Yes - chrony 2.4 works on Versions 10.9 (Mavericks) through 10.12 (Sierra). I’ll recheck the next round of pre-releases on each OS version as well.

I think that maybe on the web-site Home ( https://chrony.tuxfamily.org/index.html ) it should say ‘macOS (formerly known as Mac OS X)’ under ‘Supported systems’ but I don’t think there will be a lot of confusion.

Is there a supported versions matrix anywhere? I have not seen one but perhaps a table showing 'Chrony versions' vs 'os versions' for each architecture would be a useful link from the ‘Supported systems’ section.

I’ll check that out after the release of Sierra when they (hopefully) make the kernel source available. Thanks for reminding me.
