`Documentation <#documentation>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. container::
For a list of the primary NSS documentation pages on mozilla.org, see `NSS
Documentation <../index.html#Documentation>`__. New and revised documents available since the
release of NSS 3.11 include the following:
- `Build Instructions for NSS 3.11.4 and above <../nss-3.11.4/nss-3.11.4-build.html>`__
--------------
`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. container::
NSS 3.12.2 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 3.12.2 shared libraries
without recompiling or relinking. Furthermore, applications that restrict their use of NSS APIs
to the functions listed in `NSS Public Functions <../ref/nssfunctions.html>`__ will remain
compatible with future versions of the NSS shared libraries.
