  * Use "xz --list" to supplement the output when comparing .xz archives;
    essential when some underlying metadata differs. (Closes: #1069329)
  * Actually append the xz --list after the container differences, as it
    simplifies tests and the output.
  * Add 7zip to <!nocheck> Build-Depends in debian/control.
  * Update copyright years.

  [ James Addison ]
  * Maintain an in-header boolean state to determine whether to drop
    from-file/to-file lines. This fixes an issue where HTML differences were
    being inadvertendly neglected. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#372)

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Add support for the zipdetails(1) tool included in the Perl distribution.
    Thanks to Larry Doolittle et al. for the pointer to this tool.
  * Don't use parenthesis within test "skipping…" messages; PyTest adds its own
    parenthesis, so we were ending up with double nested parens.
  * Fix the .epub tests after supporting zipdetails(1).
  * Update copyright years and debian/tests/control.

  [ FC (Fay) Stegerman ]
  * Fix MozillaZipContainer's monkeypatch after Python's zipfile module changed

  * Also skip some zip tests under 3.10.14 as well; a potential regression may
    have been backported to the 3.10.x series. The underlying cause is still to
    be investigated. (Re: #362)

  * Actually test 7z support in the test_7z set of tests, not the lz4
    functionality. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#359)
  * In addition, correctly check for the 7z binary being available
    (and not lz4) when testing 7z.
  * Prevent a traceback when comparing a contentful .pyc file with an
    empty one. (Re: Debian:#1064973)

  * Use a determistic name when extracting content from GPG artifacts instead
    of trusting the value of gpg's --use-embedded-filenames. This prevents a
    potential information disclosure vulnerability that could have been
    exploited by providing a specially-crafted GPG file with an embedded
    filename of, say, "../../.ssh/id_rsa". Many thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor
    <email address hidden> for reporting this issue and providing feedback.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#361)
