author: Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>

The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of diffoscope
version `141`. This version includes the following changes:

```
[ Chris Lamb ]
* Dalvik .dex files can also serve as APK containers. Restrict the narrower
  identification of .dex files to files ending with this extension, and widen
  the identification of APK files to when file(1) discovers a Dalvik file.
  (Closes: #884095, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#28)
* Explicitly list python3-h5py in debian/tests/control.in to ensure that we
  have this module installed during an autopkgtest run to generate the test
  fixture & regenerate debian/tests/control from debian/tests/control.in
  to match.
* Drop unnecessary and unused assignment to "diff" variable.
* Strip paths from the output of zipinfo(1) warnings.
  (re. reproducible-builds/diffoscope#97)

[ Michael Osipov ]
* Revert to using zipinfo(1) directly instead of piping input via /dev/stdin
  for BSD portability. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#97)

[ Jelle van der Waa ]
* Add an external tool for h5dump on Arch.
```
