+NSS 3.27.1 release notes
+========================
+
+`Introduction <#introduction>`__
+--------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ Network Security Services (NSS) 3.27.1 is a patch release for NSS 3.27.
+
+.. _distribution_information:
+
+`Distribution Information <#distribution_information>`__
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ The HG tag is NSS_3_27_1_RTM. NSS 3.27.1 requires NSPR 4.13 or newer.
+
+ NSS 3.27.1 source distributions are available on ftp.mozilla.org for secure HTTPS download:
+
+ - Source tarballs:
+ https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_27_1_RTM/src/
+
+.. _new_in_nss_3.27.1:
+
+`New in NSS 3.27.1 <#new_in_nss_3.27.1>`__
+------------------------------------------
+
+.. _new_functionality:
+
+`New Functionality <#new_functionality>`__
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. container::
+
+ No new functionality is introduced in this release. This is a patch release to address a TLS
+ compatibility issue which some applications experienced with NSS 3.27.
+
+.. _notable_changes_in_nss_3.27.1:
+
+`Notable Changes in NSS 3.27.1 <#notable_changes_in_nss_3.27.1>`__
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ Availability of the TLS 1.3 (draft) implementation has been re-disabled in the default build.
+
+ Previous versions of NSS made TLS 1.3 (draft) available only when compiled with
+ NSS_ENABLE_TLS_1_3. NSS 3.27 set this value on by default, allowing TLS 1.3 (draft) to be
+ disabled using NSS_DISABLE_TLS_1_3, although the maximum version used by default remained TLS
+ 1.2.
+
+ However, some applications query the list of protocol versions that are supported by the NSS
+ library, enabling all supported TLS protocol versions. Because NSS 3.27 enabled compilation of
+ TLS 1.3 (draft) by default, it caused those applications to enable TLS 1.3 (draft). This resulted
+ in connectivity failures, as some TLS servers are version 1.3 intolerant, and failed to negotiate
+ an earlier TLS version with NSS 3.27 clients.
+
+ NSS 3.27.1 once again requires NSS_ENABLE_TLS_1_3 to be deliberately set to enable TLS 1.3
+ (draft).
+
+.. _bugs_fixed_in_nss_3.27.1:
+
+`Bugs fixed in NSS 3.27.1 <#bugs_fixed_in_nss_3.27.1>`__
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ - The following bug has been fixed in NSS 3.27.1: `Re-disable TLS 1.3 by
+ default <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1306985>`__
+
+`Compatibility <#compatibility>`__
+----------------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ NSS 3.27.1 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 NSS 3.27.1 shared libraries
+ without recompiling or relinking. 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.
+
+`Feedback <#feedback>`__
+------------------------
+
+.. container::
+
+ Bugs discovered should be reported by filing a bug report with
+ `bugzilla.mozilla.org <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=NSS>`__ (product NSS). \ No newline at end of file
