Re[2]: libcurl version

Thanks a lot, but I don’t need it. I can build it from sources but the problem is when it builds from sources there is no tests there and nobody guaranteed that it will be stable.
I just need to know if libcurl.4.3.0 from the curl-7.29.0 fully compatible with libcurl.4.3.0 from curl-7.40 or 7.43 or it is not.
If they are compatible I don’t need to care about newest curl version in the target system. This is my problem, I don’t have enough to care about that.
