    introduced in 3.13 (bmo#693228)
  • SSL 2.0 is disabled by default
  • A defense against the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 CBC chosen
    plaintext attack demonstrated by Rizzo and Duong

    SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV SSL option to PR_FALSE to disable it.
  • Support SHA-224
  • Add PORT_ErrorToString and PORT_ErrorToName to return
    the error message and symbolic name of an NSS error code
  • Add NSS_GetVersion to return the NSS version string
  • Add experimental support of RSA-PSS to the softoken
    only
  • NSS_NoDB_Init does not try to open /pkcs11.txt and
    /secmod.db anymore (bmo#641052)
