From: Daniel Stenberg via curl-library <curl-library_at_cool.haxx.se>
Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2020 07:53:18 +0100 (CET)

Hi friends!

I'm happy to announce a fresh curl release. Pay extra attention to the three
separate security advisories fixed in this release, to be announced separately
just after this email.

curl is available as usual from the curl website, and this is the first
release we do using the new domain:

   https://curl.se/

Thanks to all awesome contributors!
