Description Miroslav Lichvar 2014-07-09 15:14:39 UTC

Description of problem:
chrony-1.30 was recently released, it includes a number of improvements and bug fixes. 

http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/News.html

The new Linux clock driver allows very short update intervals, this would be useful with PTP hardware clocks.

Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2015-03-27 13:15:06 UTC

chrony-2.0-pre1 was released 2 months ago, final 2.0 will likely be released in a few weeks. There are some nice improvements, e.g. update to NTPv4 (RFC 5905), support for NTP pools, or new leap second handling modes.
