IMO it might be clearer to call the symbols-in-versions 'Removed' version field as 'Last'. When someone says xxx was removed in yyy most would interpret that as xxx isn't in yyy, but in this case removed refers to last version that featured symbol. Also @bagder e765afc says you have a tool for this... don't suppose you remember from 10 years ago... could use another scan.

Yeah, last sounds like a better field name. I don't remember how I did that scan but I'm pretty sure it was a custom perl script I wrote for that specific purpose and I don't think I kept it, I'm sorry to say. Trying to repeat it,, it would probably check what's in the public headers for release tags over time.

Yes, I agree, that's how I interpreted it. When I pushed the qsossl removal commit, LIBCURL_VERSION was 7.38.1-DEV, but the next actual version tag was not yet known. Using last rather than removed clearly allows to only deal with established tagged version numbers at a given time.

... and also change the 'Removed' column name to 'Last' since that
column is for the last version to contain the symbol.
