NSS 3.63 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 3.63 
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.

Bugs discovered should be reported by filing a bug report with 
bugzilla.mozilla.org <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/> (product NSS).
