New functionality:
* certutil now supports a --rename option to change a nickname (bmo#1142209)
* TLS extended master secret extension (RFC 7627) is supported (bmo#1117022)
* New info functions added for use during mid-handshake callbacks (bmo#1084669)
New Functions:
* NSS_OptionSet - sets NSS global options
* NSS_OptionGet - gets the current value of NSS global options
* SECMOD_CreateModuleEx - Create a new SECMODModule structure from module name
string, module parameters string, NSS specific parameters string, and NSS
configuration parameter string. The module represented by the module
structure is not loaded. The difference with SECMOD_CreateModule is the new
function handles NSS configuration parameter strings.

to the handshake being completed, for use with the callbacks that are invoked
during the handshake

New functionality:
* The TLS library has been extended to support DHE ciphersuites in
server applications.
New Functions:
* SSL_DHEGroupPrefSet - Configure the set of allowed/enabled DHE group
parameters that can be used by NSS for a server socket.
* SSL_EnableWeakDHEPrimeGroup - Enable the use of weak DHE group
parameters that are smaller than the library default's minimum size.
New Types:
* SSLDHEGroupType - Enumerates the set of DHE parameters embedded in
NSS that can be used with function SSL_DHEGroupPrefSet.
New Macros:
* SSL_ENABLE_SERVER_DHE - A socket option user to enable or disable
DHE ciphersuites for a server socket.
Notable Changes:
* For backwards compatibility reasons, the server side implementation
of the TLS library keeps all DHE ciphersuites disabled by default.
They can be enabled with the new socket option SSL_ENABLE_SERVER_DHE
and the SSL_OptionSet or the SSL_OptionSetDefault API.
* The server side implementation of the TLS implementation does not
support session tickets when using a DHE ciphersuite (see bmo#1174677).
* Support for the following ciphersuites has been added:
- TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
* By default, the server side TLS implementation will use DHE
parameters with a size of 2048 bits when using DHE ciphersuites.
* NSS embeds fixed DHE parameters sized 2048, 3072, 4096, 6144 and
8192 bits, which were copied from version 08 of the Internet-Draft

* required for Firefox 39.0
* No new functionality is introduced in this release. This release
addresses a backwards compatibility issue with the NSS 3.19.1
release.
* In NSS 3.19.1, the minimum key sizes that the freebl cryptographic
implementation (part of the softoken cryptographic module used
by default by NSS) was willing to generate or use was increased
- for RSA keys, to 512 bits, and for DH keys, 1023 bits. This
was done as part of a security fix for Bug 1138554 / CVE-2015-4000.
Applications that requested or attempted to use keys smaller
then the minimum size would fail. However, this change in behaviour
unintentionally broke existing NSS applications that need to
generate or use such keys, via APIs such as
SECKEY_CreateRSAPrivateKey or SECKEY_CreateDHPrivateKey.

- update to 3.19.1
No new functionality is introduced in this release. This patch
release includes a fix for the recently published logjam attack.
Notable Changes:
* The minimum strength of keys that libssl will accept for
finite field algorithms (RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and DSA) have
been increased to 1023 bits (bmo#1138554).
* NSS reports the bit length of keys more accurately. Thus,
the SECKEY_PublicKeyStrength and SECKEY_PublicKeyStrengthInBits
functions could report smaller values for values that have
leading zero values. This affects the key strength values that
are reported by SSL_GetChannelInfo.

New functionality:
* For some certificates, such as root CA certificates, that don't
embed any constraints, NSS might impose additional constraints,
such as name constraints. A new API has been added that allows
to lookup imposed constraints.
* It is possible to override the directory in which the NSS build
system will look for the sqlite library.
New Functions:
* CERT_GetImposedNameConstraints
Notable Changes:
* The SSL 3 protocol has been disabled by default.
* NSS now more strictly validates TLS extensions and will fail a
handshake that contains malformed extensions.
* Fixed a bug related to the ordering of TLS handshake messages.
* In TLS 1.2 handshakes, NSS advertises support for the SHA512
hash algorithm, in order to be compatible with TLS servers
that use certificates with a SHA512 signature.

