[Wan-Teh Chang]

The NSPR 4.8 Beta 1 release is now available. The
CVS tag is NSPR_4_8_BETA1. You can download the
source tarball from
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/nspr/releases/v4.8beta1/src/

Schedule:

I plan to release NSPR 4.8 shortly after the first
Firefox 3.5 release candidate is released. If you need
NSPR 4.8 released sooner, please let me know.

Platform requirements:

Windows 9x (95, 98, Me) and NT 3.51 and 4.0 are no
longer supported.

Windows Mobile and Mac OS X 64-bit (x86_64) are
now supported.

New macros:

prlock.h: PR_ASSERT_CURRENT_THREAD_OWNS_LOCK
prmon.h: PR_ASSERT_CURRENT_THREAD_IN_MONITOR

New features:

The special log module __timestamp adds timestamps
to NSPR log messages:

The format of the timestamps is not final, so I'd appreciate
it if you could try it and post your comments in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86396
