We have just published the NSS 3.2 Project Plan.

The two main goals of the NSS 3.2 release are crypto performance and shared library/DLL support. The tentative final release date is Jan. 31, 2001.

We will test the release on our usual list of platforms. If your platform is not in the list and you can help us run the NSS QA test on your platform, please let us know.

Comments are welcome.
