chrony (1.31.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  From now on, we use the "hwclockfile" directive in /etc/chrony/chrony.conf.
  Basically, it makes the detection of the standard (Local or UTC time) set
  in /etc/adjtime — and used by the hardware clock — clearer compared to the
  text processing method we used to use in the post install script to complete
  the same task. Note that it overrides the "rtconutc" directive.

  Also, we now create the _chrony system user to which chronyd will drop root
  privileges. For users already allowing chronyd to drop root privileges in
  favor of the user configured by the "user" directive in
  /etc/chrony/chrony.conf, your configuration will remain unchanged and will
  still work as intended.
  However, some users might use a custom init script to accomplish the same
  task by invoking chronyd with the '-u' option. We advise you to drop this
  option from your init script before upgrading, otherwise you’ll have to
  readjust the owner of the /var/l{ib,og}/chrony directories (recursively) to
  the user you configured in your the init script.
