  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * test_icc: Calculate the path to a test .icc file using data() rather than
    using the pytest fixture itself to avoid a "Fixtures are not meant to be
    called directly" warning/error. (Closes: #916226)
  * Fix a test_mozzip_compressed_files test failure under Alpine Linux.
    (Closes: #916353, MR: !8)
  * Output improvements:
    * Prefer to comment that files are identical rather than having a
      "fuzziness score" of zero.
    * Expand the padding/spacing for "N calls" in the profiling output; having
      99,999+ calls to cmp(1) is not uncommon for ISOs.
    * Add a note to the "Files similar despite different names" comment to
      clarify that a lower score is more similar.
  * Use File.file_header to tidy JSON matching in the json, ppu and wasm
    comparators.
  * Drop debbindiff Breaks/Replaces; was removed in 2015, never part of a
    stable release, etc.
  * Correct a "positives" typo.

  [ Joachim Breitner ]
  * Add support for comparing WebAssembly modules. (MR: !17)

  [ Holger Levsen ]
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.3.0
  * Clarify that (upstream) issues should be reported via the
    issue tracker on salsa.debian.org.

      installed packages. (Closes: #908072)
    - Clarify distinction between tools (eg. gpg) and packages (eg. gnupg) when
      generating Debian substvars.
    - Revert updating generated debian/tests/control made in diffoscope 100.
  * Disable binwalk's own user configuration for predictable results and to
    ensure it does not create unnecessary directories. (Closes: #903444)
  * Ensure we return "bytes" objects from Command.filter to avoid a
    "TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing" traceback.
  * Don't print GPG output in diffoscope.changes.

  [ Xavier Briand ]
  * Add lz4 comparator.  Closes: #901548; !4

  [ Paul Wise ]
  * Clear the progress bar after completion.  Closes: #901758
    Handle terminals that do not support erasing the line by filling the
    terminal with spaces.  Ignore output devices that are not terminals.
  * Do not delete the current terminal line for every progress bar update.
    The erasure was also causing the progress bar to flicker.

  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Add a gitlab CI script.  !8
  * tempfiles:
    + Set the base directory only if the caller didn't specify one already.
    + Do not append '_diffoscope' to the temporary file names, as they are now
      all in their namespaced directory already.
    + Empty the list of known tempfiles after removing them.  Closes: #902709
  * external_tools:
    + Fix package name, s/xmlutils/xmlbeans/.
  * tests/test_tools: fix test if /sbin contains a directory.  MR: !2
    Thanks to Chris Lamb <email address hidden> for the patch.
  * logging:
    + Move the computation of the terminal line eraser into logging.py
    + Always clean the line before printing a log message
  * main:
    + Clean the terminal line before printing a traceback.
    + Be sure to print 'Keyboard Interrupt' if that happens.
  * comparators:
    + Do not shadow the original import errors.  MR: !7
  * d/control:
    + Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.5, no changes needed.
    + Add Build-Dependency on procyon-decompiler, to run the tests.
  * d/tests:
    + Autogenerate d/tests/control with all the recommends listed as
      dependencies, so autopkgtest is appropriately triggered whenever one of
      those packages changes.  Closes: #902920

  [ anthraxx ]

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Drop dependency on pdftk as it relies on GCJ, relying on the pdftotext
    fallback. (Closes: #893702)
  * Change the "No file format specific differences found inside, yet data
    differs" message to be clearer that diffoscope "knows" about this file
    format yet could not be helpful in this case.
  * Don't append a rather useless "(data)" suffix from file(1).
  * Comply with a number of PEP8 recommendations:
    - E226 - Add missing whitespaces around operators.
    - E241 - Fix extraneous whitespaces around keywords.
    - E251 - Remove whitespace around parameter '=' signs.
    - E302 - Add missing 2 blank lines.
    - E501 - Try to make lines fit to length.
    - E502 - Remove extraneous escape of newline.
    - E731 - Don't assign lambda expressions.
    - E121, E122, E126, E128 - Fix badly indented lines.

