Some highlights from the release notes: * [BUG 1051] Month off by one in leap second message written to clockstats file fixed. * [Bug 841] Obsolete the "dynamic" keyword and make deferred binding to local interfaces the default. Emit a warning if that keyword is used for configuration. * [Bug 993] Fix memory leak when fetching system messages. * [Bug 987] Wake up the resolver thread/process when a new interface has become available. * Startup code for original LinuxPPS removed.
