+ - Chris Lamb (7)
+ - Rob Browning (1)
+
+
+diffoscope development
+----------------------
+
+
+- Chris Lamb:
+  - Optimisations:
+    - Avoid unnecessary string manipulation writing --text output (~20x speedup).
+    - Avoid *n* iterations over archive files (~8x speedup).
+    - Memoize calls to `distutils.spawn.find_executable` to avoid excessive `stat(1)` syscalls.
+  - Progress bar:
+    - Show current file / ELF section under analysis etc. in progress bar.
+    - Move the ``--status-fd`` output to use JSON and to include the current filename.
+  - Code tidying:
+    - Split out the [try.diffoscope.org](https://try.diffoscope.org) client so that it can be [released separately on PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/trydiffoscope).
+    - Completely rework the `diffoscope` and `diffoscope.comparators` modules, grouping similar utilities into their own modules, etc.
+  - Miscellaneous:
+    - Ensure that running from Git will always use that checkout's Python modules.
+- Mattia Rizzolo:
+  - [Follow the rename of the debian package 'python-jsbeautifier' to 'jsbeautifier'](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=cdeef66)
+- Reiner Herrmann:
+  - [apk: Extend recognition regex to also match zip archives](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=2b4a5c4)
+- siamezzze:
+  - [Fixed no newline being classified as order-like difference.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=ac63991)
+
+
+strip-nondeterminism development
+--------------------------------
+
+- strip-nondeterminism 0.029-2 was uploaded to unstable by Mattia Rizzolo to include a [fix by Chris Lamb to fix the autopkgtest tests](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism.git/commit/?h=debian/0.029-2&id=81d06905acb35b7a8681ff2e9bf29087cae5414e).
+
+try.diffoscope.org development
+------------------------------
+
+- Chris Lamb:
+  - Show progress bar and position in queue, etc.
+  - Promote command-line client with PyPI instructions.
+  - Increase comparison time limit to 90 seconds.
+
+tests.reproducible-builds.org
+-----------------------
+
+- Run half of the `arm64` build nodes in the future
+- Resume `testing` scheduling now [[!bug 846564]] and [[!bug 844701]] bugs in `dpkg` are fixed in that suite. (h01ger)
