-==============================

-
-Version 4.0 --- 20 September 2015
----------------------------------
-
-No changes from 4.0b3
-
-
-Version 4.0b3 --- 7 September 2015
-----------------------------------
-
-- Reporting on an unmeasured file would fail with a traceback. This is now
- fixed, closing `issue 403`_.
-
-- The Jenkins ShiningPanda plugin looks for an obsolete file name to find the
- HTML reports to publish, so it was failing under coverage.py 4.0. Now we
- create that file if we are running under Jenkins, to keep things working
- smoothly. `issue 404`_.
-
-- Kits used to include tests and docs, but didn't install them anywhere, or
- provide all of the supporting tools to make them useful. Kits no longer
- include tests and docs. If you were using them from the older packages, get
- in touch and help me understand how.

-
-Version 4.0b2 --- 22 August 2015
---------------------------------
-
-- 4.0b1 broke --append creating new data files. This is now fixed, closing
- `issue 392`_.
-
-- ``py.test --cov`` can write empty data, then touch files due to ``--source``,
- which made coverage.py mistakenly force the data file to record lines instead
- of arcs. This would lead to a "Can't combine line data with arc data" error
- message. This is now fixed, and changed some method names in the
- CoverageData interface. Fixes `issue 399`_.
-
-- `CoverageData.read_fileobj` and `CoverageData.write_fileobj` replace the
- `.read` and `.write` methods, and are now properly inverses of each other.
-
-- When using ``report --skip-covered``, a message will now be included in the
- report output indicating how many files were skipped, and if all files are
- skipped, coverage.py won't accidentally scold you for having no data to
- report. Thanks, Krystian Kichewko.
-
-- A new conversion utility has been added: ``python -m coverage.pickle2json``
- will convert v3.x pickle data files to v4.x JSON data files. Thanks,
- Alexander Todorov. Closes `issue 395`_.
-
-- A new version identifier is available, `coverage.version_info`, a plain tuple
- of values similar to `sys.version_info`_.

-
-Version 4.0b1 --- 2 August 2015
--------------------------------
-
-- Coverage.py is now licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. See NOTICE.txt for
- details. Closes `issue 313`_.
-
-- The data storage has been completely revamped. The data file is now
- JSON-based instead of a pickle, closing `issue 236`_. The `CoverageData`
- class is now a public supported documented API to the data file.
-
-- A new configuration option, ``[run] note``, lets you set a note that will be
- stored in the `runs` section of the data file. You can use this to annotate
- the data file with any information you like.
-
-- Unrecognized configuration options will now print an error message and stop
- coverage.py. This should help prevent configuration mistakes from passing
- silently. Finishes `issue 386`_.
-
-- In parallel mode, ``coverage erase`` will now delete all of the data files,
- fixing `issue 262`_.
-
-- Coverage.py now accepts a directory name for ``coverage run`` and will run a
- ``__main__.py`` found there, just like Python will. Fixes `issue 252`_.
- Thanks, Dmitry Trofimov.
-
-- The XML report now includes a ``missing-branches`` attribute. Thanks, Steve
- Peak. This is not a part of the Cobertura DTD, so the XML report no longer
- references the DTD.
-
-- Missing branches in the HTML report now have a bit more information in the
- right-hand annotations. Hopefully this will make their meaning clearer.
-
-- All the reporting functions now behave the same if no data had been
- collected, exiting with a status code of 1. Fixed ``fail_under`` to be
- applied even when the report is empty. Thanks, Ionel Cristian Mărieș.
-
-- Plugins are now initialized differently. Instead of looking for a class
- called ``Plugin``, coverage.py looks for a function called ``coverage_init``.
-
-- A file-tracing plugin can now ask to have built-in Python reporting by
- returning `"python"` from its `file_reporter()` method.
-
-- Code that was executed with `exec` would be mis-attributed to the file that
- called it. This is now fixed, closing `issue 380`_.
-
-- The ability to use item access on `Coverage.config` (introduced in 4.0a2) has
- been changed to a more explicit `Coverage.get_option` and
- `Coverage.set_option` API.
-
-- The ``Coverage.use_cache`` method is no longer supported.
-
-- The private method ``Coverage._harvest_data`` is now called
- ``Coverage.get_data``, and returns the ``CoverageData`` containing the
- collected data.
-
-- The project is consistently referred to as "coverage.py" throughout the code
- and the documentation, closing `issue 275`_.
-
-- Combining data files with an explicit configuration file was broken in 4.0a6,
- but now works again, closing `issue 385`_.
-
-- ``coverage combine`` now accepts files as well as directories.
-
-- The speed is back to 3.7.1 levels, after having slowed down due to plugin
- support, finishing up `issue 387`_.

