chrony CHANGELOG

This file is used to list changes made in each version of the chrony cookbook.

2.0.0 (2026-03-25)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

chrony::client, chrony::server, and chrony::default recipes have been removed. Use the chrony_config resource directly in wrapper cookbooks. The Chef search feature for auto-discovering server nodes is no longer provided — implement in your own wrapper cookbook if needed.

Features

modernize chrony cookbook and refactor master to server (#74) (283883f)
set chrony.conf mode to 0600 per CIS benchmark (#52) (5dfd931)
