As github.com/pmezard/go-difflib is no longer maintained (EOLed), kindly find an alternative.

Indeed, can this be prioritized?

@MaxCaresYww What replacement do you suggest?

@dolmen
Can we replace with https://github.com/martinohmann/go-difflib ?

Any replacement suggestion must at least say why this would be a good candidate.

https://github.com/stretchr/testify/issues/1479 mentioned using go-diff which has seen adoption in popular libraries like go-git.

However, go-diff seems not very well maintained itself in recent years and the introduction of bugs has had some people sticking with v.1.1.0 until only very recently.
