Hi,
The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 298 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 298 includes the following changes:
[ Chris Lamb ]
* Handle RPM's HEADERSIGNATURES and HEADERIMMUTABLE specially to avoid
unnecessarily large diffs. Based almost entirely on code by Daniel Duan.
(Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#410)
* Update copyright years.
## Download
Version 298 is available from Debian experimental as well as PyPI, and
will shortly be available on other platforms shortly. 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
