Thanks much. I have not used CVS in a while, so forgive me; been pulling NSS
bits and source from the mozilla ftp site
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/security/nss/releases/ when available...

Could you make the NSS 3.6 source available (e.g., nss-3.6.tar.gz) on this
same site?
Also so you know if JSS works OK with these latest unpublished versions of
NSS? I currently have JSS 3.2 (again that's what's published on the mozilla
ftp site ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/security/jss/releases/)

-- POC

Both of these functions are exported in NSS 3.5 and above.
NSS 3.6 was just released, and is already a part of the Mozilla browser. 
You can pull the source tree from NSS_3_6_BRANCH .
As far as the Mozilla web site, 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ is the address. It 
doesn't seem that we have any info about anything past 3.4 .

So here is what's missing .

NSS 3.5 was a release for the Mozilla browser only. No other products 
are known to use it. You can pull it from NSS_3_5_BRANCH if interested.

NSS 3.6 is a release for a broader range of products, and contains many 
performance enhancements, in particular with revocation (CRLs).

See 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/nss-3.6/nss-3.6-plan.html 
. It doesn't appear there is a link to that document frmo anywhere else 
on Mozilla.

FYI, here is what we are working on now, though the feature list for NSS 
3.7 is still subject to change :
