The version where the last fairy turns the curse into just a sleeping one is in the Perrault version It is carried over into the Brothers Grimm version as well.

Just for posterity:

It's important to remember that some of these tales were told years before being written down. What you often find today are the versions written down by the likes of those gentlemen. However there were no doubt other variations before and between those writings. So it's hard to be able to say "who" added or took away parts of these stories, and to find out when certain parts changed. But we can look to see what elements are different between the printed versions we have.

If you ever get your chance to browse some older surviving fairy tale collections, you might get lucky and find some of those alternate versions that some of which probably are still out there to be found.
