plocate 1.1.16, June 4th, 2022

  - Various bugfixes.


plocate 1.1.15, January 31st, 2022

  - Various bugfixes.


plocate 1.1.14, December 27th, 2021

  - Add an option --add-single-prunepath.
    
    This makes it possible to prune a path with spaces in the file name,
    which was previously impossible.

  - Documentation updates.


plocate 1.1.13, November 6th, 2021

  - Various bugfixes.


plocate 1.1.12, October 5th, 2021

  - Implement the -N/--literal option. This matches the GNU coreutils option
    to turn off the automatic quoting of special characters when printing to
    a tty.

  - Various bugfixes, including from Arsen Arsenović.


plocate 1.1.11, September 5th, 2021

  - Fix a crash with --existing if scanning all blocks
    (ie., very short patterns, or --regex), by turning off
    asynchronous stat() in this case. Reported by Michael Arndt.


plocate 1.1.10, August 23rd, 2021

  - Various bugfixes, including from the Void Linux repository
    and from Arsen Arsenović.


plocate 1.1.9, August 18th, 2021

  - Support the -e (--existing) option from mlocate.

  - Make it possible to set systemunitdir explicitly.
    Based on a patch by Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek.


plocate 1.1.8, June 12th, 2021

  - Various bugfixes.


plocate 1.1.7, April 7th, 2021

  - Correct randomization of updatedb systemd unit start time.
    Patch by Vladimir Lomov.


plocate 1.1.6, April 2nd, 2021

  - Support searching multiple plocate databases, including the LOCATE_PATH
    environment variable. See the plocate(1) man page for more information.

  - Fix an issue where updatedb would not recurse into directories on
    certain filesystems, in particular the deprecated XFS V4.

  - Randomize updatedb systemd unit start time. Suggested by Calum McConnell.


plocate 1.1.5, February 24th, 2021

  - Various bugfixes.


plocate 1.1.4, February 14th, 2021

  - updatedb now uses ~15% less CPU time.

  - Installs a file CACHEDIR.tag into /var/lib/plocate, to mark the directory
    as autogenerated. Suggested by Marco d'Itri.

  - Manpage fixes; patch by Jakub Wilk.


plocate 1.1.3, December 19th, 2020

  - Various portability fixes.


plocate 1.1.2, December 10th, 2020

  - Various bugfixes.


plocate 1.1.1, December 5th, 2020

  - Fix an issue where the database could be built with the wrong
    check_visibility flag.


plocate 1.1.0, December 2nd, 2020

  - Include a native updatedb, based on code and man pages from mlocate's
    updatedb (but heavily tweaked and reworked). This removes the dependency
    on mlocate's database, at the expense of 1% larger plocate database.
    plocate-build does not write the needed timestamps, so the first upgrade
    from mlocate to native plocate requires a full rescan. Subsequent rescans
    will be about as fast as updatedb.mlocate + plocate-build. plocate-build
    is now deprecated.

  - The path name now defaults to /var/lib/plocate, and the group name now
    defaults to plocate. Both can be changed at configure time.

  - Databases are now written near-atomically. An aborted updatedb or
    plocate-build will never leave a stray file.

  - Escape filenames with backticks in them.


plocate 1.0.7, October 31st, 2020

  - Fix an infinite loop when encountering invalid UTF-8 in file names.
    Bug report and patch by Leah Neukirchen.

  - Typo fixes in man pages; patch by Leah Neukirchen.

  - Portability fixes.


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.


plocate 1.0.1, October 11th, 2020

  - Unbreak linear scanning (for very short patterns, or regexes).


plocate 1.0.0, October 11th, 2020

  - Initial release.
