Hi,
The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 301 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 301 includes the following changes:
[ Chris Lamb ]
* Avoid spurious differences in h5dump output caused by exposure of absolute
internal extraction paths. (Closes: #1108690)
* Use our_check_output in the ODT comparator.
* Memoize a number of calls to --version. Thanks, Jade! (Closes: #412)
* Update copyright years.
## Download
Version 301 is available from Debian as well as PyPI, and will
shortly be available on other platforms shortly. 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
