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. + + +plocate 1.1.18, January 28th, 2023 + + - 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.
