Release Notes
|
|
</h3><hr>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following changes are in the version 3-5.85 distribution relative
|
|
to the previous 3.5f version.
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
<li>The automatic build procedure has been replaced with GNU
|
|
<code>autoconfigure</code>. This should make porting to nonstandard
|
|
machines and operating systems much easier and should simplify the
|
|
maintenance for multi-architecture sites. See the <code>./WHERE-TO-
|
|
START</code>, <code>./INSTALL</code> and <code>./README</code> files for
|
|
a brief overview of the new building and installing procedures. See the
|
|
the building and installing pages in the HTML documentation for further
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>A clock driver (type 11) is included for the Arbiter 1088A/B GPS
|
|
Receiver.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>The Windows NT build procedure is changed. See the
|
|
<code>./util/wininstall</code> directory for further information.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>A clock driver (type 11) is included for the Arbiter 1088A/B GPS
|
|
Receiver.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>The HTML documentation has been edited and updated to correct
|
|
outdated information and minor typographical errors. A new page has been
|
|
added for the Arbiter 1088A/B GPS Receiver.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>The <code>xntpd</code> daemon now calculates the authentication
|
|
delay automatically, so it no longer needs to be specified for each
|
|
architecture and operating system. The <code>-e</code> command-line
|
|
switch has been removed from the <code>xntpd</code> program. The
|
|
<code>authdelay</code> configuration option has been removed.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>The <code>auth</code>, <code>monitor</code>, <code>pll</code> and
|
|
<code>stats</code> flags are enabled by default. The
|
|
<code>bclient</code> and <code>pps</code> flags are disabled by default.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following changes are in the version 3.5f distribution relative
|
|
to the previous 3.4y version.
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
<li>Please note the scripts for configuring radio clock drivers do
|
|
not work. See the building and installing documentation for specific
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>The documentation has been completely reworked in HTML format
|
|
suitable for web browsing.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>The automatic build procedure has been improved to
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>support the line disciplines, streams modules and precision
|
|
time kernel modifications. These are controlled by the presence of
|
|
certain system-dependent header files in the
|
|
<code>/usr/include/sys</code> directory.
|
|
<li>include by default all reference clock drivers known to work
|
|
with each combination of hardware and operating system. (The particular
|
|
defaults are specified in the <code>../machines</code> files for each
|
|
machine.)
|
|
|
|
<li>activate precision time kernel modifications by default if
|
|
detected by the build procedure. (Previous versions required an
|
|
undocumented addition to the <code>ntp.drift</code> file in order to
|
|
activate these modifications.)
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><li>Three TrueTime reference clock drivers, which did slightly
|
|
different things with each model, have been replaced with one driver
|
|
(type 5) that works with all models. Two new reference clock drivers
|
|
have been added, one for the Bancomm IRIG interface, the other for the
|
|
TrueTime GPS-VME interface. Both of these work only with the HP
|
|
architecture.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>There is a new <code>pps</code> option to the <code>xntpdc</code>
|
|
program and configuration file <code>enable/disable</code> command,
|
|
which enables or disables the PPS precision time control signal for both
|
|
the PPS clock driver and kernel PPS interface, where available. This is
|
|
primarily intended for situations where external equipment has
|
|
malfunctioned or the signal has become excessively noisy.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>The <code>precision</code> configuration file command and
|
|
<code>xntpdc</code> command have been removed; the precision variable
|
|
quantity is now determined automatically and cannot be changed.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>The <code>authenticate</code> and <code>monitor</code> commands
|
|
in <code>xntpdc</code> have been removed; the functions formerly
|
|
provided by these commands are now provided by the <code>enable</code>
|
|
and <code>disable</code> commands.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>Fixed minor problems peculiar to different machines and system
|
|
environments. Fixed minor problem in the PPS interfaces and mitigation
|
|
rules. See the ./patches directory for details.
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 3.5 has been compiled and run on at least the following
|
|
machines, operating systems and compilers. In all known cases, if the
|
|
gcc compiler eats it with some success, the cc compiler also enjoys the
|
|
meal; the converse is not always true. Note that, while all clock
|
|
drivers have been compiled, only certain ones have been tested with each
|
|
machine and operating system.
|
|
|
|
<p>Previous versions have been compiled and run on at least the
|
|
following machines, operating systems and compilers.
