title: diffoscope 108 released
author: Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
version `108`. This version includes the following changes:

```
[ Chris Lamb ]
* test_icc: Calculate the path to a test .icc file using data() rather than
  using the pytest fixture itself to avoid a "Fixtures are not meant to be
  called directly" warning/error. (Closes: #916226)
* Fix a test_mozzip_compressed_files test failure under Alpine Linux.
  (Closes: #916353, MR: !8)
* Output improvements:
  * Prefer to comment that files are identical rather than having a
    "fuzziness score" of zero.
  * Expand the padding/spacing for "N calls" in the profiling output; having
    99,999+ calls to cmp(1) is not uncommon for ISOs.
  * Add a note to the "Files similar despite different names" comment to
    clarify that a lower score is more similar.
* Use File.file_header to tidy JSON matching in the json, ppu and wasm
  comparators.
* Drop debbindiff Breaks/Replaces; was removed in 2015, never part of a
  stable release, etc.
* Correct a "positives" typo.

[ Joachim Breitner ]
* Add support for comparing WebAssembly modules. (MR: !17)

[ Holger Levsen ]
* Bump Standards-Version to 4.3.0
* Clarify that (upstream) issues should be reported via the
  issue tracker on salsa.debian.org.

[ Mattia Rizzolo ]
* Try matching for MozillaZipFile before ZipFile.
```
