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.
