+- Improve package scan performance by:
+
+  - Skipping binary package detection steps by default,
+    and introducing a new CLI option ``--package-in-compiled``
+    to detect packages in compiled binaries like rust/go binaries
+    Note: previously these were detected in ``--package`` CLI
+    option directly but this is no longer the case, you've to
+    use the new ``--package-in-compiled`` to detect packages
+    from go/rust and other binaries
+
+  - Creating cached regex patterns and multiregex pre-matchers,
+    for a fast package path detection filtering step
