diffoscope (77) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * tests/comparators/utils:
    + Correct logic of module_exists, ensuring we correctly skip in case of
      modules containing a dot in their name.  Closes: #854745
  * comparators/utils/libarchive:
    + No need to track archive directory locations.
  * Add --exclude option.  Closes: #854783
  * Add PyPI badge to README.rst.
  * Update .travis.yml from http://travis.debian.net.

  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Add CVE reference to the changelog of v76.

diffoscope (76) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Extract archive members using an auto-incrementing integer, avoiding the
    need to sanitise filenames and avoiding writes to arbitrary locations.
    (Closes: #854723 - CVE-2017-0359)

  [ Ximin Luo ]
  * Simplify call to subprocess.Popen

 -- Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>  Fri, 10 Feb 2017 11:37:52 +1300

diffoscope (75) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Fix ImportError in Debian comparator tests. This was caused by not
    handling the case where ``importlib.find_spec`` was testing for a submodule
    (ie. ``debian.Deb822``) where it will attempt to import the ``debian``
    module and raise an exception if it does not exist. Thanks to Iain Lane for
    initial patches. (Closes: #854670)

  [ Ximin Luo ]
  * Remove pointless use of a thread

 -- Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>  Fri, 10 Feb 2017 09:28:47 +1300

diffoscope (74) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add missing Recommends for comparators. This was a regression introduced in
    version 71 due to lazily-importing them; they were then not available when
    we called "--list-tools=debian" during package build. (Closes: #854655)

 -- Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>  Thu, 09 Feb 2017 16:58:28 +1300

  [ James Clarke ]
  * comparators:
    + haskell: Properly extract version from interface files.
      What the code did before was just totally wrong, and worked only by
      chance (and only on little endian systems).
      This also fixes the test suite when run on big endian systems.

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * comparators:

diffoscope (69) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Skip tests if binutils can't handle the object file format. Based on a
    patch by Mattia Rizzolo. (Closes: #851588)
  * Move external tool definitions out of misleading "exceptions" module.
  * Save some complicated logic by setting default RE_FILE_{EXTENSION,TYPE}
  * Test --html-dir option.
  * Misc:
    * Add missing `data` imports.
    - Inherit GzipFile from File, not object.
    - Remove unused imports in comparator tests.
    - Consistently space out environment exports in debian/rules.

  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * If both RE_FILE_TYPE and RE_FILE_EXTENSION are defined, AND them
  * Use the path attribute of the specialized file instead of the original name
    in tests.
  * tests/main:
    * Shorten argument lists by unpacking common arguments.
    * Disable jQuery while testing --htmldir so tests can run without it.

    (Closes: #850807)
  * Fix .APK extration when provided with absolute filenames.
    (Closes: #850485)
  * Support comparing .ico files using img2txt. (Closes: #850730)

    apktool), don't blow up when attempting to unpack it.
  * Include magic file type when we know the file format but can't find
    file-specific details. (Closes: #850850)
  * Ensure fake "APK metadata" file appears first, fixing non-deterministic
    tests/output.
  * Correctly escape value of href="" elements (re. #849411)

  * Optimisations:
    - Disable profiling entirely (unless enabled) for a 2%+ optimisation
    - Compile APK filename regex instead of generating it each loop.

  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Skip the openssh_pub_key test if the version of ssh is < 6.9.
  * comparators/icc: rename RE_FILE_EXTENSION to RE_FILE_TYPE, as that's what
    the regular expression is looking for.
  * Make use of a new mechanism to remove a bunch of recognizes() methods
    dealing with simple RE_FILE_TYPE matching.

  [ Chris Lamb ]

  * Optimisations:
    - Avoid multiple iterations over archive by unpacking once for an ~8X
      runtime optimisation.
    - Avoid unnecessary splitting and interpolating for a ~20X optimisation
      when writing --text output.
    - Avoid expensive diff regex parsing until we need it, speeding up diff
      parsing by 2X.
    - Alias expensive Config() in diff parsing lookup for a 10% optimisation.

  * Progress bar:
    - Show filenames, ELF sections, etc. in progress bar.
    - Emit JSON on the status file descriptor output instead of a custom
      format.

