Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 223 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 223 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * The cbfstools utility is now provided in Debian via the coreboot-utils
    Debian package, so we can enable that functionality within Debian.
    (Closes: #1020630)

  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Also include coreboot-utils in Build-Depends and Test-Depends so it is
    available for the tests.

  [ Jelle van der Waa ]
  * Add support for file 5.43.

## Download

Version 223 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
