This means, on the Extended Support Release (ESR) branch, we have:
- fixed the NSPR version to the final release
- upgraded to NSS 3.13.3, which contains a fix to actively distrust the 
Trustwave MITM subCAs.

Please prepare to update NSPR/NSS to these versions with the next 
Firefox ESR 10.0.x release.

This means the not-yet-released Firefox 11 will contain at least version 
NSS 3.13.3.
(In theory it's still possible that Firefox 11 will updated again, this 
possibility always exists.)

FYI, Version updates on branches mozilla-aurora and mozilla-central will 
automatically propagate to the next branch, at the next scheduled dates, 
according to Mozilla's rapid release calendar, see 
https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar

You will get an additional reminder email whenever such an automatic 
propagation will cause the version numbers on the closer-to-release 
mozilla-beta branch changes.
However, the update notification for mozilla-aurora and mozilla-central 
can often give you ahead warning that "something is coming".

Sometimes updates on mozilla-central/mozilla-aurora are being done as a 
matterof general development.
Sometimes such updates are simply a quick test before the updated 
versions will be propagated into all branches, e.g. for emergency 
security udpates.
If you see such an update, and you're unsure what will happen next, 
please ask.

Ideally we should use these automatic announcement messages as a 
reminder, that an explanation is necessary, and send it to this list.
