This is a recommended upgrade. 
 
This release includes build infrastructure updates, code 
clean-ups, minor bug fixes, fixes for a number of minor 
ref-clock issues, and documentation revisions. 
 
Portability improvements affect AIX, HP-UX, Linux, OS X and 64-bit time_t.

* Correct WWVB/Spectracom driver to timestamp CR instead of LF 
* Improved tally bit handling to prevent incorrect ntpq peer status reports 
* Exclude the Undisciplined Local Clock and ACTS drivers from the initial 
  candidate list unless they are designated a "prefer peer" 
* Prevent the consideration of Undisciplined Local Clock or ACTS drivers for 
  selection during the 'tos orphanwait' period 
* Prefer an Orphan Mode Parent over the Undisciplined Local Clock or ACTS 
  drivers 
* Improved support of the Parse Refclock trusttime flag in Meinberg mode 
* Backport utility routines from ntp-dev: mprintf(), emalloc_zero()
