The release presentation mentioned above discusses some of the perhaps most significant ones. ## Coming next There a small set of pull-requests waiting to get merged, but other than that our future is not set and we greatly appreciate your feedback, submitted issues and provided pull-requests to guide us. If this release happens to include an annoying regression, there might be a patch release already next week. If we are lucky and it doesn’t, then we aim for a 8.18.0 release in the early January 2026.

From **March 20, 1998** when the first curl release was published, to this day **August 5, 2025** is exactly 10,000 days. We call it the curl-10000-day. Or just _c10kday_. c ten K day. We want to celebrate this occasion by collecting and sharing stories. Your stories about curl. Your favorite memories. When you used curl for the first time. When curl saved your situation. When curl rescued your lost puppy. What curl has meant or perhaps still means to you, your work, your business, or your life. We want to favor and prioritize the good, the fun, the nostalgic and the emotional stories but it is of course up to your discretion. We have created this thread in curl’s GitHub Discussion section for this purpose, so please go there and submit your story or read what others have shared. https://github.com/curl/curl/discussions/17930 In the curl factory this day is nothing special. We keep hammering out new features and bugfixes – just like we always do. Thanks for flying curl.
