+.. _new_functionality:
+
+`New Functionality <#new_functionality>`__
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. container::
+
+ - Added support for the TLS Record Size Limit Extension.
+ - When creating a certificate request (CSR) using certutil -R, an existing orphan private key
+ can be reused. Parameter -k may be used to specify the ID of an existing orphan key. The
+ available orphan key IDs can be displayed using command certutil -K.
+ - When using certutil -O to print the chain for a given certificate nickname, the new parameter
+ --simple-self-signed may be provided, which can avoid ambiguous output in some scenarios.
+
+ .. rubric:: New Functions
+ :name: new_functions
+
+ - *in secitem.h*
+
+ - **SECITEM_MakeItem** - Allocate and make an item with the requested contents
+
+ .. rubric:: New Macros
+ :name: new_macros
+
+ - *in ssl.h*
+
+ - **SSL_RECORD_SIZE_LIMIT** - used to control the TLS Record Size Limit Extension

+
+`Notable Changes in NSS 3.38 <#notable_changes_in_nss_3.38>`__
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ - Fixed `CVE-2018-0495 <https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-0495>`__ in `bug
+ 1464971 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1464971>`__.
+
+ - Various security fixes in the ASN.1 code.
+
+ - NSS automatically enables caching for SQL database storage on Linux, if it is located on a
+ network filesystem that's known to benefit from caching.
+
+ - When repeatedly importing the same certificate into an SQL database, the existing nickname
+ will be kept.

+
+ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?resolution=FIXED&classification=Components&query_format=advanced&product=NSS&target_milestone=3.38
+
+`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
+----------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ NSS 3.38 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 3.38 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). \ No newline at end of file