  * Logging:
    - Use more-Pythonic logging functions and output based on __name__, etc.
    - Use Debian-style "I:", "D:" log level format modifier.
    - Only print milliseconds in output, not microseconds.
    - Print version in debug output so that saved debug outputs can standalone
      as bug reports.

  * Profiling:
    - Also report the total number of method calls, not just the total time.
    - Report on the total wall clock taken to execute diffoscope, including
      cleanup.

  * Tidying:
    - Rename "NonExisting" -> "Missing".
    - Entirely rework diffoscope.comparators module, splitting as many separate
      concerns into a different utility package, tidying imports, etc.
    - Split diffoscope.difference into diffoscope.diff, etc.
    - Update file references in debian/copyright post module reorganisation.
    - Many other cleanups, etc.

  * Misc:
    - Clarify comment regarding why we call python3(1) directly. Thanks to
      Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
    - Raise a clearer error if trying to use --html-dir on a file.
    - Fix --output-empty when files are identical and no outputs specified.
    - Wrap changelog line to avoid Lintian warning.

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Avoid unpacking packages twice when comparing .changes. (Closes: #843531)
  * Add a simple profiling framework (enabled via --profile) which tracks:
    - Container extraction, opening and closing times.
    - The "compare_files" top-level/recursive method.
    - The time taken to produce the various output formats.
    - All "has_same_content_as" and "recognizes" methods.
    - External commands that wrap "@tool_required".
    - External commands that use "make_feeder_from_command".
    - The internal/external "cmp" methods.
    - Some manual calls to subprocess.check_output().

    * Clarify the meaning of the compare_files and Binary.has_same_content
      debug messages.
    * Skip low-value "X is already specialized" message.
    * Correct "instantiating" typo.

  * Avoid shelling out to colordiff by implementing highlighting in Python
    directly.
  * Split out trydiffoscope client and binary package from main diffoscope
    repository so that it can be more-easily released on PyPI.
  * Memoize calls to ``distutils.spawn.find_executable`` to avoid excessive
    stat(1) syscalls.
  * Remove temporary profiling file introduced in 97bddd18a.
  * comparators.directory:
    - Correct `source` attribute of lsattr-based Difference instances.
    - Add comment regarding why difficult to optimise calls to lsattr
  * Internally guarantee to all progress observers that we will be processing
    something.
  * bin/diffoscope:
    - Ensure that running from Git always uses that checkout's modules.
    - Use os.path.join "properly" as we are already using it.
    - Use typical sys.path.insert(0, ...) method to modify sys.path.
    - Use immutable tuple over mutable list for clarity.
  * comparators.debian: No need to keep .buildinfo file descriptor open.
  * Suggest command-line for signing of PyPI uploads.
  * Improve documentation of new tests/conftest.py file.

  [ Maria Glukhova ]
  * Remove test data causing problems during build with Python 3.4.
  * Change icc-recognizing regexp to reflect changes in file type description.

  * Add myself to Uploaders.
  * Greatly improve speed for large archives by fixing O(n^2) complexity for
    archive member lookup.
    - There is still O(n^2) complexity for archive member extraction, but this
      is less noticeable for various reasons and would require more complexity
      to fix, so for now is left as a task for the future.
  * Text output: add coloured diff support via colordiff(1).
  * Html-dir output: add +/- buttons to fold sub-diffs (i.e. toggle their
    visibility) as well as the whole diff itself. As with similar features in
    other programs, the effect affects all descendants if you shift-click.

    + binary: Suppress decimal line numbers for xxd output.
  * Increase default --max-diff-input-lines to 2^20 (1048576) from 100000.

  * SquashFS test_testing:
    - Don't assume that user and group are 5 characters long in squashfs
      test_listing.
    - Drop test; simply too unreliable and/or has too many requirements to
      satisfy (eg. shorter usernames) for it to not be skipped.
  * Difference class:
    - Ensure that we pass str instances to our Difference class as paths,
      otherwise we can't be sure we can render them. For example, passing a
      class here breaks the HTML renderer.
    - Add test for type checking of path1/path2/source.
    - Pass a str for the path in the JSON comparator, fixing the HTML reporting
      of JSON output.
  * When looping over JQUERY_SYSTEM_LOCATIONS, actually use the variable we are
    looping with when performing the symlink(2) call.
  * trydiffoscope:
    - Add manpage for trydiffoscope.
    - Write trydiffoscope console output as UTF-8, even if STDOUT claims it
      doesn't support it.
  * debian/rules:
    - Make separate calls to dh_python3 for diffoscope and trydiffoscope to
      avoid both getting the same Recommends substvar.
    - Use a pattern-based rule for rst2man-based manpages instead of
      hard-coding "diffoscope.1".
    - Dynamically calculate manpages to generate over hardcoding.
  * .gitignore: Ignore all generated manpages, not just diffoscope.1.