-
-
-Version 4.0a6 --- 21 June 2015
-------------------------------
-
-- Python 3.5b2 and PyPy 2.6.0 are supported.
-
-- The original module-level function interface to coverage.py is no longer
- supported. You must now create a ``coverage.Coverage`` object, and use
- methods on it.
-
-- The ``coverage combine`` command now accepts any number of directories as
- arguments, and will combine all the data files from those directories. This
- means you don't have to copy the files to one directory before combining.
- Thanks, Christine Lytwynec. Finishes `issue 354`_.
-
-- Branch coverage couldn't properly handle certain extremely long files. This
- is now fixed (`issue 359`_).
-
-- Branch coverage didn't understand yield statements properly. Mickie Betz
- persisted in pursuing this despite Ned's pessimism. Fixes `issue 308`_ and
- `issue 324`_.
-
-- The COVERAGE_DEBUG environment variable can be used to set the ``[run] debug``
- configuration option to control what internal operations are logged.
-
-- HTML reports were truncated at formfeed characters. This is now fixed
- (`issue 360`_). It's always fun when the problem is due to a `bug in the
- Python standard library <http://bugs.python.org/issue19035>`_.
-
-- Files with incorrect encoding declaration comments are no longer ignored by
- the reporting commands, fixing `issue 351`_.
-
-- HTML reports now include a timestamp in the footer, closing `issue 299`_.
- Thanks, Conrad Ho.
-
-- HTML reports now begrudgingly use double-quotes rather than single quotes,
- because there are "software engineers" out there writing tools that read HTML
- and somehow have no idea that single quotes exist. Capitulates to the absurd
- `issue 361`_. Thanks, Jon Chappell.
-
-- The ``coverage annotate`` command now handles non-ASCII characters properly,
- closing `issue 363`_. Thanks, Leonardo Pistone.
-
-- Drive letters on Windows were not normalized correctly, now they are. Thanks,
- Ionel Cristian Mărieș.
-
-- Plugin support had some bugs fixed, closing `issue 374`_ and `issue 375`_.
- Thanks, Stefan Behnel.

-
-Version 4.0a5 --- 16 February 2015
-----------------------------------
-
-- Plugin support is now implemented in the C tracer instead of the Python
- tracer. This greatly improves the speed of tracing projects using plugins.
-
-- Coverage.py now always adds the current directory to sys.path, so that
- plugins can import files in the current directory (`issue 358`_).
-
-- If the `config_file` argument to the Coverage constructor is specified as
- ".coveragerc", it is treated as if it were True. This means setup.cfg is
- also examined, and a missing file is not considered an error (`issue 357`_).
-
-- Wildly experimental: support for measuring processes started by the
- multiprocessing module. To use, set ``--concurrency=multiprocessing``,
- either on the command line or in the .coveragerc file (`issue 117`_). Thanks,
- Eduardo Schettino. Currently, this does not work on Windows.
-
-- A new warning is possible, if a desired file isn't measured because it was
- imported before coverage.py was started (`issue 353`_).
-
-- The `coverage.process_startup` function now will start coverage measurement
- only once, no matter how many times it is called. This fixes problems due
- to unusual virtualenv configurations (`issue 340`_).
-
-- Added 3.5.0a1 to the list of supported CPython versions.

-
-
-Version 4.0a4 --- 25 January 2015
----------------------------------
-
-- Plugins can now provide sys_info for debugging output.
-
-- Started plugins documentation.
-
-- Prepared to move the docs to readthedocs.org.
-
-
-Version 4.0a3 --- 20 January 2015
----------------------------------
-
-- Reports now use file names with extensions. Previously, a report would
- describe a/b/c.py as "a/b/c". Now it is shown as "a/b/c.py". This allows
- for better support of non-Python files, and also fixed `issue 69`_.
-
-- The XML report now reports each directory as a package again. This was a bad
- regression, I apologize. This was reported in `issue 235`_, which is now
- fixed.
-
-- A new configuration option for the XML report: ``[xml] package_depth``
- controls which directories are identified as packages in the report.
- Directories deeper than this depth are not reported as packages.
- The default is that all directories are reported as packages.
- Thanks, Lex Berezhny.
-
-- When looking for the source for a frame, check if the file exists. On
- Windows, .pyw files are no longer recorded as .py files. Along the way, this
- fixed `issue 290`_.
-
-- Empty files are now reported as 100% covered in the XML report, not 0%
- covered (`issue 345`_).
-
-- Regexes in the configuration file are now compiled as soon as they are read,
- to provide error messages earlier (`issue 349`_).

