For a huge table of releases, number of bug fixes and more, see: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/releases.html The developers in the curl project do not have bandwidth or energy enough to maintain several branches or to spend much time on hunting down problems in old versions when chances are we already fixed them or at least that they've changed nature and appearance in later versions. When you experience a problem and want to report it, you really SHOULD include the version number of the curl you're using when you experience the issue. If that version number shows us that you're using an out-of-date curl, you should also try out a modern curl version to see if the problem persists or how/if it has changed in apperance. Even if you cannot immediately upgrade your application/system to run the latest curl version, you can most often at least run a test version or experimental build or similar, to get this confirmed or not. At times people insist that they cannot upgrade to a modern curl version, but instead they "just want the bug fixed". That's fine, just don't count on us spending many cycles on trying to identify which single commit, if that's even possible, that at some point in the past fixed the problem you're now experiencing. Security wise, it is almost always a bad idea to lag behind the current curl versions by a lot.
