Summary     : Python bindings for Network Security Services (NSS)
Description :
This package provides Python bindings for Network Security Services
(NSS) and the Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR).

NSS is a set of libraries supporting security-enabled client and
server applications. Applications built with NSS can support SSL v2
and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME, X.509 v3
certificates, and other security standards. Specific NSS
implementations have been FIPS-140 certified.

ChangeLog:

* Mon Oct  8 2012 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com> - 0.13-0
- Update to version 0.13
  Introduced in 0.13:

  * Fix NSS SECITEM_CompareItem bug via workaround.

  * Fix incorrect format strings in PyArg_ParseTuple* for:
    - GeneralName
    - BasicConstraints
    - cert_x509_key_usage

  * Fix bug when decoding certificate BasicConstraints extension
	
  * Fix hang in setup_certs.

  * For NSS >= 3.13 support CERTDB_TERMINAL_RECORD

  * You can now query for a specific certificate extension
    Certficate.get_extension()

  * The following classes were added:
    - RSAGenParams

  * The following class methods were added:
    - nss.nss.Certificate.get_extension
    - nss.nss.PK11Slot.generate_key_pair
    - nss.nss.DSAPublicKey.format
    - nss.nss.DSAPublicKey.format_lines

  * The following module functions were added:
    - nss.nss.pub_wrap_sym_key

  * The following internal utilities were added:
    - PyString_UTF8
    - SecItem_new_alloc()

  * The following class constructors were modified to accept
    intialization parameters

    - KEYPQGParams (DSA generation parameters)

  * The PublicKey formatting (i.e. format_lines) was augmented
    to format DSA keys (formerly it only recognized RSA keys).

  * Allow lables and values to be justified when printing objects

  * The following were deprecated:
    - nss.nss.make_line_pairs (replaced by nss.nss.make_line_fmt_tuples)

    Deprecated Functionality:
    -------------------------
    - make_line_pairs() has been replaced by make_line_fmt_tuples()
      because 2-valued tuples were not sufficently general. It is
      expected very few programs will have used this function, it's mostly
      used internally but provided as a support utility.
