The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
version 163
. This version includes the following changes:
[ Chris Lamb ]
* Bug fixes & new features:
- Normalise "ret" to "retq" in objdump output to support multiple versions
of obdump(1). (Closes: #976760, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#227)
- Don't show progress indicators when running zstd(1).
(Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#226)
- Move the slightly-confusing behaviour of loading an "existing diff" if a
single file is passed to diffoscope to the new --load-existing-diff
command.
* Output improvements:
- Use pprint.pformat in the JSON comparator to serialise the differences
from jsondiff to make the output render better.
- Correct tense in --debug log output.
* Code quality:
* Don't use an old-style "super" call.
- Rewrite the filter routine for post-processing output from readelf(1).
- Update my copyright years.
- Remove unncessary PEP 263 encoding lines (replaced via PEP 3120).
- Use "minimal" instead of "basic" as a variable name to match the
underlying package name.
- Add comment regarding Java tests for diffoscope contributors who are not
using Debian. (Re: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!58)
* Debian packaging:
- Update debian/copyright to match copyright notices in source-tree.
(Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#224)
- Ensure the new "diffoscope-minimal" package has a different short
description from the main "diffoscope" one.
[ Jean-Romain Garnier ]
* Add tests for OpenJDK 14.
[ Conrad Ratschan ]
* Add comparator for "legacy" uboot uImage files.
