Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 278 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 278 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Temporarily remove procyon-decompiler from Build-Depends as it was removed
    from testing (#1057532). (Closes: #1082636)
  * Add a helpful contextual message to the output if comparing Debian .orig
    tarballs within .dsc files without the ability to "fuzzy-match" away the
    leading directory. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#386)
  * Correctly invert "X% similar" value and do not emit "100% similar".
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#391)
  * Update copyright years.

## Download

Version 278 is available from Debian unstable as well as PyPI, and
will shortly be available on other platforms surely. More details can
be found here:

… but source tarballs may be located here:

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