Daniel Stenberg observes
the 25th anniversary of the curl project.

We really have no idea exactly how many users or installations of
libcurl there are now. It is easy to estimate that it runs in way
more than ten billion installations purely based on the fact that
there are 7 billion smart phones and 1 billion tablets in the world
, and we know that each of them run at least one, but likely many
more curl installs.

Curl
8.0.0 has also been released (quickly followed by 8.0.1).
