 From the home page http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/
you get fairly rapidly get to here :
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/
where you can see all the official releases.

For recent changes, go here (it should be referred from the home page):
http://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS:Roadmap

NSS 3.12 is not an official release as can be seen on the ftp directory
where the most recent one is NSS_3_11_9_RTM (Feb 2008).

Now, as Firefox 3 needed some of the features only NSS 3.12 offers (for
EV support), the official version that's released next week includes a
pre-release version of NSS 3.12 (maybe that version will even become the
official NSS 3.12 later, I don't know).

And as Debian Unstable includes a RC of Firefox 3, it also includes that
version of NSS.

Use either 3.11.9, or the pre release of NSS 3.12 from Firefox.
The pre-realease is only tested in the context of Firefox though, even
if it should be sufficient to pretty well test it.