Notable Changes:

trust bits restored to their original state to allow more time
to develop a better transition strategy for affected sites:
- OU = Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
* The following CA certificate was removed:
- CN = e-Guven Kok Elektronik Sertifika Hizmet Saglayicisi
* The following intermediate CA certificate has been added as
actively distrusted because it was mis-used to issue certificates
for domain names the holder did not own or control:
- CN=MCSHOLDING TEST, O=MCSHOLDING, C=EG

New functionality:
* When importing certificates and keys from a PKCS#12 source,
it's now possible to override the nicknames, prior to importing
them into the NSS database, using new API
SEC_PKCS12DecoderRenameCertNicknames.
* The tstclnt test utility program has new command-line options
-C, -D, -b and -R.
Use -C one, two or three times to print information about the
certificates received from a server, and information about the
locally found and trusted issuer certificates, to diagnose
server side configuration issues. It is possible to run tstclnt
without providing a database (-D). A PKCS#11 library that
contains root CA certificates can be loaded by tstclnt, which
may either be the nssckbi library provided by NSS (-b) or
another compatible library (-R).
New Functions:
* SEC_CheckCrlTimes
* SEC_GetCrlTimes
* SEC_PKCS12DecoderRenameCertNicknames
New Types:
* SEC_PKCS12NicknameRenameCallback
Notable Changes:
* The highest TLS protocol version enabled by default has been
increased from TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.2. Similarly, the highest DTLS
protocol version enabled by default has been increased from
DTLS 1.0 to DTLS 1.2.
* The default key size used by certutil when creating an RSA key
pair has been increased from 1024 bits to 2048 bits.

server don't have any common protocol version enabled,
NSS has been changed to report error code
SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION (instead of reporting
SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP).
* bmo#1112461: libpkix was fixed to prefer the newest certificate,
if multiple certificates match.
* bmo#1094492: fixed a memory corruption issue during failure of
keypair generation.
* bmo#1113632: fixed a failure to reload a PKCS#11 module in FIPS
mode.

LibreSSL client.

New functionality:
* When using ECDHE, the TLS server code may be configured to generate
a fresh ephemeral ECDH key for each handshake, by setting the
SSL_REUSE_SERVER_ECDHE_KEY socket option to PR_FALSE. The
SSL_REUSE_SERVER_ECDHE_KEY option defaults to PR_TRUE, which means
the server's ephemeral ECDH key is reused for multiple handshakes.
This option does not affect the TLS client code, which always
generates a fresh ephemeral ECDH key for each handshake.
New Macros
* SSL_REUSE_SERVER_ECDHE_KEY
Notable Changes:
* The manual pages for the certutil and pp tools have been updated to
document the new parameters that had been added in NSS 3.16.2.
* On Windows, the new build variable USE_STATIC_RTL can be used to
specify the static C runtime library should be used. By default the
dynamic C runtime library is used.

Notable Changes:
* The following 1024-bit root CA certificate was restored to allow more
time to develop a better transition strategy for affected sites. It was
removed in NSS 3.16.3, but discussion in the mozilla.dev.security.policy
forum led to the decision to keep this root included longer in order to
give website administrators more time to update their web servers.
- CN = GTE CyberTrust Global Root
* In NSS 3.16.3, the 1024-bit "Entrust.net Secure Server Certification
Authority" root CA certificate was removed. In NSS 3.16.4, a 2048-bit
intermediate CA certificate has been included, without explicit trust.
The intention is to mitigate the effects of the previous removal of the
1024-bit Entrust.net root certificate, because many public Internet
sites still use the "USERTrust Legacy Secure Server CA" intermediate
certificate that is signed by the 1024-bit Entrust.net root certificate.
The inclusion of the intermediate certificate is a temporary measure to
allow those sites to function, by allowing them to find a trust path to
another 2048-bit root CA certificate. The temporarily included
intermediate certificate expires November 1, 2015.
