1 plocate 1.0.4, October 16th, 2020
3 - Fix a bug where plocate.db would be evicted from the OS cache
4 (the behavior was only meant for benchmarking).
6 - On fallback linear scans, such as regexes or very short patterns,
7 use multithreading to speed up the search.
10 plocate 1.0.3, October 15th, 2020
12 - Portability fixes; plocate will now compile and run on non-x86
13 architectures (although without SIMD optimizations). Note that
14 plocate.db is not portable across endians, but this shouldn't
15 be a big problem in practice.
17 - Filenames are now compressed using a shared zstd dictionary,
18 which makes plocate.db ~7% smaller, and linear scans ~20% faster.
19 This makes plocate-build ~20% slower, though, since it needs to
20 scan through mlocate.db in a special pre-pass to sample filenames
23 This changes the dictionary format (from version 0 to version 1),
24 but the new plocate can still read version 0 dictionaries,
25 so the transition should be seamless.
30 plocate 1.0.2, October 12th, 2020
35 plocate 1.0.1, October 11th, 2020
37 - Unbreak linear scanning (for very short patterns, or regexes).
