Changelog:
The NSPR 4.13.1 release is now available. The hg tag is
NSPR_4_13_1_RTM. The source tar file can be downloaded from
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/nspr/releases/v4.13.1/src/
NSPR 4.13.1 contains a single bug fix.
The previously released version 4.13 had changed pipes to be
nonblocking by default, and as a consequence, PollEvent was changed
to not block on clear.
The NSPR development team received reports that these changes
caused regressions in some applications that use NSPR, and it
has been decided to revert the changes made in NSPR 4.13.
NSPR 4.13.1 restores the traditional behavior of pipes and PollEvent.
Changelog:
NSPR 4.13 has the following bug fixes:
* PL_strcmp (and others) were fixed to return consistent results
when one of the arguments is NULL.
* PollEvent was fixed to not block on clear.
* Pipes are always nonblocking.
* PR_GetNameForIdentity: added thread safety lock and bound checks.
* Removed the PLArena freelist.
* Avoid some integer overflows.
* fixed several comments.

NSPR_4_12_RTM. The source tar file can be downloaded from
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/nspr/releases/v4.12/src/
NSPR 4.12 has the following bug fixes:
* added a PR_GetEnvSecure function, which attempts to detect if the program
is being executed with elevated privileges, and returns NULL if detected.
It is recommended to use this function in general purpose library code.
* fixed a memory allocation bug related to the PR_*printf functions
* exported API PR_DuplicateEnvironment, which had already been added in
NSPR 4.10.9
* added support for FreeBSD aarch64

Changelog:
An important internal change in NSPR 4.10.5 is that the configure script
was generated using Autoconf 2.69 instead of Autoconf 2.13. If your
build system uses Autoconf and your configure script invokes NSPR's
configure script as a sub-configure, some adjustments may be necessary.
