Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 200 of diffoscope.

diffoscope tries to get to the bottom of what makes files or
directories different. It will recursively unpack archives of many
kinds and transform various binary formats into more human-readable
form to compare them. It can compare two tarballs, ISO images, or PDF
just as easily.

Version 200 includes the following changes:

  * Even if a Sphinx .inv inventory file is labelled "The remainder of this
    file is compressed using zlib", it might not actually be. In this case,
    don't traceback, and simply return the original content.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#299)
  * Update "X has been modified after NT_GNU_BUILD_ID has been applied" message
    to, for instance, not duplicating the full filename in the primary
    diffoscope's output.

## Download

Version 200 is available from Debian unstable as well as PyPI, and
will shortly be available on other platforms surely. More details can
be found here:

   https://diffoscope.org/

? but source tarballs may be located here:

  https://diffoscope.org/archive/

The corresponding Docker image may be run via (for example):

  $ docker run --rm -t -w $(pwd) -v $(pwd):$(pwd):ro \
      registry.salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope a b

Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 202 of diffoscope.

diffoscope tries to get to the bottom of what makes files or
directories different. It will recursively unpack archives of many
kinds and transform various binary formats into more human-readable
form to compare them. It can compare two tarballs, ISO images, or PDF
just as easily.

Version 202 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Don't fail if comparing a nonexistent file with a .pyc file (and add test).
    (Closes: #1004312)
  * Drop a reference in the manual page which claims the ability to compare
    non-existent files on the command-line. This has not been possible since
    version 32 which was released in September 2015. (Closes: #1004182)
  * Add experimental support for incremental output support with a timeout.
    Passing, for example, --timeout=60 will mean that diffoscope will not
    recurse into any sub-archives after 60 seconds total execution time has
    elapsed and mark the diff as being incomplete. (Note that this is not a
    fixed/strict timeout due to implementation issues.)
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#301)
  * Don't return with an exit code of 0 if we encounter device file such as
    /dev/stdin with human-readable metadata that matches literal, non-device,
    file contents. (Closes: #1004198)
  * Correct a "recompile" typo.

  [ Sergei Trofimovich ]
  * Fix/update whitespace for Black 21.12.
