Hi,
The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of
version 300 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 300 includes the following changes:
[ "Alex" ]
* Fix a regression and add a test so that diffoscope picks up differences
in metadata for identical files again. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#411)
## Download
Version 300 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:

The corresponding Docker image may be run via (for example):
$ docker run --rm -t -w $(pwd) -v $(pwd):$(pwd):ro \
