Hi Everyone,

It's been a pretty busy few weeks, obviously. There is now a new release of curl available at ITUGLIB.

7.78.0 is available for both TNS/X and TNS/E. Builds were done to be compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 on both platforms. These are 32-bit builds because of a dependency on FLOSS (which is currently also 32-bit only).

The last builds for curl with OpenSSL 1.0.2 are:
* 7.77.0 on TNS/X - L-series
* 7.70.0 on TNS/E - J-series
We do not currently have plans to build curl anymore for the now deprecated OpenSSL 1.0.2 series, although, if you are desperate, please let us know.

We are also no longer shipping source code for curl because the standard download for curl will build without changes - our contributions were accepted, so NonStop is now a standard platform for curl. The ITUGLIB README has our configuration recipe if
you want to build curl yourself. Please note that curl 7.77.0 is the minimum required version that supports OpenSSL 3.0.0, according to the curl team, so don't try building an older version with 3.0.0.

Also, there are rumours flying around about curl 8.0. We are monitoring the situation closely for compatibility and functional changes.

The builds for OpenSSL 3.0.0 should work without issue when 3.0.0a comes out next week - stay tuned for that.

Next up on my plate is git 2.33.0 for OpenSSL 3.0.0, which I am looking at starting shortly - hopefully for release next week some time.

Cheers,
