The NTPsec Project is pleased to announce the tagging of version 1.2.3

* Change mode6 alignment to four, which may break some compatibility with classic NTP.
* Seccomp should now also yield invalid syscall names when dying.
* Make ntpq stop dropping output timestamp leading zeroes.
* Update documents in quite a few places.
* Reset some stats hourly, even when not logged into files.
* Add error logging, and stats for ms-sntp.
* Add spacing between multiple peer views in ntpq.
* We think we have fixed ms-sntp but we can't test it.  If you can test it, please let us know if it does/doesn't work.
* ntpd and ntpq both treat SHA-1 as an alias for SHA1 NIST uses SHA-1.  The crypto package from OpenSSL uses SHA1.
* The default crypto type for ntpq is now AES. RFC 8573 deprecated MD5.
* There are now log files with hourly statistics for NTS and NTS-KE traffic: filegen ntsstats and filegen ntskestats,
* Update ntpsnmpd to use python built-in to get uname information. NTPsec/ntpsec#791
* Update license file names for REUSE compliance.
* Fix ntploggps issue where count_used_satellites checked before it is initialized.
* Print out OpenSSL version at configure time.
* Enable debug symbols by default, with only an option to disable.
* Add support for ecdhcurves list.
* Fix build on platforms where `-fstack-protector` relies on libssp, like musl.
* Fix ntpdig crash when using 2.ntp.pool.org with a host without IPv6 support.
* Do not install libaes_siv test anymore.
* Add update option to buildprep.
* ntpdig shows packet delay in JSON output.
