But this morning package managers on Linux and MacOS seemed to insgall 8.18.0_1.
Packagers often do additional releases when things change. The version number would hint that this is still 8.18.0 from curl, but something was changed in the packaging end and they added _1 to it.
curl project version numbers would never have an underscore and are at most three numbers with dots in between.
