I've written difftastic packaging instructions: https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/packaging_difftastic.html

Feedback welcome, especially if you've ever packaged something 🙂
I've released difftastic 0.51! In this release:
* Prebuilt binaries for ARM64 macOS (i.e. M1 and M2 macs), ARM64 Linux, and Linux on musl (for older distros)!
* JSON output: an unstable feature allowing machine consumption of output!
* Bash, Python and Rust parser improvements
I've released difftastic 0.40! In this release:
