+plocate 1.1.22, January 12th, 2024
+
+ - Revert the updatedb change in 1.1.21 that did not open
+ pruned paths; it broke pruning of paths that were not at the root
+ (e.g. /foo/bar, as opposed to /foo). Reported by David Caldwell.
+
+
+plocate 1.1.21, January 6th, 2024
+
+ - Improve interactions between pruning and bind mount detection
+ logic.
+
+ - Pruned paths are now not opened, which can be useful in certain
+ cases. Note that this does not (yet) apply to filesystems that
+ are pruned due to type and not due to paths; they are still opened
+ and then immediately closed again.
+
+
+plocate 1.1.20, December 31st, 2023
+
+ - Fix updatedb writing incomplete .db files under Termux.
+ Patch by Grisha Levit.
+
+ - Make the systemd timer run more consistently during the
+ night. Patch by Florian Schmaus.
+
+ - Add an (undocumented) flag --ignore-visibility to plocate,
+ giving the equivalent of building the database with
+ --require-visibility no. Drops setgid, of course, so you
+ will usually need to be root to use it.
+
+
+plocate 1.1.19, June 9th, 2023
+
+ - Various bugfixes; thanks to Tim Landscheidt, Nick Alcock
+ and sudhanshu goswami. In particular, this fixes a crash
+ with liburing 2.4.

+ - Support the --require-visibility flag in plocate-build.
+
+ - Various bugfixes.
+
+
+plocate 1.1.17, November 21st, 2022
+
+ - Return 1 if no matches were found. Patch by Clément Pit-Claudel.
+
+ - Various portability patches, thanks to Maciej Adamczyk,
+ Alfred Persson Forsberg, and the Alpine Linux packaging.
+
+
+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.
