Hi friends,

I'm very happy to announce a fresh curl and libcurl release. This time we
mostly provide a series of bug fixes, including a security vulnerability fix.

We're now officially beyond 1500 bug fixes made since curl 6.0, which happened
over 4000 days ago... Thank you everyone who keep providing help, patches,
support, advice and more!

Get curl, as usual, from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
