3.0b2

Version 3.0b2 — 2009-04-30

HTML reporting, and continued refactoring.

• HTML reports and annotation of source files: use the new -b (browser) switch. Thanks to George Song for code, inspiration and guidance.
• 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.
• Source annotation into a directory (-a -d) behaves differently. The annotated files are named with their hierarchy flattened so that same-named files from different directories no longer collide. Also, only files in the current tree are included.
• coverage.annotate_file is no longer available.
• Programs executed with -x now behave more as they should, for example, __file__ has the correct value.
• .coverage data files have a new pickle-based format designed for better extensibility.
• Removed the undocumented cache_file argument to coverage.usecache().

3.0b1

Version 3.0b1 — 2009-03-07

Major overhaul.

• Coverage.py is now a package rather than a module. Functionality has been split into classes.
• The trace function is implemented in C for speed. Coverage.py runs are now much faster. Thanks to David Christian for productive micro-sprints and other encouragement.
• Executable lines are identified by reading the line number tables in the compiled code, removing a great deal of complicated analysis code.
• Precisely which lines are considered executable has changed in some cases. Therefore, your coverage stats may also change slightly.
• The singleton coverage object is only created if the module-level functions are used. This maintains the old interface while allowing better programmatic use of coverage.py.
• The minimum supported Python version is 2.3.
