+* Generate more informative syslog messages before exiting on failed
+  assertions.
+* Fix bugs in clamping code for the tick value used when slewing a large
+  offset.
+* Don't chown files to root during install (should be pointless, and makes RPM
+  building awkward as ordinary user.)
+* Include chrony.spec file for building RPMs
+
+New in version 1.18
+===================
+* Amend homepage and mailing list information to chrony.sunsite.dk
+* Delete pidfile on exit from chronyd.
+* Improvements to readline interface to chronyc
+* Only generate syslog message when synchronisation is initially lost (instead
+  of on every failed synchronisation attempt)
+* Use double fork approach when initialising daemon.
+* More things in contrib directory.
+* New options to help package builders: --infodir/--mandir for configure, and
+  DESTDIR=xxx for make.  (See section 2.2 of chrony.txt for details).
+* Changed the wording of the messages generated by mailonchange and logchange
+  directives.
+
+New in version 1.17
+===================
+* Port to NetBSD

+* Bundled manpages (taken from the 'missing manpages project')
+* Cope with lack of bzero function for Solaris 2.3 systems
+* Store chronyd's pid in a file (default /var/run/chronyd.pid) and check if
+  chronyd may already be running when starting up.  New pidfile directive in
+  configuration file.
+* Any size subnet is now allowed in allow and deny commands.  (Example:
+  6.7.8/20 or 6.7.8.x/20 (any x) mean a 20 bit subnet).
+* The environment variables CC and CFLAGS passed to configure can now be used
+  to select the compiler and optimisation/debug options to use
+* Write syslog messages when chronyd loses synchronisation.

+  currently online/offline.
+* Fix long-standing bug with how the system time quantum was calculated.
+* Include support for systems with HZ!=100 (HZ is the timer interrupt
+  frequency).
+* Include example chrony.conf and chrony.keys files (examples subdirectory).
+* Include support for readline in chronyc.
+
+New in version 1.16.1
+=====================

+
+New in version 1.16
+===================
+* More informative captions for 'sources' and 'sourcestats' commands in chronyc
+  (use 'sources -v' and 'sourcestats -v' to get them).
+* Correct behaviour for Solaris versions>=2.6 (dosynctodr not required on these
+  versions.)
+* Remove some compiler warnings (Solaris)
+* If last line of keys file doesn't have end-of-line, don't truncate final
+  character of that key.
+* Change timestamp format used in logfiles to make it fully numeric (to aid
+  importing data into spreadsheets etc)
+* Minor documentation updates and improvements.
+
+New in version 1.15
+===================
+* Add contributed change to 'configure' to support Solaris 2.8 on x86
+* Workaround for assertion failure that arises if two received packets occur
+  close together. (Still need to find out why this happens at all.)
+* Hopefully fix problem where fast slewing was incompatible with machines
+  that have a large background drift rate (=> tick value went out of range
+  for adjtimex() on Linux.)
+* Fix rtc_linux.c compile problems with 2.4.x kernel include files.
+* Include support for RTC device not being at /dev/rtc (new rtcdevice directive
+  in configuration file).

+* Add support for Linux 2.4 kernels
+
+New in version 1.12
+===================
+
+* Trial fix for long-standing bug in Linux RTC estimator when system time is

+* Fixes to logging various error conditions when operating in daemon mode.
+* More stuff under contrib/
+* Changes to README file (e.g. about the new chrony-users mailing list)
+
+New in version 1.11a
+====================
+
+* Minor changes to contact details
+* Minor changes to installation details (chrony subdirectory under doc/)
+
+New in version 1.11
+===================
+
+* Improve robustness of installation procedure
+* Tidy up documenation and contact details
+* Distribute manual as .txt rather than as .ps
+* Add -n option to chronyc to work with numeric IP addresses rather than
+  names.
+* Add material in contrib subdirectory
+* Improve robustness of handling drift file and RTC coefficients file
+* Improve robustness of regression algorithm
+
+New in version 1.1
+==================
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+* Made linear regression more resistant to rounding errors (old one
+  occasionally generated negative variances which made everything go
+  haywire).  Trap infinite or 'not-a-number' values being used to
+  alter system clock to increase robustness further.
+
+Other changes/Enhancements
+--------------------------
+
+* Support for Linux 2.1 and 2.2 kernels
+
+* New command 'makestep' in chronyc to immediately jump the system
+  time to match the NTP estimated time (Linux only) - a response to
+  systems booting an hour wrong after summertime/wintertime changes,
+  due to RTCs running on local time.  Needs extending to Sun driver
+  files too.
+
+* New directives 'logchange' and 'mailonchange' to log to syslog or
+  email to a specific address respectively if chronyd detects a clock
+  offset exceeding a defined threshold.
+
+* Added capability to log all client/peer NTP accesses and command
+  accesses (can be turned off with conf file directive 'noclientlog').
+  Added 'clients' command to chronyc to display this data.
+
+* Improved manual mode to use robust regression rather than 2 point
+  fit.
+
+* Added 'manual list' and 'manual delete' commands to chronyc to
+  allow display of entered timestamps and discretionary deletion of
+  outliers.
+
+* If host goes unsynchronised the dummy IP address 0.0.0.0 is detected
+  to avoid attempting a reverse name lookup (to stop dial on demand IP
+  links from being started)
+
+* Changed chronyc/chronyd protocol so messages are now all variable
+  length.  Saves on network bandwidth particularly for large replies
+  from chronyd to chronyc (to support the clients command).
+
+* Added bindaddress directive to configuration file, to give
+  additional control over limiting which hosts can access the local
+  server.
+
+* Groundwork done for a port to Windows NT to compile with Cygwin
+  toolkit.  chronyc works (to monitor another host).  sys_winnt.c
+  needs finishing to use NT clock control API.  Program structure
+  needs adapting to use Windows NT service functions, so it can be
+  started at boot time.  Hopefully a Windows NT / Cygwin guru with
+  some spare time can take this port over :-)
+
+New in version 1.02
+===================
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+* Fix error messages in chronyc if daemon is not reachable.
+
+* Fix config file problem for 'allow all' and 'deny all' without a
+  trailing machine address.
+
+* Remove fatal failed assertion if command socket cannot be read from
+  in daemon.
+
+* Rewrote timezone handling for Linux real time clock, following
+  various reported problems related to daylight saving.
+
+Other changes/Enhancements
+--------------------------
+
+* Configure script recognizes BSD/386 and uses SunOS 4.1 driver for
+  it.
+
+* Log files now print date as day-month-year rather than as a day
+  number.  Milliseconds removed from timestamps of logged data.
+  Banners included in file to give meanings of columns.
+
+* Only do 1 initial step (followed by a trimming slew) when
+  initialising from RTC on Linux (previously did 2 steps).
+
+New in version 1.01
+===================
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+* Handle timezone of RTC correctly with respect to daylight saving
+  time
+
+* Syntax check the chronyc 'local' command properly
+
+* Fixed assertion failed fault in median finder (used by RTC
+  regression fitting)
+
+Other changes/Enhancements
+--------------------------
+
+* Log selection of new NTP reference source to syslog.
+
+* Don't zero-pad IP address fields
+
+* Add new command to chronyc to allow logfiles to be cycled.
+
+* Extend allow/deny directive syntax in configuration file to so
+  directive can apply to all hosts on the Internet.
+
+* Tidy up printout of timestamps to make it clear they are in UTC
+
+* Make 'configure' check the processor type as well as the operating
+  system.
