+ o Major features (experimental, library support):
+ - Tor now has _partial_ support for using the NSS cryptography library in
+ place of OpenSSL. When Tor is configured with --enable-nss, it will
+ use NSS for several (but not yet all) of its cryptography. (It still
+ relies on OpenSSL for the rest.) Eventually, if all goes as planned,
+ "--enable-nss" will produce a version of Tor that does not depend on
+ OpenSSL. Implements ticket 26816.
+
+ WARNING: This feature is experimental. Don't use it for real security
+ yet, until the code has had much more review, and more bugs have been
+ shaken out.
