The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
version `62`. This version includes the following changes:

```
[ Chris Lamb ]
* progress: Pass the fileobj to the print(..) function, not str.format.
  Thanks to Marius Gedminas <marius@gedmin.as>.
* Move diffoscope.Config to a more-standard and simpler singleton pattern
  and validate constraints on every __setattr__.

[ Maria Glukhova ]
* tests/{dex,java}: Skip the java tests if javap is older than 1.8.
  This fixes test_java and test_dex failing in jessie-backports.  See #838984

[ Michel Messerschmidt ]
* comparators/zip: Add rudimentary support for OpenDocumentFormat files.

[ Mattia Rizzolo ]
* debian: bump debhelper compat level to 10, no changes needed.
* comparators/ppu:
  + don't do run a full ppudump while only looking for PPU file version.
  + ignore decoding errors from ppudump while filtering the output.
* tests/ppu: skip some PPU tests if ppudump is < 3.0.0.  Closes: #838984
* tests: skip test using a format accepted by older pytest.  Closes: #841146

[ Daniel Shahaf ]
* comparators/json: detect order-only differences and print them nicely.
  Closes: #839538
```
