Yesterday we saw 161 different versions of #curl make just over 1 million requests to www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com.

The oldest version is 7.0.0 (1 request).
The newest version is 8.15.0 (18,969 requests).

I'd spotted a load of different cURL versions in something else so was curious how many versions we see.

Screenshot of the Google BigQuery web UI which shows a table of results for a query over yesterday's access logs where user-agent like "curl/%".
There's a total of 1,010,489 requests.
curl/7.29.0 is the most popular version with 129,825 requests.

7.0.0 is probably not real. We only did beta versions of it, 7.1 was the first real curl 7. Released in 2000...
