Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 265 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 265 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Ensure that tests with ">=" version constraints actually print the
    corresponding tool name. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#370)
  * Prevent odt2txt tests from always being skipped due to an impossibly new
    version requirement. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#369)
  * Avoid nested parens-in-parens when printing "skipping…" messages
    in the testsuite.

## Download

Version 265 is available from Debian unstable as well as PyPI, and
will shortly be available on other platforms surely. More details can
be found here:

   https://diffoscope.org/

… but source tarballs may be located here:

  https://diffoscope.org/archive/

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
