------------------------------------------
.. _new_functionality:
`New Functionality <#new_functionality>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. container::
- Implemented OCSP querying using the HTTP GET method, which is the new default, and will fall
back to the HTTP POST method.
- Implemented OCSP server functionality for testing purposes (httpserv utility).
- Support SHA-1 signatures with TLS 1.2 client authentication.
- Added the --empty-password command-line option to certutil, to be used with -N: use an empty
password when creating a new database.
- Added the -w command-line option to pp: don't wrap long output lines.
.. _new_functions:

.. container::
- CERT_ForcePostMethodForOCSP
- CERT_GetSubjectNameDigest
- CERT_GetSubjectPublicKeyDigest
- SSL_PeerCertificateChain
- SSL_RecommendedCanFalseStart
- SSL_SetCanFalseStartCallback
.. _new_types:
`New Types <#new_types>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. container::
- CERT_REV_M_FORCE_POST_METHOD_FOR_OCSP: When this flag is used, libpkix will never attempt to

- Reordered the cipher suites offered in SSL/TLS client hello messages to match modern best
practices.
- Updated the set of root CA certificates (version 1.96).
- Improved SSL/TLS false start. In addition to enabling the SSL_ENABLE_FALSE_START option, an
application must now register a callback using the SSL_SetCanFalseStartCallback function.
- When building on Windows, OS_TARGET now defaults to WIN95. To use the WINNT build
configuration, specify OS_TARGET=WINNT.

`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
----------------------------------
.. container::
NSS 3.15.4 shared libraries are backward compatible with all older NSS 3.x shared libraries. A
program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries will work with NSS 3.15.4 shared libraries
without recompiling or relinking. Furthermore, applications that restrict their use of NSS APIs
to the functions listed in NSS Public Functions will remain compatible with future versions of
the NSS shared libraries.
`Feedback <#feedback>`__
------------------------
.. container::
Bugs discovered should be reported by filing a bug report with
`bugzilla.mozilla.org <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=NSS>`__ (product NSS).
