 by browsing the comments in the revision history.  This file will focus
 on user-visible changes.
 
+== 2015-11-16: 0.9.0 ==
+
+Initial NTPsec beta release.
+
+* The documentation has been extensively updated and revised.  One
+  important change is that manual pages are now generated from the
+  same masters as this web documentation, so the two will no longer
+  drift out of synchronization.  
+
+* Internally, there is more consistent use of nanosecond precision.
+  A visible effect of this is that time stepping with sufficiently
+  high-precision time sources could be accurate down to nanoseconds
+  rather than microseconds; this might actually matter for GPSDOs
+  and high-quality radio clocks.
+
+* The deprecated ntpdc utility, long since replaced by ntpq, has been removed.
+
+* The ntpsnmpd daemon, incomplete and not conformant with RFC 5907,
+  has been removed.
+
+* A number of obsolete refclocks have been removed.
+
+* The sntp program has been renamed 'ntpdig' in order to make
+  NTP installables have a uniform name prefix and take up less
+  namespace. Also, ntp-keygen is now ntpkeygen, ntp-wait
+  is ntpwait}, and update-leap is now ntpleapfetch.
+
+* A new utility, ntpfrob, collects several small diagnostic functions
+  for reading and tweaking the local clock hardware, including reading
+  the clock tick rate, precision, and jitter. Part of it formerly
+  traveled as tickadj.
+
+* The deprecated ntpdate program has been replaced with a shell
+  wrapper around ntpdig.
+
+* Log timestamps look a little different; they are now in ISO8601 format.
+
+* Autokey is not supported in this release.
+
 == Bugfixes either ported from NTP Classic or fixed by NTPsec changes ==

+These reflect fixes to NTP Classic between the 2015-06-06 fork point and
+the 0.9.0 beta release.
 
 * [Bug 2625] Deprecate flag1 in local refclock.  Hal Murray, Harlan Stenn.
 * [Bug 2778] Implement "apeers"  ntpq command to include associd.
