Hi, The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of version 151 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 151 includes the following changes: [ Chris Lamb] . * Improvements and bug fixes: . - Pass the absolute path when extracting members from SquashFS images as we run the command with our working directory set to the temporary directory. (Closes: #964365, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#189) - Increase the minimum length of the output from strings(1) to 8 characters to avoid unnecessary diff noise. (Re. reproducible-builds/diffoscope#148) . * Logging improvements: . - Fix the compare_files message when the file does not have a literal name. - Reduce potential log noise by truncating the has_some_content messages. . * Codebase changes: . - Clarify use of a "null" diff in order to remember an exit code. - Don't alias a variable when don't end up it; use "_" instead. - Use a "NullChanges" file to represent missing data in the Debian package comparator. - Update some miscellaneous terms. ## Download Version 151 is available from Debian unstable as well as PyPI, and will shortly be available on other platforms surely.
