+
+The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
+version `169`. This version includes the following changes:
+
+```
+[ Chris Lamb ]
+* Optimisations:
+  - Use larger buffer/block sizes when extracting files from libarchive-
+    based archives.
+  - Use a much-shorter CSS class (instead of "diffponct") to dramatically
+    reduce uncompressed HTML output.
+
+* Logging improvements:
+  - Don't emit "Unable to stat file" warning/debug messages; we have
+    entirely-artificial directory entries such as ELF sections which, of
+    course, never exist as filesystem files.
+  - Don't emit a "Returning a FooContainer" logging message - we already emit
+    "Instantiating a FooContainer" one and are unlikely to fail in the
+    middle.
+  - Format the report size logging messages when generating HTML reports.
+  - Add the target directory when logging which directory we are extracting
+    containers to.
+
+* Miscellaneous:
+  - Ignore "--debug" and similar arguments when creating a (hopefully useful)
+    temporary directory.
+  - Ensure all internal temporary directories have useful names.
+  - Clarify a comment regarding diffoscope not extracting excluded files.
+
+[ Vagrant Cascadian ]
+* Skip a DEX-related test if the "procyon" tool is unavailable.
+```
