<li>There are two new burst mode features available where special conditions apply. One of these is enabled by the <tt>iburst</tt> keyword in the <tt>server</tt> configuration command. It is intended for cases where it is important to set the clock quickly when an association is first mobilized. The other is enabled by the <tt>burst</tt> keyword in the <tt>server</tt> configuration command. It is intended for cases where the network attachment requires an initial calling or training procedure. See the <a href="assoc.html">Association Management</a> page for further information.</li>
<li>The OpenSSL cryptographic library has replaced the library formerly available from RSA Laboratories. All cryptographic routines except a version of the MD5 message digest algorithm have been removed from the base distribution. All 128-bit and 160-bit message digests algorithms are now supported for both symmetric key and public key cryptosystems. See the <a href="authentic.html">Authentication Support</a> page for further information and the <a href="authopt.html">Authentication Options</a> page for a list of supported digest algorithms.</li>
<li>This release includes support for Autokey public-key cryptography for authenticating public servers to clients, as described in RFC 5906. This support requires the --enable-autokey option when building the distribution, which is the default is OpenSSL is available. The deployment of Autokey subnets is now considerably simpler than in earlier versions. A subnet naming scheme is now available to filter manycast and pool configurations. Additional information about Autokey is on the <a href="autokey.html">Autokey Public Key Authentication</a> page and links from there.</li>
- <li>The NTP descrete even simulator has been substantially upgraded, now including scenarios with multiple servers and time-sensitive scripts. This allows the NTP&nbsp;algorithms to be tested in an embedded environment with systematic and pseudo-random network delay and oscillator wander distributions. This has been used to verify correct operation under conditions of extreme error and misconfiguration. See the <a href="ntpdsim.html"><tt>ntpdsim</tt> - Network Time Protocol (NTP) simulator</a> page. A technical description and performance analysis is given in the white papers at the <a href="http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp.html">NTP Project Page</a>.</li>

<li>NTPv4 includes three new server discovery schemes, which in most applications can avoid per-host configuration altogether. Two of these are based on IP multicast technology, while the remaining one is based on crafted DNS lookups. See the <a href="discover.html">Automatic NTP Configuration Schemes</a> page for further information.</li>
<li>The status display and event report monitoring functions have been considerably expanded, including new statistics files and event reporting to files and the system log. See the <a href="decode.html">Event Messages and Status Words</a> page for further information.</li>
<li>Several new options have been added for the <tt>ntpd</tt> command line. For the inveterate knob twiddlers several of the more important performance variables can be changed to fit actual or perceived special conditions. In particular, the <tt>tinker</tt> and <tt>tos</tt> commands can be used to adjust thresholds, throw switches and change limits.</li>
