Welcome Pete Cordell as #curl commit author 1293: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/14397
#curl


what people have been using for years already will start working in #curl 8.10.0: -vv, -vvv and -vvvv for more verbose logging.

Up until now, adding more vs did not do anything different.

PR by the awesome @icing


Here's one way to view the 28 transfer protocols #curl supports.

#curl


in the five days since the previous #curl release, we have merged 47 bugfixes and 9 new features

Busy days.

#curl


#curl's 265th command line option is called --skip-existing. Lets you completely skip a download if there is a local file present already.

https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13993

#curl


#curl's 264th command line option is --dump-ca-embed, coming in 8.10.0.

Starting in this version, the tool can get built with an embedded CA cert store.To allow it to work better completely stand-alone.

This new flag writes that built-in store to stdout.

#curl


Starting now, #curl shows extended help for a given command line option if you write it after --h. Like "curl -h --location" or "curl -h -O"

Shipping in the pending curl 8.10.0 in mid September.

Unpopular opinion: Damn cool kids with their HTTPs 3 and QUICs and whatevers. HTTP/1.1 was good enough for everyone!

They're adding all that fancy stuff into the new #cURL version, and it causes #Transmission to crash. How am I going to seed all these Linux images now?!

you are probably just afraid to find out, that #AI could rewrite #curl on a weekend 😉
#curl #AI


Bugfix rate in the #curl project is currently racing to an all-time high.

(yes, presumably this also means we insert more bugs as well as there need to be something to fix...)

#curl


The original #hackerone report for #curl's CVE-2024-7264: ASN.1 date parser overread is now published:

https://hackerone.com/reports/2629968


Very fun working in the #curl project, btw. Excellent people there, good coop, good vibes.

Issue reporters in general are experienced people where turnarounds are fast. Getting back with logs and verifying solutions.

Nice.😌

#curl


I added a section to everything #curl about what we do to mitigate backdoor attempts:

https://everything.curl.dev/project/security.html#backdoors-and-supply-chain-risks

Did I forget anything obvious?

#curl


The fifth QUIC backend being worked on for #curl could make the topology map look like this soon
#curl


Starting now, #curl is also apparently the curl "enterprise" on #GitHub.The curl enterprise owns the curl organization which owns the curl repository. From which you can build the curl tool.

Clearly we need more curl.

Welcome Joe Birr-Pixton as #curl commit author 1289: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/14317

(I deduped a few authors counted twice, so the count is a few less than previously)

#curl 8.9.1 is here

28 bugfixes, including a low severity CVE - seven days since the previous release.

https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/07/31/curl-8-9-1/

See you at 08:00 UTC for the live-stream

#curl


we got a new #curl security vulnerability reported *this morning*, and since we already had a patch release planned for tomorrow, well, we have worked like crazy through-out the day and the fix and the advisory and everything will be published tomorrow along with #curl 8.9.1

Never a dull moment in this factory.

#curl


I have this slide showing the 101(!) operating systems people have reported #curl to run on.

I now have a customer call scheduled about porting it to a 102nd...

#curl


I was nominated for the #Microsoft MVP program, but even though I am the main author of #curl that ships with #Windows since many years now, I barely know any "Microsoft technology" so I could not fill in the form without taking some... eh, "liberties".

I'm pretty confident they will just discard it and I will not be sorry.


In 2022 I became #curl's 1000th commit author and was congratulated as such until I had to confess to @bagder that I wasn't: I had used two distinct email addresses and was thus only the 999th.

The record (https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/01/30/1000-commit-authors/) doesn't reflect this, but it is my #sundayConfession


According to @bagder the stubborn way the #OpenSSL project is handling #QUIC implementation is directly responsible for delaying HTTP/3 adoption (1), and I tend to agree. When the project rejected the community QUIC patches and decided to go with their own design, it wasn't difficult to predict problems. This was proven right by the massive feature gaps (2) and performance issues (3) discovered by @icing when trying to marry OpenSSL QUIC to #curl. Even with API fixes released in version 3.3 the implementation is still inferior, and there is no good solution in sight.

Starting now, the #curl website offers changelog listings per-release. https://curl.se/ch/ always shows the latest release.

Old links still work of course and the old "all changes in a single page" will remain.
