have you ever considered moving curl to using a date-based versioning scheme?

@ecn no. Because I think people prefer traditional versioning.

True, though I've always found it difficult to know how fresh any given curl version is by number alone, and given how infrequently y'all break the API

@ecn that's exactly why we added "release date" in the "curl -V" output!

that's good to know! Most of the time I'm looking at reports with just the version, without access to the system itself. I should ask about having them include the release date with that data.

I guess that might be instances of RHEL7, which technically is still supported until June 30? That should have at least the security patches backported, maybe even some bugfixes.

@jagotu my experience says they are more often on end-of-lifed CentOS installs...

7.29.0 is the version included in #RHEL7 (and thus #CentOS7), which is very common in enterprise systems. The binary still report 7.29.0, but the RPM has had 59 patch releases since the initial release.

RHEL 7 is EOL on Sunday this week, so numbers might start to decline soon.

@malwareminigun yeps, I already linked my blog post in that thread. I'm pretty sure the audience on that list is aware.

The original question was however "on the web" so I think it was more about how come the browsers don't use it more than ~30%.
