Why have I received this message, when the reply to the NetSurf list list
has been already posted on the list?

TLS Security NS 3.8
by ferrite61＠yahoo.com
Little more than a week ago I posted about the Security Certs for NS 3.8. I was not aware at that time that NS 3.9 was already available (I was using a link provided for D/L of 3.8). Since there has been other bugs/problems, I thought to provide the actual results. The location of this Qualys Client Test is
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html
Presuming the Certs are within NS 3.8, it would appear that the "weak" certs be removed for added security. I did not receive an answer to the question if the certs are tapped from the Distribution or the Browser. So, here are the results...

3.9 Release
by Vincent Sanders
A lot of features and bug fixes have happened since the 3.8 release so
I am considering producing a 3.9 soon.
The merging of the work to add css media queries has resulted in much
improved rendering on many web sites including making our handling of
CSS length [1] calculations much more sensible especially useful on
higher DPI displays.
The completion of the monkey test frontend harness and associated
infrastructure has resulted in numerous issues being discovered and
resolved especially making the javascript support more robust.
Additional testing also means our handling of some core things like
HTTP headers and basic web authentication has improved and should not
regress in future.
There have also been a great number of resource leaks fixed improving
the browsers overall memory usage.
I had intended to release before now but testing kept revealing
issues, however I now believe that we are ready for a 3.9 release
candidate on Sunday June 16th with the actual release on Saturday June
22nd unless critical bugs are discovered.
If anyone has a reasonable objection to this please let me know as
soon as possible and I will reconsider.
