 New features in this release:
 
+Optional (disabled by default) support to have ntpd provide smeared
+leap second time.  A specially built and configured ntpd will only
+offer smeared time in response to client packets.  These response
+packets will also contain a "refid" of 254.a.b.c, where the 24 bits
+of a, b, and c encode the amount of smear in a 2:22 integer:fraction 
+format.  See http://bugs.ntp.org/2855 for more information.
+
+   *IF YOU CHOOSE TO CONFIGURE NTPD TO PROVIDE LEAP SMEAR TIME*
+   *BE SURE YOU DO NOT OFFER THAT TIME ON PUBLIC TIMESERVERS.*

 We've imported the Unity test framework, and have begun converting
 the existing google-test items to this new framework.  If you want
 to write new tests or change old ones, you'll need to have ruby
