+
+Focus: Bug fixes and portability improvements

+* autogen/libopts upgrade.
+
+ntpd
+* ntpd fails binding to tentative IPv6 addresses under Linux.
+* WWVB/Spectracom driver timestamps LFs, not CRs.
+* peer may stay selected as system peer after becoming unreachable.
+* LOCAL, ACTS drivers with "prefer" excluded from initial candidate list.
+* orphan parent favored over LOCAL, ACTS drivers.
+* Billboard tally codes sometimes do not match operation, variables.
+* Backport utility routines from ntp-dev: mprintf(), emalloc_zero().
+* Enable tickadj-like taming of wildly off-spec Windows clock using
+  NTPD_TICKADJ_PPM env. var. specifying baseline slew.
+
+ntpdate
+* ntpdate takes longer than necessary.
+* ntpdate doesn't allow timeout > 2s.
