  [ Rainer Müller ]
  * Fix typo in Mach-O comparator.

  [ Jérémy Bobbio ]
  * Ensure that we always get path names from libarchive as str.
    (Closes: #808541)
  * Read ext4 reference diff using UTF-8 to ensure that the test suite
    works when run under various locales.
  * Replace file path by a fixed placeholder in readelf and objdump output.
    This will work better when comparing ELF files given on the command line.
  * Read lines using an iterator instead of loading a full list in memory.
    This greatly help diffoscope when running on large binaries. Thanks Mike
    Hommey for the report and good test case. (Closes: #808120)
  * Properly report lines we can't parse in squashfs listing.
  * Correctly parse squashfs device entries with device minors larger than 3
    digits. Thanks sajolida for providing the samples.
  * Use libarchive to list files in tar and cpio archives. The output of cpio
    and tar is too hard to control properly and tend to vary over time.
    (Closes: #808809)
  * Ensure files extracted from a squashfs image are deleted after being
    compared instead being done examining the image.

  [ Mike Hommey ]
  * Tell readelf to use wide output. (Closes: #808103)
  * Add support for Mozilla optimized Zip files. (Closes: #808002)
  * Use <ins/> and <del/> in HTML output.
  * Fix line numbering in HTML diff output (Closes: #808199)

  [ Jérémy Bobbio ]
  * Fix .deb comparisons when md5sums is wrong or missing. (Closes: #808104)
  * Remove some quadratic string concatenations in HTML presenter.
  * Remove useless <span>s in HTML output. (Closes: #808121)
  * Replace calling find by using os.walk in directory comparator.
  * Sort the file list in directory comparator. (Closes: #808003)
  * Ensure the 'lines skipped' message gets written when lines are skipped
    at the end of a diff.
  * Make sure to read HTML reports as utf-8 in tests.

  [ Esa Peuha ]
  * Convert HTML character entity references to UTF-8 characters to save space.

Superseded in xenial-proposed 
diffoscope (43) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Reiner Herrmann ]
  * Add comparator for Android dex files.
  * Add comparator for filesystem images using libguestfs.

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Add comparator for icons and JPEG images using libcaca.

  [ Clemens Lang ]
  * Add comparator for OS X binary files (also known as Mach-O). Requires the
    otool(1) and lipo(1) which are mostly likely found on OS X.

  [ Baptiste Daroussin ]
  * Use libarchive for tar instead of Python included library. We already
    have libarchive as a mandatory dependency, and libarchive is faster
    and more reliable.

  [ Mike McQuaid ]
  * Support older versions of GNU diff. OS X 10.11 ships with an older GPLv2
    version (`2.8.1`) which does not support the `diff -u7` flag but instead
    wants to use `diff -U7` which appears to be forward compatible.

  [ Ed Maste ]
  * Use more portable LC_CTYPE suggestion. The C.UTF-8 locale is a Debian
    thing.

  [ Levente Polyak ]
  * Force ppudump to output time in UTC using the TZ variable. Support for the
    TZ environment variable has been implemented in fpc r32369.
  * Make PPU comparator version aware by checking the magic version expected by
    ppudump itself.

  [ Joachim Breitner ]
  * Add support for multi-file HTML output with on-demand loading of long
    diffs. This is available through the --html-dir option. Location of the
    jQuery JavaScript library can be specified through the --jquery option.
    (Closes: #806891)

  [ Jérémy Bobbio ]
  * Return the target path as string when extracting from a Zip. Regression
    introduced in diffoscope 41. (Closes: #805774)
  * Use pass_fds from Popen instead of reimplementing it. Thanks Baptiste
    Daroussin for the tip.
  * Fix typo in debug message. Thanks Clemens Lang!
  * Benefit from dictionary keys() behaving as set when comparing md5sums.
  * Prevent overwriting the destination when extracting with libarchive.
    Thanks Baptiste Daroussin noticing and initial implementation.
  * Fix PPU detection and associated tests.
  * Use lazy extraction instead of explicit bracketing. We now rely on
    Python garbage collector to delete file once we are done comparing.
    This will make parallel processing easier to implement.
  * Make container class available on demand instead of bracketing.
    This cleanups boilerplate code, and should make parallel processing
    easier to implement.
  * Always compare container content if applicable. This removes more
    boilerplate code.
  * Call xxd like other commands.
  * Analyze md5sums file in .deb before working on data.tar. This makes
    the code more robust and is required to properly skip files listed as
    identical in md5sums while doing parallel processing.
  * Add support for package names for OS other than Debian. The --list-tools
    command-line option now supports an optional argument to display a given
    operating system. When --list-tools is called without
    an optional argument and the current operating system is unknown,
    the list of packages for all known operating systems will be displayed.
    Initial implementation by Mattia Rizzolo, then greatly enhanced by
    Levente Polyak.
  * Update list of contributors.
  * Add contact info to README.
  * Add python3-guestfs to the list of Recommends.
  * Display a better error message when guestfs can't be started.
  * Set libguestfs memory allocation to 128 MiB in autopkgtest as more is
    likely to fail with adt-virt-qemu default settings.
  * Prevent CBFS comparator from scanning big files needlessly. Thanks Mike
    Hommey for the detailed bug report and suggestions. (Closes: #807997)
