+The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
+version `286`. This version includes the following changes:
+
+```
+[ Chris Lamb ]
+* Bug fixes:
+  - When passing files on the command line, don't call specialize(..) before
+    we've checked that the files are identical. In the worst case, this was
+    resulting in spinning up binwalk and extracting two entire filesystem
+    images merely to confirm that they were indeed filesystem images..
+    before simply concluding that they were identical anyway.
+  - Do not exit with a traceback if paths are inaccessible, either directly,
+    via symbolic links or within a directory. (Closes: #1065498)
+  - Correctly identify changes to only the line-endings of files; don't mark
+    them as "Ordering differences only".
+  - Use the "surrogateescape" mechanism of str.{decode,encode} to avoid a
+    UnicodeDecodeError and crash when decoding zipinfo output that is not
+    valid UTF-8. (Closes: #1093484)
+* Testsuite changes:
+  - Don't mangle newlines when opening test fixtures; we want them untouched.
+  - Move to assert_diff in test_text.py.
+* Misc:
+  - Remove unnecessary return value from check_for_ordering_differences in
+    the Difference class.
+  - Drop an unused function in iso9600.py
+  - Inline a call/check of Config().force_details; no need for an additional
+    variable.
+```
