The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
version `40`. This version includes the following changes:

```
* Add missing files in PyPI package.
* Use libarchive instead of debian.arfile to extract .deb.

  distributions.
* Add 'Programming Language' to PyPI classifiers.
