uutils findutils 0.9.0 is out! 🦀
We now have early `locate` and `updatedb`, because apparently finding files with `find` was not confusing enough!
Also: `-ok/-okdir`, better `xargs`, benchmarks, and 83.28% GNU test suite compatibility.
Reimplementing key part of operating systems in Rust

Great moment for Uutils, Rust, and open source!

Bringing cross-platform, Rust-based coreutils to more developers is exactly why this project exists: familiar Unix tools, native performance, and excellent implementation foundations.
