Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 259 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 259 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Don't error-out with a traceback if we encounter "struct.unpack"-related
    errors when parsing .pyc files. (Closes: #1064973)
  * Fix compatibility with PyTest 8.0. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#365)
  * Don't try and compare rdb_expected_diff on non-GNU systems as %p formatting
    can vary. (Re: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#364)

## Download

Version 259 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
