the code, such as the new `ntpclient.h` file
- Dropped (mostly) obsolete patches from Linksys and Andy Warner
### Fixes
- Bug fix for `select()` error handling, thanks to Walter Harms
[2003_194][] - 2003-07-13 [YANKED]
----------------------------------
Curated by [Larry Doolittle][].
- New `-g` option (has had limited testing)
- Changed max frequency adjustment from 91 ppm to 150 ppm
- Fixed "inconsistent" bug in `phaselock.c` triggered by large freq errors
- New files: `HOWTO`, `adjtimex.c`, `adjtimex.1`, `rate.awk`, `log2date.pl`
- Minor source code cleanups
- Source is now as 64-bit clean as practical; tested on Alpha
- Optional patches provided by Andy Warner, see `andyw.patch`
- Optional patches provided by Linksys, see linksys.patch
- Removed unreasonable 15020 day offset in date column ([xntpd] has this
offset, which turns days-since-1900-epoch into Modified Julian Day)
