Hi,

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 294 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 294 includes the following changes:

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Correct longstanding issue where many ">"-based version tests used in
    conditional fixtures were broken due to the lack of a __gt__ method.
    Thanks, Colin Watson! (Closes: #1102658)
  * Address a long-hidden issue in the test_versions testsuite where we weren't
    actually testing ">" as it was masked by the tests for equality in the
    testsuite.
  * Update copyright years.

## Download

Version 294 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:

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
