Products with long deployment lifecycles must continue receiving curl security fixes. Moving through frequent curl releases, however, can introduce unrelated features and behavioral changes, requiring additional integration and regression testing.
Join this webinar to learn how Rock-Solid curl supports a stable curl and libcurl release branch for five years. See how security and selected stability fixes are evaluated and delivered while API and ABI compatibility are maintained. The session will also explain the release-management process and support model so you can determine whether a long-term support (LTS) release fits your product.
What you will learn:
- When an LTS curl release makes sense for a deployed product
- What the five-year support commitment covers
- How security and stability fixes are selected and delivered
- How API and ABI compatibility are maintained
- How the release process limits regressions and unrelated changes
- What to consider when adopting Rock-Solid curl
Ask the Expert: Answers Key Questions
Our experts answer key questions about what attendees will learn
Why not simply remain on an older curl release?
Older releases can provide stability, but security maintenance may not continue for the lifetime of your product. An LTS branch addresses the gap between remaining static and regularly adopting new upstream releases.
Which fixes belong in a Rock-Solid curl release?
Security patches and selected stability fixes are considered, while unrelated features are excluded. The difficult part is determining which changes are necessary without altering established behavior.
How can an LTS branch reduce validation work?
A smaller, controlled change set can narrow the scope of integration and regression testing. The release process and compatibility boundaries determine how much validation can realistically be reduced.
