[Daniel's week] May 18, 2026

[Daniel Stenberg]

Hi

I've been busy. With security reports and preparing slides for a little too 
many talks in my near future, including curl up in Prague next weekend.

This made me not prioritize writing the weekly email this weekend and you get 
this short lame excuse instead.

Last Thursday we got 18 new security reports within 24 hours (ironically on a 
national holiday where I was mostly away from the keyboard). Two years ago 
that amount equalled two months worth of reports - now received in a single 
day. Those have *mostly* been assessed by now and we're working on patches. 
The thing with these is that we don't want to lag behind too much because we 
don't know when the next 18-issue day comes again.

The moment I write this, we have 7 confirmed vulnerabilities to announce with 
the next release. Low and Medium severities.

This coming weekend we have curl up, with 34 persons signed up it seems like 
it can become a fun and busy time! I might not get to do a weekly email then 
but I'll try.
