+* Allow rate limiting with very short intervals
 * Improve maximum server throughput on Linux and NetBSD
 * Remove dump files after start
 * Add tab-completion to chronyc with libedit/readline
 * Add ntpdata command to print details about NTP measurements
+* Allow all source options to be set in add server/peer command
 * Indicate truncated addresses/hostnames in chronyc output
