chrony-4.6.1 is now available. This release is addressing an issue
that was added in chrony-4.4 with support for AES-128-GCM-SIV keys
in NTS. It causes chrony to not interoperate with implementations
correctly following the RFC 8915. There are no other known NTS
implementations with AES-128-GCM-SIV support yet. A new NTS-KE record
is used to negotiate the use of RFC-8915-compliant keys to avoid
breaking compatibility with older chrony servers and clients.

The source code is available here:

SHA256 sum:
571ff73fbf0ae3097f0604eca2e00b1d8bb2e91affe1a3494785ff21d6199c5c

Notable changes since 4.6:

Enhancements
------------
* Add ntsaeads directive to enable only selected AEAD algorithms for NTS

Workarounds
-----------
* Negotiate use of compliant NTS keys with AES-128-GCM-SIV AEAD algorithm [=
1]
  (by default the keys are generated differently than in RFC 8915 for
  compatibility with chrony server and client versions 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6)
* Switch to compliant NTS keys if first response from server is NTS NAK
