`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__

----------------------------------

.. container::

   NSS 3.94 shared libraries are backwards-compatible with all older NSS 3.x shared

   libraries. A program linked with older NSS 3.x shared libraries will work with

   this new version of the 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.
