'make test' builds and runs all tests we have in the project. They're
extensive.

We maintain ABI and API compatibility with previous releases since 2006. Of
course there can still be mistakes and glitches, but they should be rare.

I would probably go as far as to say that we do guarantee this:

As said, if you upgrade your libcurl anyway, why not go all the way into a
modern version rather than just going from ancient to a very old version?
(7.43.0 was released in June 2015.)

Compatibility isn't everything. We've also fixed literally *thousands* of bugs
since 7.43.0, some of which might be of interest to you too...
