1. Introduction

The NSPR 4.0.1 release is now available at /m/dist/nspr20/v4.0.1 (or equivalently, /share/builds/components/nspr20/v4.0.1). This release is a patch release for the NSPR 4.0 release.  Please refer to the NSPR 4.0 release notes for basic information.  This release notes focuses on the changes between NSPR releases 4.0 and 4.0.1.

2. Changes in this release

This release fixes bugs applicable to the Windows NT version of NSPR only. Only Windows binaries have been generated.

2.1 Bug fixes

The following bugs are fixed in this release.

1. BugZilla #31120: ntio.c: _PR_Unblock_IO_Wait sets the wrong thr_bound_cpu..
2. BugZilla #43337: PR_GetPeerName() asserts.
3. BugZilla #39967: Crash due to missing stylesheet.
4. Change to config/win32.mk to re-enable optimization (-O2). This change improves performance of the optimized build. Co-requisite to this change is use of the Microsoft C/C++ compiler 6.0 with Service Pack 4 (SP4) to build NSPR.

 3. Reporting bugs

Bugs discovered should be reported by filing bug reports.  If you can describe a bug without giving any proprietary information, you should file the bug report in mozilla.org's bug database Bugzilla.  You will need a Bugzilla account, which can be obtained easily from the Bugzilla main page.  If proprietary information cannot be avoided in a bug description, you can file the bug report in Bugsplat.

The following information is required in a bug report

  • platform (Solaris 2.6, HP-UX 11.0, etc.)
  • number of cpus in the system
  • a stack trace, in the event of a crash
