Bug#849638: diffoscope 66 does binary diff on APK files

Thu Dec 29 11:41:16 UTC 2016

Package: diffoscope
Version: 66
Severity: important

When running diffoscope on two APKs using version 66, it now just does a
straight binary comparison of the direct file itself.  Running
diffoscope 64 generated a nice output of the individual files in the ZIP
(an APK is a signed JAR with some other special features). Attached is
the output from v66.  You can find v64 output here:

http://37.218.242.117/

You can download these two APKs to test with from here:
