40
41   -  `Bug 1603628 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1603628>`__ - Update NSS to support
42      PKCS #11 v3.0.
43
44      -  Note: This change modifies the CK_GCM_PARAMS struct to include the ulIvBits field which,
45         prior to PKCS #11 v3.0, was ambiguously defined and not included in the NSS definition. If
46         an application is recompiled with NSS 3.52+, this field must be initialized to a value
47         corresponding to ulIvLen. Alternatively, defining NSS_PKCS11_2_0_COMPAT will yield the old
48         definition. See the bug for more information.

141`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
142----------------------------------
143
144.. container::
145
146   NSS 3.52 shared libraries are backward compatible with all older NSS 3.x shared libraries. A
147   program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries will work with NSS 3.52 shared libraries
148   without recompiling or relinking. Furthermore, applications that restrict their use of NSS APIs
149   to the functions listed in NSS Public Functions will remain compatible with future versions of
150   the NSS shared libraries.
