Hi, The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of version 153 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 153 includes the following changes: [ Chris Lamb ] * Drop some legacy argument styles; --exclude-directory-metadata and --no-exclude-directory-metadata have been replaced with --exclude-directory-metadata={yes,no}. * Code improvements: - Make it easier to navigate the main.py entry point. - Use a relative import for get_temporary_directory in diffoscope.diff. - Rename bail_if_non_existing to exit_if_paths_do_not_exist. - Rewrite exit_if_paths_do_not_exist to not check files multiple times. * Documentation improvements: - CONTRIBUTING.md: - Add a quick note about adding/suggesting new options. - Update and expand the release process documentation. - Add a reminder to regenerate debian/tests/control. - README.rst: - Correct URL to build job on Jenkins. - Clarify and correct contributing info to point to salsa.debian.org. ## Download Version 153 is available from Debian unstable as well as PyPI, and will shortly be available on other platforms surely.
