Rsync three point five has landed, and the maintainers aren't underselling it — they're calling it an extraordinary release, and for good reason. The update patches thirty-three security vulnerabilities in the venerable file-synchronization tool, which quietly underpins backups and deployments across millions of systems worldwide.
