+
+`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
+----------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+   NSS 3.69.1 shared libraries are backwards-compatible with all older NSS 3.x shared libraries. A
+   program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries will work with NSS 3.69.1 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.
+

+
+.. container::
+
+   Bugs discovered should be reported by filing a bug report on
+   `bugzilla.mozilla.org <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=NSS>`__ (product NSS).
+
+`Notes <#notes>`__
+------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+   NSS 3.69.1 is a dot release based on the content of Firefox 92. Due to some issues with
+   the process for bringing NSS releases to Firefox, commits for 1722613 and 1720226 were absent
+   from the Firefox 92 branch which was associated to NSS 3.69. Due to time constraints a decision
+   was made to align the content of 3.69.1 with the Fx92 branch by backing out these changes instead
+   of restoring these commits.
+
+   Note that Bug 1720226 was also known to introduce a performance regression that has been fixed
+   in the main/default branch of NSS (Bug 1726022). Since the change has been backed out in this
+   release, 3.69.1 does not suffer from that performance regression.
+
+   This fix is not in 3.69 (which is affected) but will be in the 3.70 branch, which benefits from
+   both the change and the fix for the regression.
+
+   The NSS 3.70 release is on schedule and will happen on September 2nd.
