+reported by:
+
+ - Chris Lamb (4)
+
+
+diffoscope development
+----------------------
+
+[diffoscope](https://diffoscope.org) 67 was uploaded to unstable by Chris Lamb. It included [contributions](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/log/?h=67) from :
+
+ [ 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 the status file descriptor output instead of a custom
+ format.
-* t.r-b.o:
-* jenkins.debian.org pseudopackage (thanks Mattia + Don Armstrong)
-* debian arm64 fully tested all three suites in just 15 days, thanks Codethink.co.uk again!
-* archlinux and fedora tests have been disabled (h01ger)
+ * 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 at 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.
+
+ [ Reiner Herrmann ]
+ * Extend .apk recognition regex to also match zip archives (Closes: #849638)
+
+ [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
+ * Follow the rename of the Debian package "python-jsbeautifier" to
+ "jsbeautifier".
+
+ [ siamezzze ]
+ * Fixed no newline being classified as order-like difference.
+
+reprotest development
+---------------------
+
+[reprotest](https://packages.debian.org/sid/reprotest) 0.5 was uploaded to unstable by Chris Lamb. It included [contributions](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/reprotest.git/log/?h=debian/0.5) from:
+
+ [ Ximin Luo ]
+
+ * Stop advertising variations that we're not actually varying.
+ That is: domain_host, shell, user_group.
+ * Fix auto-presets in the case of a file in the current directory.
+ * Allow disabling build-path variations. (Closes: #833284)
+ * Add a faketime variation, with NO_FAKE_STAT=1 to avoid messing with
+ various buildsystems. This is on by default; if it causes your builds
+ to mess up please do file a bug report.
+ * Add a --store-dir option to save artifacts.
+
