The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

*** libnspr4-4.10.3-1
*** libnspr-devel-4.10.3-1
*** nss-3.15.3.1-1
*** libnss3-3.15.3.1-1
*** libnss-devel-3.15.3.1-1

Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides a platform-neutral API for
system-level and libc-like functions.

Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed
to support cross-platform development of security-enabled client and
server applications.

This is an update to the latest upstream stable releases, and includes 
fixes for proper operation on x86_64.  Also, the following changes have 
been made to the NSS packaging:

* The nssckbi module (containing the root certificates) is now provided 
by p11-kit-trust and ca-certificates.  This means all the major 
cryptography libraries now use a single source of root certificates on 
the system, which avoids the need to update nss solely for root 
certificate updates, and allows system administrators to add or override 
the defaults.  Fedora has been doing this since F19, as described here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SharedSystemCertificates

* An nss-debuginfo package is now available.
