+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.
