The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides client accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to a primary server synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for example.

This release fixes a number of Windows-specific ntpd bugs and platform-independent ntpdate bugs. A logging bugfix has been applied to the ONCORE driver. The "dynamic" keyword is now obsolete and deferred binding to local interfaces is the new default. The minimum time restriction for the interface update interval has been dropped. A number of minor build system and documentation fixes are included. This is a recommended upgrade for Windows.