-.. _issue 349: https://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/349/bad-regex-in-config-should-get-an-earlier
-
-
-Version 4.0a2 --- 14 January 2015
----------------------------------
-
-- Officially support PyPy 2.4, and PyPy3 2.4. Drop support for
- CPython 3.2 and older versions of PyPy. The code won't work on CPython 3.2.
- It will probably still work on older versions of PyPy, but I'm not testing
- against them.
-
-- Plugins!
-
-- The original command line switches (`-x` to run a program, etc) are no
- longer supported.
-
-- A new option: `coverage report --skip-covered` will reduce the number of
- files reported by skipping files with 100% coverage. Thanks, Krystian
- Kichewko. This means that empty `__init__.py` files will be skipped, since
- they are 100% covered, closing `issue 315`_.
-
-- You can now specify the ``--fail-under`` option in the ``.coveragerc`` file
- as the ``[report] fail_under`` option. This closes `issue 314`_.
-
-- The ``COVERAGE_OPTIONS`` environment variable is no longer supported. It was
- a hack for ``--timid`` before configuration files were available.
-
-- The HTML report now has filtering. Type text into the Filter box on the
- index page, and only modules with that text in the name will be shown.
- Thanks, Danny Allen.
-
-- The textual report and the HTML report used to report partial branches
- differently for no good reason. Now the text report's "missing branches"
- column is a "partial branches" column so that both reports show the same
- numbers. This closes `issue 342`_.
-
-- If you specify a ``--rcfile`` that cannot be read, you will get an error
- message. Fixes `issue 343`_.
-
-- The ``--debug`` switch can now be used on any command.
-
-- You can now programmatically adjust the configuration of coverage.py by
- setting items on `Coverage.config` after construction.
-
-- A module run with ``-m`` can be used as the argument to ``--source``, fixing
- `issue 328`_. Thanks, Buck Evan.
-
-- The regex for matching exclusion pragmas has been fixed to allow more kinds
- of whitespace, fixing `issue 334`_.
-
-- Made some PyPy-specific tweaks to improve speed under PyPy. Thanks, Alex
- Gaynor.
-
-- In some cases, with a source file missing a final newline, coverage.py would
- count statements incorrectly. This is now fixed, closing `issue 293`_.
-
-- The status.dat file that HTML reports use to avoid re-creating files that
- haven't changed is now a JSON file instead of a pickle file. This obviates
- `issue 287`_ and `issue 237`_.

-
-
-Version 4.0a1 --- 27 September 2014
------------------------------------
-
-- Python versions supported are now CPython 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4, and
- PyPy 2.2.
-
-- Gevent, eventlet, and greenlet are now supported, closing `issue 149`_.
- The ``concurrency`` setting specifies the concurrency library in use. Huge
- thanks to Peter Portante for initial implementation, and to Joe Jevnik for
- the final insight that completed the work.
-
-- Options are now also read from a setup.cfg file, if any. Sections are
- prefixed with "coverage:", so the ``[run]`` options will be read from the
- ``[coverage:run]`` section of setup.cfg. Finishes `issue 304`_.
-
-- The ``report -m`` command can now show missing branches when reporting on
- branch coverage. Thanks, Steve Leonard. Closes `issue 230`_.
-
-- The XML report now contains a <source> element, fixing `issue 94`_. Thanks
- Stan Hu.
-
-- The class defined in the coverage module is now called ``Coverage`` instead
- of ``coverage``, though the old name still works, for backward compatibility.
-
-- The ``fail-under`` value is now rounded the same as reported results,
- preventing paradoxical results, fixing `issue 284`_.
-
-- The XML report will now create the output directory if need be, fixing
- `issue 285`_. Thanks, Chris Rose.
-
-- HTML reports no longer raise UnicodeDecodeError if a Python file has
- undecodable characters, fixing `issue 303`_ and `issue 331`_.
-
-- The annotate command will now annotate all files, not just ones relative to
- the current directory, fixing `issue 57`_.
-
-- The coverage module no longer causes deprecation warnings on Python 3.4 by
- importing the imp module, fixing `issue 305`_.
-
-- Encoding declarations in source files are only considered if they are truly
- comments. Thanks, Anthony Sottile.

