YARA is dead, long live YARA-X

The report announces YARA-X, a Rust-based rewrite of YARA, focusing on better user experience, near rule-level compatibility, improved performance (especially for regex and complex loops), enhanced reliability and security, and developer-friendly APIs for Python, Go, and C. It explains why a full rewrite was chosen over incremental changes, confirms YARA will still receive maintenance while major new features target YARA-X, notes successful large-scale testing at VirusTotal, and invites users to test the beta and provide feedback.
