+1.8 Bugs in old versions
+
+ The curl project typically releases new versions every other month, and we
+ fix several hundred bugs per year. 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 If that version number shows us that you're using an out-of-date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. We keeping discovering and reporting security problems
+ over time see you can see in this table:
+ https://curl.haxx.se/docs/vulnerabilities.html
