   -  `Bug 1606992 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1606992>`__ - Cache the most
      recent PBKDF1 password hash, to speed up repeated SDR operations, important with the increased
      KDF iteration counts. NSS 3.49.1 sped up PBKDF2 operations, though PBKDF1 operations are also
      relevant for older NSS databases.

      problems with NEON-specific code in freebl

`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
----------------------------------

.. container::

   NSS 3.49.2 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 3.49.2 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.
