Major change history for coverage.py
====================================
:history: 20090524T134300, brand new docs.
:history: 20090613T164000, final touches for 3.0
:history: 20090706T205000, changes for 3.0.1
:history: 20091004T170700, changes for 3.1
:history: 20091128T072200, changes for 3.2
These are the major changes for coverage.py. For a more complete change
history, see the `CHANGES.txt`_ file in the source tree.
.. _CHANGES.txt: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/src/tip/CHANGES.txt
Version 3.2
-----------
- Branch coverage: coverage.py can tell you which branches didn't have both (or
all) choices executed, even where the choice doesn't affect which lines were
executed. See :ref:`Branch Coverage <branch>` for more details.
- The table of contents in the HTML report is now sortable: click the headers
on any column. The sorting is persisted so that subsequent reports are
sorted as you wish. Thanks, `Chris Adams`_.
- XML reporting has file paths that let Cobertura find the source code, fixing
`issue 21`_.
- The ``--omit`` option now works much better than before, fixing `issue 14`_
and `issue 33`_. Thanks, Danek Duvall.
- Program execution under coverage is a few percent faster.
- Some exceptions reported by the command line interface have been cleaned up
so that tracebacks inside coverage.py aren't shown. Fixes `issue 23`_.
- Fixed some problems syntax coloring sources with line continuations and
source with tabs: `issue 30`_ and `issue 31`_.

.. _issue 33: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/33
Version 3.1, 4 October 2009
---------------------------
- Python 3.1 is now supported.
- Coverage.py has a new command line syntax with sub-commands. This expands
the possibilities for adding features and options in the future. The old
syntax is still supported. Try ``coverage help`` to see the new commands.
Thanks to Ben Finney for early help.
- Added an experimental ``coverage xml`` command for producing coverage reports
in a Cobertura-compatible XML format. Thanks, Bill Hart.
- Added the ``--timid`` option to enable a simpler slower trace function that
works for DecoratorTools projects, including TurboGears. Fixed `issue 12`_
and `issue 13`_.
- HTML reports now display syntax-colored Python source.
- Added a ``coverage debug`` command for getting diagnostic information about
the coverage.py installation.
- Source code can now be read from eggs. Thanks, `Ross Lawley`_. Fixes
`issue 25`_.
.. _Ross Lawley: http://agileweb.org/
.. _issue 25: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/25
.. _issue 12: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/12
.. _issue 13: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/13
Version 3.0.1, 7 July 2009
--------------------------
- Removed the recursion limit in the tracer function. Previously, code that
ran more than 500 frames deep would crash.
- Fixed a bizarre problem involving pyexpat, whereby lines following XML parser
invocations could be overlooked.
- On Python 2.3, coverage.py could mis-measure code with exceptions being
raised. This is now fixed.
- The coverage.py code itself will now not be measured by coverage.py, and no
coverage modules will be mentioned in the nose ``--with-cover`` plugin.
- When running source files, coverage.py now opens them in universal newline
mode just like Python does. This lets it run Windows files on Mac, for
example.
Version 3.0, 13 June 2009
-------------------------
- Coverage is now a package rather than a module. Functionality has been split
into classes.
- HTML reports and annotation of source files: use the new ``-b`` (browser)
switch. Thanks to George Song for code, inspiration and guidance.
- The trace function is implemented in C for speed. Coverage runs are now
much faster. Thanks to David Christian for productive micro-sprints and
other encouragement.
- The minimum supported Python version is 2.3.
- When using the object api (that is, constructing a coverage() object), data
is no longer saved automatically on process exit. You can re-enable it with
the ``auto_data=True`` parameter on the coverage() constructor.
The module-level interface still uses automatic saving.
- Code in the Python standard library is not measured by default. If you need
to measure standard library code, use the ``-L`` command-line switch during
execution, or the ``cover_pylib=True`` argument to the coverage()
constructor.
- API changes:
- Added parameters to coverage.__init__ for options that had been set on
the coverage object itself.
- Added clear_exclude() and get_exclude_list() methods for programmatic
manipulation of the exclude regexes.
- Added coverage.load() to read previously-saved data from the data file.
- coverage.annotate_file is no longer available.
- Removed the undocumented cache_file argument to coverage.usecache().
