+
+
+diffoscope development
+----------------------
+
+- Juliana Oliveira Rodrigues:
+  - Fix comparisons between different container types not comparing inside
+    files. It was caused by falling back to binary comparison for different
+    file types even for unextracted containers.
+  - Add many tests for the fixed behaviour.
+  - Other code quality improvements.
+- Chris Lamb:
+  - Various code quality and style improvements, some of it using Flake8.
+- Mattia Rizzolo:
+  - Add a check to prevent people from installing diffoscope under python < 3.4
+
+
+reprotest development
+---------------------
+
+- Ximin Luo:
+  - Split up the very large ``__init__.py`` and remove obsolete earlier code.
+  - Extend the syntax for the ``--variations`` flag to support parameters to
+    certain variations like ``user_group``, and document examples in README.
+  - Add a ``--vary`` flag for the new syntax and deprecate ``--dont-vary``.
+  - Heavily refactor internals to support > 2 builds.
+  - Support >2 builds using a new ``--extra-build`` flag.
+  - Properly sanitize ``artifact_pattern`` to avoid arbitrary shell execution.
