diffoscope 249 released 💠

[Chris Lamb]

Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 249 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 249 includes the following changes:

  [ FC Stegerman ]
  * Add specialize_as() method, and use it to speed up .smali comparison in
    APKs. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!108)

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Add documentation for the new specialize_as, and expand the documentation
    of `specialize` too. (Re: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!108)
  * Update copyright years.

  [ Felix Yan ]
  * Correct typos in diffoscope/presenters/utils.py.

## Download

Version 249 is available from Debian unstable as well as PyPI, and
will shortly be available on other platforms surely. More details can
be found here:
