Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 273 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 273 includes the following changes:

   [ Chris Lamb ]
   * Factor out version detection in test_jpeg_image. (Re:
     reproducible-builds/diffoscope#384)
   * Ensure that 'convert' is from Imagemagick 6.x; we will need to update a
     few things with IM7. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#384)
   * Correct import of identify_version after refactoring change in 037bdcbb0.
 .
   [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
   * tests:
     + Add OpenSSH key test with a ed25519 key.
     + Skip the OpenSSH test with DSA key if openssh is >> 9.7
     + Support ffmpeg >= 7 that adds some extra context to the diff
   * Do not ignore testing in gitlab-ci.
   * debian:
     + Temporarily remove aapt, androguard and dexdump from the build/test
       dependencies as they are not available in testin/trixie.  Closes: #1070416
     + Bump Standards-Version to 4.7.0, no changes needed.
     + Adjust options to make sure not to pack the python s-dist directory
       into the debian source package.
     + Adjust the lintian overrides.
