diffoscope 251 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
diffoscope (251) unstable; urgency=medium
* If the equivalent of `file -i` returns text/plain, fallback to comparing
this file as a text file. This especially helps when file(1) miscategorises
text files as some esoteric type. (Closes: Debian:#1053668)
* Update copyright years.

- diffoscope: in-depth visual diff tool for files, archives and directories
diffoscope is a visual diff tool that attempts try to get to the bottom of
what makes files or directories actually different.
.
It can recursively unpack archives of many kinds, transforming various binary
formats into more human-readable form to compare them in a human-readable way.
It can compare two tarballs, ISO images or PDFs just as easily. The
differences can be displayed on the console or in a HTML report.
.
This is a dependency package that recommends the full set of external tools,
to support as many type of files as possible.
.
File formats supported include: Android APK files, Android boot images, Android
package resource table (ARSC), Apple Xcode mobile provisioning files, ar(1)
archives, ASM Function, Berkeley DB database files, bzip2 archives,
