Changelog for python-nss-0.9-8.fc13.i686.rpm :
Thu Jul 15 14:00:00 2010 John Dennis - 0.9-8
- Correct definciencies in auth_certificate_callback found in several
of the example files and documentation. If you\'ve copied that code
you should merge those changes in.

- Unicode objects now accepted as well as str objects for
interfaces expecting a string.

- Sockets were enhanced thusly:
- Threads will now yield during blocking IO.
- Socket.makefile() reimplemented
file object methods that had been missing (readlines(), sendall(),
and iteration) were implemented, makefile now just returns the same
Socket object but increments an \"open\" ref count. Thus a Socket
object behaves like a file object and must be closed once for each
makefile() call before it\'s actually closed.
- Sockets now support the iter protocol
- Add Socket.readlines(), Socket.sendall()

- The following classes were added:
AuthKeyID
BasicConstraints
CRLDistributionPoint
CRLDistributionPts
CertificateExtension
GeneralName
SignedCRL
DN
RDN
AVA
CertificateRequest

- Apply patches from Miloslav Trmač
for ref counting and threading support. Thanks Miloslav!

- Review all ref counting, numerous ref counting fixes

- Implement cyclic garbage collection support by
adding object traversal and clear methods

- Identify static variables, move to thread local storage

- Remove python-nss specific httplib.py, no longer needed
python-nss now compatible with standard library
