--- layout: post title: diffoscope 47 released author: Jérémy Bobbio --- The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope version `47`. This version includes the following changes: ``` * Don't show a difference for identical but long diff inputs (e.g. objdump output). This should make diffoscope run longer for large diff inputs, but more correct reports worths it. * Fix symbol ignore regexp for ELF files. * Ask readelf to decompress sections before dumping their content. * Don't redefine .name() in Archive when its already defined in File. * All files can now belong to a container. This will help us implement cross-file analysis. * Update requirements for ELF tests. * Sort file order when comparing directories. * Use Python OrderedDict instead of keeping a list of sections in ELF container. * Install detached symbols from debug .deb before comparing ELF files. This means objdump output should have line numbers for Debian packages built with recent debhelper as long as the associated debug package is in the same directory. * Add support for Debian .buildinfo files. ``` You find out more by [visiting the project homepage](https://diffoscope.org).
