The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
version `39`. This version includes the following changes:

```
[ Reiner Herrmann ]
* Fix EPUB detection.

[ Paul Gevers ]
* Add diffoscope support for PPU files.

[ Jérémy Bobbio ]
* Split lines when they are recorded comments instead of waiting for the
  presenters to do it. This helps when there are multiple lines on stderr
  output.
* Switch homepage URL to HTTPS. Thanks to Let's Encrypt!
* Remove some Python 2 specific code in diffoscope.changes and
  diffoscope.comparators.__init__.
* Make the tlsh module optional. python3-tlsh is now listed in Recommends.
* Make file detection compatible with the pyhon-magic module available on
  PyPI.
* Fix fallback code used when rpm module is unavailable. python3-rpm is now
  listed in Recommends.
* Convert README to reStructuredText and update it.
* Improve setup.py:
  - Fix the non-working PyTest class.
  - Update homepage URL.
  - Improve short description.
  - Add license field.
  - Update install_requires.
* Update Build-Depends and Depends.
* Also run the test suite without Recommends installed in autopkgtest.
* Properly skip tests that requires external tools when they are not
  available.
