[diffoscope] diffoscope 302 released 💠

[Chris Lamb]

Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 302 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 302 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Mask stderr from the extract-vmlinux script.
  * Make it much more explicit that we return 'success' from the
    extract-vmlinux script instead of just falling through to the bottom of the
    script.
  * Use Difference.from_operation in an attempt to pipeline the output of
    extract-vmlinux, potentially avoiding it all residing in memory. This is an
    attempt to prevent out of memory issues on try.diffoscope.org.

  [ Siva Mahadevan ]
  * Use --print-armap long option with nm in the "ar" comparator for wider
    compatibility.

## Download

Version 302 is available from Debian as well as PyPI, and will
shortly be available on other platforms shortly. More details can be
