I am wondering if it is possible if you guys can release libcurl 8.18.1 with
your change sooner than the 2026-03-04, so folks who are willing to move to
8.18 very soon (like my company) could take it?
I would be happy to offer you a quote for such a service, but otherwise the
answer is no.
We do release-cycle breaking patch releases only when there are "annoying
regressions" or serious security issues. This is neither (according to the
team that makes the decisions).
Further, the PR we discuss is not merged yet.
We already do curl releases as frequent as we do to make sure that no one has
to wait long for the next release. It is also easy for anyone to just patch
their own build or use a daily snapshot, should they want to test drive
changes before the pending release.
