[diffoscope] diffoscope 291 released 💠

[Chris Lamb]

Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the (hasty) release
of version 291 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 291 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Make two required adjustments for the new version of the src:file package:
    - file(1) version 5.46 now emits "XHTML document" for .xhtml files, such as
      those found nested within our .epub tests. Therefore, match this string
      when detecting XML files. This was causing an FTBFS due to inconsistent
      indentation in diffoscope's output.
    - Require the new, upcoming, version of file(1) for a quine-related
      testcase after adjusting the expected output. Previous versions of
      file(1) had a duplicated "last modified, last modified" string for some
      Zip archives that has now been removed.
  * Add a missing subprocess import.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.7.2.