    - Tidy OS_NAMES dict.
    - Correct indentation levels in various files.
    - Drop unused imports.
    - platform.get_linux_distribution() will break in Python 3.7.
    - Don't name first argument of Difference.from_command "cls" as it's not a
      classmethod.
    - comparators/directory.py: Call logger.warning over logger.warn.
    - Rename diffoscope.__main__ to diffoscope.main as its not a "real" magic
      name.
    - Raise NotImplementedError() instances over NotImplemented classes.
    - Add short option for trydiffoscope --url.
    - Rewrite trydiffoscope to match diffoscope's command-line API.
    - Use keepalive in trydiffoscope client to avoid new HTTP requests.
    - Highlight lines via HTML/CSS when hovering over a line to make it easier

    - Rename debian/install -> debian/diffoscope.install now we have multiple
      binary packages.
  * Add a JSON comparator.
    - Add tests for JSON comparator.
    - Move parsing to JSONFile.recognizes
    - Ensure decode errors in JSON comparator are not fatal.
  * Ignore /.*eggs and /.cache - they get created when running tests.
  * Reflow long dh_python3 call in debian/rules.
  * Use dict.get fallback to shorten OS_NAMES lookup in --list-tools.
  * --list-tools:
    - Output --list-tools in RFC822 format to make parsing less brittle.
    - Print "no package mapping" in --list-tools to stderr, not stdout.
    - Remove unused ``reduce`` import.
    - Reflow long PROVIDERS lookup.
  * Add .travis.yml from http://travis.debian.net/
  * Don't skip squashfs test_listing test; we can workaround it, as long as we
    have a uid 1000.
  * Drop "Testsuite: autopkgtest" in debian/control; it is added automatically
    by dpkg-source version 1.17.11.

  [Mattia Rizzolo]
  * autopkgtest: be more verbose when running the tests
  * debian/control:
    - Mark build-dependency needed only for tests with a <!nocheck> build
      profile (reverted as they break dh-python)
    - add more build-dependencies to be able to run more tests at build time
    - default-jdk-headless is enough to have javap, instead of all of
      default-jdk
  * debian/rules:
    - be more verbose when running the tests, in particular, show why tests are
      being skipped
    - teach pybuild where to put diffoscope's files

  * Analyze md5sums file in .deb before working on data.tar. This makes
    the code more robust and is required to properly skip files listed as
    identical in md5sums while doing parallel processing.
  * Add support for package names for OS other than Debian. The --list-tools
    command-line option now supports an optional argument to display a given
    operating system. When --list-tools is called without

  * Switch to Python 3. This means code has been changed slightly
    here and there. Issues related to text encoding should now be
    far less frequent. According to some preliminary benchmark,
    diffoscope should run faster as well.
  * The system tar is now used instead of the Python module to display Tar
    archive metadata. The output should be slightly more accurate.
  * Log exceptions raised while computing diffs as errors
  * Avoid concatenating many strings in hexdump_fallback. This matters when
    looking at big binary files with xxd unavailable.
  * Let's ignore command errors when the file content is identical.
  * Fix isoinfo arguments to read Joliet data on ISO9660 images.
  * Ignore errors when reading Joliet and Rockridge data in ISO9660 images.
  * Use threads instead of processes for multiprocessing when running diff.
    There is no measurable performance impact and it helps to simplify the
    code.
  * Use the right argument order when creating CalledProcessError.
  * Propagate failure of external commands feeding diff.
  * Improve debugging log for command lines and exit codes.
  * Remove she-bang from files not meant to be executed directly.
  * Add more tests for main() behavior.
  * Improve RPM header conversion.
  * Fix a refactoring error in compare_commented_files().
