1 plocate 1.0.6, October 30th, 2020
3 - Escape unprintable characters, quotes, newlines and the likes
4 when outputting file names to a terminal, similar to GNU ls.
5 This is to reduce the security impact of malicious filenames
6 (e.g. containing color or more nefarious escape codes).
7 It is not active when using -0, or when piping to another program.
9 - Support building databases from plaintext files (plocate-build -p).
14 plocate 1.0.5, October 17th, 2020
16 - Implement the -b/--basename option.
21 plocate 1.0.4, October 16th, 2020
23 - Fix a bug where plocate.db would be evicted from the OS cache
24 (the behavior was only meant for benchmarking).
26 - On fallback linear scans, such as regexes or very short patterns,
27 use multithreading to speed up the search.
30 plocate 1.0.3, October 15th, 2020
32 - Portability fixes; plocate will now compile and run on non-x86
33 architectures (although without SIMD optimizations). Note that
34 plocate.db is not portable across endians, but this shouldn't
35 be a big problem in practice.
37 - Filenames are now compressed using a shared zstd dictionary,
38 which makes plocate.db ~7% smaller, and linear scans ~20% faster.
39 This makes plocate-build ~20% slower, though, since it needs to
40 scan through mlocate.db in a special pre-pass to sample filenames
43 This changes the dictionary format (from version 0 to version 1),
44 but the new plocate can still read version 0 dictionaries,
45 so the transition should be seamless.
50 plocate 1.0.2, October 12th, 2020
55 plocate 1.0.1, October 11th, 2020
57 - Unbreak linear scanning (for very short patterns, or regexes).
60 plocate 1.0.0, October 11th, 2020