  * comparators/haskell: Properly extract version from interface files.
    What the code did before was just totally wrong, and worked only by
    chance (and only on little endian systems), see below for an explenation.
    This also fixes the test suite when run on big endian systems.

  * Optimisations:
    - Avoid multiple iterations over archive by unpacking once for an ~8X
      runtime optimisation.
    - Avoid unnecessary splitting and interpolating for a ~20X optimisation
      when writing --text output.
    - Avoid expensive diff regex parsing until we need it, speeding up diff
      parsing by 2X.
    - Alias expensive Config() in diff parsing lookup for a 10% optimisation.

  * Progress bar:
    - Show filenames, ELF sections, etc. in progress bar.
    - Emit JSON on the the status file descriptor output instead of a custom
      format.

  * Logging:
    - Use more-Pythonic logging functions and output based on __name__, etc.
    - Use Debian-style "I:", "D:" log level format modifier.
    - Only print milliseconds in output, not microseconds.
    - Print version in debug output so that saved debug outputs can standalone
      as bug reports.

  * Profiling:
    - Also report the total number of method calls, not just the total time.
    - Report on the total wall clock taken to execute diffoscope, including
      cleanup.

  * Tidying:
    - Rename "NonExisting" -> "Missing".

      concerns into a different utility package, tidying imports, etc.
    - Split diffoscope.difference into diffoscope.diff, etc.
    - Update file references in debian/copyright post module reorganisation.
    - Many other cleanups, etc.

    - Print "no package mapping" in --list-tools to stderr, not stdout.
    - Remove unused ``reduce`` import.
    - Reflow long PROVIDERS lookup.
  * Add .travis.yml from http://travis.debian.net/
  * Don't skip squashfs test_listing test; we can workaround it, as long as we
    have a uid 1000.
  * Drop "Testsuite: autopkgtest" in debian/control; it is added automatically
    by dpkg-source version 1.17.11.

  [Mattia Rizzolo]
  * autopkgtest: be more verbose when running the tests
  * debian/control:
    - Mark build-dependency needed only for tests with a <build profile
      (reverted as they break dh-python)
    - add more build-dependencies to be able to run more tests at build time
    - default-jdk-headless is enough to have javap, instead of all of
      default-jdk
  * debian/rules:
    - be more verbose when running the tests, in particular, show why tests are
      being skipped
    - teach pybuild where to put diffoscope's files
  * do not try to execute the command if the command is not available

  [Ximin Luo]
  * Add support for reading LLVM bitcode files
    - Ignore line numbers because different llvm-dis versions output extra
      metadata
    - Disable the llvm-dis test if the version is lower than 3.8
  * Add support for reading Rust LLVM object files
  * Add test for rlib files, helping also to test ArFile, LlvmBitCodeFile and
    RustObjectFile
  * Fix failing directory test
  * Add support for reading the symbol table to ArFile
  * Fix typo in tool_older_than
    - Remove debugging print from tool_older_than

  [anthraxx]
  * skip rlib test if llvm-dis tool is missing

  * Don't crash when we can't find the debug file in a matching debug package.
    This repairs diffoscope for xserver-xorg and other packages.
  * Use libarchive to read metadata from ar archives. The output is more
    precise and less dependent on binutils version. The command line `ar` tool
    is not used any more so remove it from the required tools.
  * Split readelf --debug-dump output when examining ELF files. Based on a
    patch by Dhole.
  * Keep both .debug_str and .zdebug_str as ElfSection. Thanks to Niels Thykier
    for noticing the problem.
  * Fix a logic error in _install_debug_symbols. Thanks anthraxx for the report
    and the fix.
  * Use recursive containers for directory and only look at files with ending
    in .deb when looking for Build IDs. Both avoid looking at too many files
    when searching for matching debug packages. Thanks Helmut Grohne and Steven
    Chamberlain for the reports and tests. (Closes: #813052)
  * Add support for ICC profiles. This adds a Recommends on colord in Debian.
  * Harmonize spaces and commas in package list.
  * Update PPU files test data for FPC 3.0.0.
  * Update exepcted javap output for OpenJDK 1.8.
  * Stop specializing files from directories earlier than necessary.
