Welcome Colin Leroy-Mira as #curl commit author 1257: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13137

tip for STF: the IBB bug-bounty (which #curl is part of) gives 20% of the bounty to the project and 80% to the reporter - which I think is nice because there is certainly work to be done from the project's part as well to deal with the issues ...
#curl


unfortunately, the new #openssl version does not do #QUIC good enough for #curl to consider removing the experimental label from it:

https://curl.se/mail/distros-2024-04/0001.html


the #curl docker image has been pulled 5966498898 times

should reach 6 billion in 10-12 days

I'll queue up a bragging blog post for the occasion.

when using a C compiler last patched nineteen years ago, on Solaris, there is this issue...

Today's episode in "ancient machines that never die" and they all (try to) run #curl.

"I was offered 2000 USD funding to the curl project, via a crypto currency and
an elaborate setup. I told them we happily accept funding but only as "real
money". They then declined to fund us." -- good riddance!

MPTCP support to #curl? https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13278
#curl


Today we celebrate @icing having reached 1.00% (319) of all commits done in #curl in only 863 days from his first merged commit. This makes him ranked the 12th author in #curl by number of merged commits.


Them: we're excited to offer the #curl project a grant of $2,000 in USDC.

(USDC? Quick Google. What's that?)

Me:Sorry, I'm not interested in any crypto currencies. If you can't pay real money then I'm not interested.

Docker-Sponsored Open Source (hub) insists that one cannot have a path to commercialisation - https://www.docker.com/community/open-source/application/#:~:text=Qualification%20Criteria ... seems parochial at best ... at worst why is docker hub getting involved ? Removing rate limiting as a benefit for us also seems to ignore that the benefit is almost entirely theirs. not sure #docker hub is for #curl


People often ask me if I ever have detected an attempt to plant a backdoor in #curl. But I have never. I use to say that exploiting a mistake, a security vulnerability, is a MUCH more likely attack scenario because trying to merge a backdoor is super difficult.

But that only goes for outsiders. An insider, a trusted maintainer since years back, of course has a much better opportunity to sneak in malicious code etc. Still not easy though.

Can I just say that I have created #curl releases "the #xz way" since the 90s: I generate the release tarballs on my machine. It makes the tarball have (generated) files included that are not present in git. It's a feature. But it also makes it harder for observers to figure out if the additional files are fine or not.

For people with an interest in #curl in distros, there is a new mailing list being setup for this specific purpose. Sign up to curl-distros here: https://lists.haxx.se/listinfo/curl-distros

Patching, issues, collaboration etc.

Four years ago I introduced the #curl dashboard to show updated project stats as graphs

https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2020/03/25/a-curl-dashboard/

It had 23 graphs back then. Today it has 64. All updated daily here:

https://curl.se/dashboard5.html

#curl


also note the new curl-distros mailing list mentioned there that we start just now to enhance communication between #curl and distros and between distros working with curl packaging
#curl


I would like to crowdsource help to populate this new #curl document called DISTROS. Help me with links/pointers to all "relevant" curl distros and their curl "homes".

On this day, twenty-three years ago, we shipped #curl 7.7 and introduced HTTP/1.1 support!

Coming soon on the #curl website. All TLS related options and which TLS backends that work with them...

When a person files an issue against an eleven year old #curl version, what exactly do they want us to do?
