diffoscope 275 released 💠

[Chris Lamb]

Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 275 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 275 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Update the test_zip.py text fixtures and definitions to support new changes
    to IO::Compress. (Closes: #1078050)
  * Do not call marshal.loads(...) of precompiled Python bytecode as it is
    inherently unsafe. Replace, at least for now, with a brief summary of the
    code section of .pyc files. (Re: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#371)
  * Don't bother to check the Python version number in test_python.py: the
    fixture for this test is deterministic/fixed.
  * Update copyright years.

## Download

Version 275 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:
