It's a small thing, but I'm much happier with --version in the latest version of difftastic.
It shows the release number and the commit date. This gives you a reproducible build with age info.
It also shows OS, arch and compiler, because those are useful in bug reports.

It shows the release version number, the commit hash, and the commit date. This gives you a sense of the age of release, but you still have a reproducible build (unlike build time).

I've been really enjoying paru as a pacman substitute on Arch Linux: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru
It allows you to update both normal and AUR packages in one go, which is super convenient. It also shows you PKGBUILD files, so there's still a human audit step for AUR.
