+* [Bug 841] make deferred binding to local interface the default
+ (allows peers/servers to be configured even when no route exists)
* [Bug 840] do fudge configuration AFTER peers (thus refclocks) have been configured
* [Bug 832] Add libisc/log.c headers to the distribution.
* [Bug 808] Only write the drift file if we are in state 4.
<dd>This option is used only with broadcast server and manycast client modes. It specifies the time-to-live <i><tt>ttl</tt></i> to use on broadcast server and multicast server and the maximum <i><tt>ttl</tt></i> for the expanding ring search with manycast client packets. Selection of the proper value, which defaults to 127, is something of a black art and should be coordinated with the network administrator.
<dt><tt>version <i>version</i></tt>
<dd>Specifies the version number to be used for outgoing NTP packets. Versions 1-4 are the choices, with version 4 the default. This option is valid only with the <tt>server,</tt> <tt>peer</tt> and <tt>broadcast</tt> commands.
- <dt><tt>dynamic</tt>
- <dd>Allows a server/peer to be configured even if it is not reachable at configuration time. It is assumed that at some point in the future the network environment changes so that this server/peer can be reached. This option is useful to configure servers/peers on mobile systems with intermittent network access (e.g. wlan clients).

Each flag (or its absence) replaces the
previous setting. The <tt>prefer</tt> keyword indicates a preferred peer (and thus will be used primarily for clock synchronisation if possible). The preferred peer also determines the validity of the PPS signal - if the preferred peer is suitable for synchronisation so is the PPS signal.
- The <tt>dynamic</tt> keyword allows association configuration even when no suitable network interface is found at configuration time. The dynamic interface update mechanism may complete the configuration when new interfaces appear (e.g. WLAN/PPP interfaces) at a later time and thus render the association operable.
