+<h3>Rsync version 3.4.4 released</h3>
+<i class=date>June 8th, 2026</i>
+
+<p>Rsync version 3.4.4 has been released. This is a regression fix
+ release for the issues that have been reported with the 3.4.3
+ security release. Many thanks to everyone who reported the issues
+ (see <a href="https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/NEWS#3.4.4">NEWS.md</a>
+ for credits).<p>
+ The 3.4.3 release had so many issues for two main reasons:
+ <ul>
+ <li>the 3.4 testsuite did not have broad enough coverage to
+ catch the regressions notices by users
+ <li>the nature of a security release prevents wide beta testing,
+ resulting in not enough manual testing in disparate environments
+ </ul>
+ To fix this for future releases we have greatly expanded the test
+ suite for 3.5 (currently in master) and grown the development
+ team, especially with more people with security expertise.
+ Thanks for your patience!
+
