Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 244 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 244 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Address compatibility with python-libarchive-c version 5.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#344)
  * Testsuite changes:
    - Mark that test_dex::test_javap_14_differences requires procyon.
    - Fix "test skipped" textual reason generation in the case of a required
      version being outside of the required range.
    - Temporarily mark some Android-related as XFAIL due to Debian bugs
      #1040941 and #1040916.

## Download

Version 244 is available from Debian unstable as well as PyPI, and
will shortly be available on other platforms surely. More details can
be found here:

… but source tarballs may be located here:

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
