Curl is free and open software that compiles and runs under a wide variety of operating systems. Curl exists thanks to efforts from many contributors.
The most recent stable version of curl is version 7.24.0, released on 24th of January 2012. Currently, 105 of the listed archives are of the latest version.
Use the cURL command line tool or use libcurl from within your own programs.
Note especially that 7.24.0 fixes two separate security vulnerabilities: data injection attack for certain protocols and SSL CBC IV vulnerability when built to use OpenSSL
Yes, if you're already on 7.23.0 this upgrade only makes sense if you're using the curl tool on windows.
