Because the sponsors of the NSS developers have put all their emphasis on development of code, and not on documentation. > I'm 100% sure that I found it at some time, but unfortunately I didnt > bookmark it ... > I think I've read some time ago that NSS_Initialize() is now deprecated; > but if so nevertheless you should document it, and mention there that its > now deprecated. It is certainly not deprecated. NSS_Initialize is *THE* single most flexible and powerful (and complex) way to initialize NSS. All the other NSS_Init* functions are essentially wrapper functions for it. I think it may be correctly said that some of the optional features that can be enabled through the use of NSS_Initialize (such as NSS_INIT_COOPERATE) are now deprecated, but NSS_Initialize itself is certainly not. > Günter. -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
