Unreleased
----------
+- Coverage's data storage has changed. In version 4.x, .coverage files were
+ basically JSON. Now, they are SQLite databases. This means the data file
+ can be created earlier than it used to. A large amount of code was
+ refactored to support this change.
+
+- The old data format is still available (for now) by setting the environment
+ variable COVERAGE_STORAGE=json. Please tell me if you think you need to keep
+ the JSON format.
+
- Development moved from `Bitbucket`_ to `GitHub`_.
- HTML files no longer have trailing and extra whitespace.
