diffoscope - 293 main

diffoscope is a visual diff tool that attempts try to get to the bottom of
what makes files or directories actually different.
.
It can recursively unpack archives of many kinds, transforming various binary
formats into more human-readable form to compare them in a human-readable way.
It can compare two tarballs, ISO images or PDFs just as easily. The
differences can be displayed on the console or in a HTML report.
