  7# Version Numbers and Releases
  8
  9The command line tool curl and the library libcurl are individually
 10versioned, but they usually follow each other closely.
 11
 12The version numbering is always built up using the same system:
 13
 14       X.Y.Z
 15
 16- X is main version number
 17- Y is release number
 18- Z is patch number
 19
 20## Bumping numbers
 21
 22One of these numbers get bumped in each new release. The numbers to the right
 23of a bumped number are reset to zero.
 24
 25The main version number is bumped when *really* big, world colliding changes
 26are made. The release number is bumped when changes are performed or
 27things/features are added. The patch number is bumped when the changes are
 28mere bugfixes.
 29
 30It means that after release 1.2.3, we can release 2.0.0 if something really
 31big has been made, 1.3.0 if not that big changes were made or 1.2.4 if only
 32bugs were fixed.
 33
 34Bumping, as in increasing the number with 1, is unconditionally only affecting
 35one of the numbers (except the ones to the right of it, that may be set to
 36zero). 1 becomes 2, 3 becomes 4, 9 becomes 10, 88 becomes 89 and 99
 37becomes 100. After 1.2.9 comes 1.2.10. After 3.99.3, 3.100.0 might come.
 38
 39All original curl source release archives are named according to the libcurl
 40version (not according to the curl client version that, as said before, might
 41differ).
 42
 43As a service to any application that might want to support new libcurl
 44features while still being able to build with older versions, all releases
 45have the libcurl version stored in the `curl/curlver.h` file using a static
 46numbering scheme that can be used for comparison. The version number is
 47defined as:
 48
 49```c
 50#define LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM 0xXXYYZZ
 51```
 52
 53Where `XX`, `YY` and `ZZ` are the main version, release and patch numbers in
 54hexadecimal. All three number fields are always represented using two digits
 55(eight bits each). 1.2 would appear as "0x010200" while version 9.11.7
 56appears as `0x090b07`.
 57
 58This 6-digit hexadecimal number is always a greater number in a more recent
 59release. It makes comparisons with greater than and less than work.
 60
 61This number is also available as three separate defines:
 62`LIBCURL_VERSION_MAJOR`, `LIBCURL_VERSION_MINOR` and `LIBCURL_VERSION_PATCH`.
 63
 64## Past releases
 65
 66This is a list of all public releases with their version numbers and release
 67dates. The tool was called `httpget` before 2.0, `urlget` before 4.0 then
 68`curl` since 4.0. `libcurl` and `curl` are always released in sync, using the
 69same version numbers.
