Daniel Stenberg ☛ A curl 2025 review
Let’s take a look back and remember some of what this year brought. commits At more than 3,400 commits we did 40% more commits in curl this year than any single previous year!

Meaning that out of all the lines ever added in the curl repository, I have now added less than half.

• connected the client via FreshRSS.
