oldest #curl version in a bug report filed today, and we're not even at 9am yet: 7.4 years

#curl 8.14.1 with Daniel Stenberg

https://youtu.be/vpz7_NMGY6s

How does #curl connect to which host when doing HTTP? First draft.

I dare to claim that few software projects, open or closed, do better, more detailed and more specific security advisories than #curl does.

If there ever is any detail around a #curl CVE you miss or you find an error in, I hope you tell us.

#curl 8.14.1 is out

Welcome Jeremy Drake as #curl commit author 1376: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/17528

24 hours to next #curl release: 8.14.1

In today's #curl git stats, we can spot that @icing has climbed to all-time committer number seven based on number of commits (665).

Number three based on number of added lines (116,415).

And yet his first commit was merged as late as November 2021. It's never too late to make an impact.

Thanks Stefan!

There is apparently a #curl version you can install with winget on Windows.

But who makes it and who decides how to build it? I don't know. And it isn't easy to figure that out either.

Are you interested in helping out to make a Network.framework SSL backend for #curl?

The Secure Transport one is going away and this could be a new way to use the native Apple system.

But code does not write itself. There is an embryo started, but it needs love.

From the department of useless numbers:

Since the year 2000, I have committed to the #curl source git repository on 5,400 individual dates. 58% of all days since.

Did my duty for the pending #curl patch release on Wednesday. The photo.

assessing #curl security reports on a Saturday while my freshly baked rhubarb crumble pie is cooling off

surprised #user upgrading curl from an 8 years old version to a modern one: what? it requires 64bit integer types now?

So yeah, those users are still out there.

Imagine the craziness, a software in 2025 that REQUIRES a 64 bit integer type. The boldness.

And you thought #curl was conservative!

Referring sites for visitors to #curl's GitHub repository over the last 14 days.

Interesting I think.
