diffoscope 276 released 💠

[Chris Lamb]

Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 276 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 276 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Also catch RuntimeError when importing PyPDF so that PyPDF or, crucially,
    its transitive dependencies do not cause diffoscope to traceback at runtime
    and build time. (Closes: #1078944, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#389)
  * Factor out a method for stripping ANSI escapes.
  * Strip ANSI escapes from the output of Procyon. Thanks, Aman Sharma!
  * Update copyright years.

## Download

Version 276 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:
