+NTP 4.2.4p5 (Harlan Stenn <stenn@ntp.org>, 2008/08/17)
+
+Focus: Minor Bugfixes
+
+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 and 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.
+
+---
+NTP 4.2.4p4 (Harlan Stenn <stenn@ntp.org>, 2007/09/10)
+
+Focus: Minor Bugfixes
+
+This release updates certain copyright information, fixes several display
+bugs in ntpdc, avoids SIGIO interrupting malloc(), cleans up file descriptor
+shutdown in the parse refclock driver, removes some lint from the code,
+stops accessing certain buffers immediately after they were freed, fixes
+a problem with non-command-line specification of -6, and allows the loopback
+interface to share addresses with other interfaces.
+
+---
+NTP 4.2.4p3 (Harlan Stenn <stenn@ntp.org>, 2007/06/29)
+
+Focus: Minor Bugfixes
+
+This release fixes a bug in Windows that made it difficult to
+terminate ntpd under windows.
+This is a recommended upgrade for Windows.
+
+---
+NTP 4.2.4p2 (Harlan Stenn <stenn@ntp.org>, 2007/06/19)
+
+Focus: Minor Bugfixes
+
+This release fixes a multicast mode authentication problem,
+an error in NTP packet handling on Windows that could lead to
+ntpd crashing, and several other minor bugs. Handling of
+multicast interfaces and logging configuration were improved.
+The required versions of autogen and libopts were incremented.
+This is a recommended upgrade for Windows and multicast users.
+
+---
+NTP 4.2.4 (Harlan Stenn <stenn@ntp.org>, 2006/12/31)
+
+Focus: enhancements and bug fixes.
+
+Dynamic interface rescanning was added to simplify the use of ntpd in
+conjunction with DHCP. GNU AutoGen is used for its command-line options
+processing. Separate PPS devices are supported for PARSE refclocks, MD5
+signatures are now provided for the release files. Drivers have been
+added for some new ref-clocks and have been removed for some older
+ref-clocks. This release also includes other improvements, documentation
+and bug fixes.
+
+K&R C is no longer supported as of NTP-4.2.4. We are now aiming for ANSI
+C support.
+
+---
+NTP 4.2.0 (Harlan Stenn <stenn@ntp.org>, 2003/10/15)
+
+Focus: enhancements and bug fixes.
