+plocate 1.0.6, October 30th, 2020
+
+  - Escape unprintable characters, quotes, newlines and the likes
+    when outputting file names to a terminal, similar to GNU ls.
+    This is to reduce the security impact of malicious filenames
+    (e.g. containing color or more nefarious escape codes).
+    It is not active when using -0, or when piping to another program.
+
+  - Support building databases from plaintext files (plocate-build -p).
+
+  - Portability fixes.
+
+
+plocate 1.0.5, October 17th, 2020
+
+  - Implement the -b/--basename option.
+
+  - Various bugfixes.
+
+
+plocate 1.0.4, October 16th, 2020
+
+  - Fix a bug where plocate.db would be evicted from the OS cache
+    (the behavior was only meant for benchmarking).
+
+  - On fallback linear scans, such as regexes or very short patterns,
+    use multithreading to speed up the search.
+
+
+plocate 1.0.3, October 15th, 2020
+
+  - Portability fixes; plocate will now compile and run on non-x86
+    architectures (although without SIMD optimizations). Note that
+    plocate.db is not portable across endians, but this shouldn't
+    be a big problem in practice.
+
+  - Filenames are now compressed using a shared zstd dictionary,
+    which makes plocate.db ~7% smaller, and linear scans ~20% faster.
+    This makes plocate-build ~20% slower, though, since it needs to
+    scan through mlocate.db in a special pre-pass to sample filenames
+    for the dictionary.
+
+    This changes the dictionary format (from version 0 to version 1),
+    but the new plocate can still read version 0 dictionaries,
+    so the transition should be seamless.
+
+  - Various bugfixes.
+
+
 plocate 1.0.2, October 12th, 2020
 
   - Various bugfixes.
