The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
version 180
. This version includes the following changes:
* Don't include specific ".debug"-like lines in the output, as it invariably
a duplicate of the debug ID that exists in a better form in the readelf(1)
differences for this file.
* Also ignore include short "GCC" lines that differs on a single prefix byte
too. These are distracting, not very useful and are simply the strings(1)
command's idea of the build ID, which, again, is displayed nearby in the
file's diff.
* Update the invocation arguments and tests for the latest version of
odt2txt.
