+--------------
+
+During our reproducibility testing, FTBFS bugs have been detected and reported by:
+
+ - Adrian Bunk (27)
+
+
+diffoscope development
+----------------------
+
+- Chris Lamb:
+    - [Don't crash on malformed md5sums files.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=70cb725) (Closes: #[[!bug 877473]])
+    - [Improve names in output of "internal" binwalk members.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=07c0562) (Closes: #[[!bug 877525]])
+
+- Mattia Rizzolo:
+    - [Fix test compatibility with dtb version 1.4.5](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=8f98304)
+
+
+strip-nondeterminism development
+--------------------------------
+
+[Rob Browning noticed that strip-nondeterminism was causing serious performance regressions](http://bugs.debian.org/877418) in the [Clojure] programming language within Debian. After some discussion, Chris Lamb also [posted a query to debian-devel](https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/10/msg00073.html) in case there were any other programming languages that might be suffering from the same problem.
+
+- Chris Lamb:
+    - [jar.pm: Clojure considers the .class file to be stale if it shares the same timestamp of the .clj. We thus adjust the timestamps of the .clj to always be younger.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism.git/commit/?id=7691e29). (Closes: #[[!bug 877418])
+    - [jar.pm, zip.pm: Allow $options{member\_normalizer} callback to support specifying the timestamp.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism.git/commit/?id=dec8623)
+    - [zip.pm: Ensure that we don't try and write an old timestamp; Archive::Zip will do this anyway, just noisily.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism.git/commit/?id=3f92d1b)
+    - [zip.pm: Calculate the target canonical time in just one place.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism.git/commit/?id=99af63b)
+    - [bin/strip-nondeterminism: Print a warning in --verbose mode if no canonical time specified.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism.git/commit/?id=0a60b30)
+    - [jar.pm: Update comment to reflect that NTFS/FAT has a 2s timestamp granularity.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism.git/commit/?id=e03d382)
+    - [jar.pm: s/NTFS/FAT/. Thanks to James Ross.](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism.git/commit/?id=e2d3237)
