The sources and sourcestats commands accept -v as an option, but the
glibc implementation of getopt() reorders the arguments and parses the
option as a command-line option of chronyc.
Add '+' to the getopt string to disable this feature. Other getopt()
implementations should consider it a new command-line option, which will
be handled as an error if present.
Don't give up when one of the addresses/hostnames specified by -h fails
to resolve in DNS_Name2IPAddress(), e.g. with the default setting try to
connect to ::1 even when 127.0.0.1 failed due to the -6 option.
It was never used for anything and messages in debug output already
include filenames, which can be easily grepped if there is a need
to see log messages only from a particular file.
This is an incompatible change in the output of the tracking command,
which may break some scripts, but it's necessary to avoid confusion with
IPv4 addresses when synchronised to an IPv6 server or reference clock.
Don't rely on random source port of a connected socket alone as a
protection against spoofed packets in chronyc. Generate a fully random
32-bit sequence number for each request and modify the code to not send
a new request until the timeout expires or a valid response is received.
For a monitoring protocol this should be more than good enough.
Add xleave option to the peer directive to enable an interleaved mode
compatible with ntpd. This allows peers to exchange transmit timestamps
captured after the actual transmission and significantly improve
the accuracy of the measurements.
Replace struct timeval with struct timespec as the main data type for
timestamps. This will allow the NTP code to work with timestamps in
nanosecond resolution.
Add offset option to the server/pool/peer directive. It specifies a
correction which will be applied to offsets measured with the NTP
source. It's particularly useful to compensate for a known asymmetry in
network delay or timestamping errors.
Add a new option (-c) to chronyc to enable printing of reports in a
column-separated values (CSV) format. IP addresses will not be resolved
to hostnames, time will be printed as number of seconds since the epoch
and values in seconds will not be converted to other units.
Add a new printf-like function to allow printing of all fields at once
and rework all commands which print a report to use it. Add functions
for printing of headers and information fields, and formatting of IP
addresses and reference IDs.
