 ** Bug fixes
 
+  dd now computes statistics using a realtime clock (if available)
+  rather than the time-of-day clock, to avoid glitches if the
+  time-of-day is changed while dd is running.
+
   expr now detects integer overflow when evaluating large integers,
   rather than silently wrapping around.
