Version 1.5.0

This releases fixes two related low severity vulnerabilities in our NTS cookie parsing, please see the related advisory.

Added

• Support for PPS based sources (this support can be disabled with a compile flag for now)
• Per source configuration of poll intervals
• Allow setting a custom reference id for stratum 1 servers

Changed

• Our algorithm can now handle periodic sources

• The reference timestamp field is now set to the truncated receive timestamp instead of being zero
• Support of rustls 0.21 and 0.22 is removed
• Certificate validation is now done through rustls-platform-verifier, following platform certificate validation more closely
• Updated dependencies

Fixed

• Fixed parsing of IPv6 addresses
• Fixed incorrect display of date in force-sync command
• Fixed a client denial of service vulnerability with zero-sized NTS cookies
• Fixed a client denial of service vulnerability with NTS cookies that are too large

Version 1.4.0

Added

• Support for GPS based sources via a GPSd socket
• Added a setting to allow disabling of colors in our logs (observability.ansi-colors)

Changed

• Fallback to V4 should V5 not work for some reason (if NTPv5 is enabled)
• Make the NTP version of a source configurable
• We now support rustls from 0.21 and up, to allow compilation on more targets

Fixed

• Force sync did not work when a single source was configured
• Fix incorrect indexing in decode of ReferenceIdRequest for NTPv5 messages

Version 1.3.1

Changed

• Updated dependencies. Includes fixes for RUSTSEC-2024-0399.

Version 1.3.0

Added

• Added force-sync command to ntp-ctl to help with getting a decent initial time if the clock is far away from reality.
• Added information on NTS to the ntp-ctl status overview.

Changed

• Made the logs a little less chatty
• Updated dependencies

Fixed

• On startup, if the clock needed a jump to get in line, this could cause oscillations.

Version 1.2.3

Fixed

• Metrics exporter should wait for an actual request before sending a response

Version 1.2.2

Changed

• Updated dependencies

Fixed

• Fixed a bug in network change detection that prevented startup on FreeBSD.
• Fixed a bug in leap second flag handling where previous flags weren't explicitly unset.
• Fixed a bug that caused NTS-KE sessions from clients with a large request to hang.