-
-
-Version 3.7.1 --- 13 December 2013
-----------------------------------
-
-- Improved the speed of HTML report generation by about 20%.
-
-- Fixed the mechanism for finding OS-installed static files for the HTML report
- so that it will actually find OS-installed static files.
-
-
-Version 3.7 --- 6 October 2013
-------------------------------
-
-- Added the ``--debug`` switch to ``coverage run``. It accepts a list of
- options indicating the type of internal activity to log to stderr.
-
-- Improved the branch coverage facility, fixing `issue 92`_ and `issue 175`_.
-
-- Running code with ``coverage run -m`` now behaves more like Python does,
- setting sys.path properly, which fixes `issue 207`_ and `issue 242`_.
-
-- Coverage.py can now run .pyc files directly, closing `issue 264`_.
-
-- Coverage.py properly supports .pyw files, fixing `issue 261`_.
-
-- Omitting files within a tree specified with the ``source`` option would
- cause them to be incorrectly marked as unexecuted, as described in
- `issue 218`_. This is now fixed.
-
-- When specifying paths to alias together during data combining, you can now
- specify relative paths, fixing `issue 267`_.
-
-- Most file paths can now be specified with username expansion (``~/src``, or
- ``~build/src``, for example), and with environment variable expansion
- (``build/$BUILDNUM/src``).
-
-- Trying to create an XML report with no files to report on, would cause a
- ZeroDivideError, but no longer does, fixing `issue 250`_.
-
-- When running a threaded program under the Python tracer, coverage.py no
- longer issues a spurious warning about the trace function changing: "Trace
- function changed, measurement is likely wrong: None." This fixes `issue
- 164`_.
-
-- Static files necessary for HTML reports are found in system-installed places,
- to ease OS-level packaging of coverage.py. Closes `issue 259`_.
-
-- Source files with encoding declarations, but a blank first line, were not
- decoded properly. Now they are. Thanks, Roger Hu.
-
-- The source kit now includes the ``__main__.py`` file in the root coverage
- directory, fixing `issue 255`_.

-
-- Coverage.py runs on Python 2.3 and 2.4 again. It was broken in 3.6b1.
-
-- The C extension is optionally compiled using a different more widely-used
- technique, taking another stab at fixing `issue 80`_ once and for all.
-
-- Combining data files would create entries for phantom files if used with
- ``source`` and path aliases. It no longer does.
-
-- ``debug sys`` now shows the configuration file path that was read.
-
-- If an oddly-behaved package claims that code came from an empty-string
- file name, coverage.py no longer associates it with the directory name,
- fixing `issue 221`_.

-
-Version 3.6b1 --- 28 November 2012
-----------------------------------
-
-- Wildcards in ``include=`` and ``omit=`` arguments were not handled properly
- in reporting functions, though they were when running. Now they are handled
- uniformly, closing `issue 143`_ and `issue 163`_. **NOTE**: it is possible
- that your configurations may now be incorrect. If you use ``include`` or
- ``omit`` during reporting, whether on the command line, through the API, or
- in a configuration file, please check carefully that you were not relying on
- the old broken behavior.
-
-- The **report**, **html**, and **xml** commands now accept a ``--fail-under``
- switch that indicates in the exit status whether the coverage percentage was
- less than a particular value. Closes `issue 139`_.
-
-- The reporting functions coverage.report(), coverage.html_report(), and
- coverage.xml_report() now all return a float, the total percentage covered
- measurement.
-
-- The HTML report's title can now be set in the configuration file, with the
- ``--title`` switch on the command line, or via the API.
-
-- Configuration files now support substitution of environment variables, using
- syntax like ``${WORD}``. Closes `issue 97`_.
-
-- Embarrassingly, the ``[xml] output=`` setting in the .coveragerc file simply
- didn't work. Now it does.
-
-- The XML report now consistently uses file names for the file name attribute,
- rather than sometimes using module names. Fixes `issue 67`_.
- Thanks, Marcus Cobden.
-
-- Coverage percentage metrics are now computed slightly differently under
- branch coverage. This means that completely unexecuted files will now
- correctly have 0% coverage, fixing `issue 156`_. This also means that your
- total coverage numbers will generally now be lower if you are measuring
- branch coverage.
-
-- When installing, now in addition to creating a "coverage" command, two new
- aliases are also installed. A "coverage2" or "coverage3" command will be
- created, depending on whether you are installing in Python 2.x or 3.x.
- A "coverage-X.Y" command will also be created corresponding to your specific
- version of Python. Closes `issue 111`_.
-
-- The coverage.py installer no longer tries to bootstrap setuptools or
- Distribute. You must have one of them installed first, as `issue 202`_
- recommended.
-
-- The coverage.py kit now includes docs (closing `issue 137`_) and tests.
-
-- On Windows, files are now reported in their correct case, fixing `issue 89`_
- and `issue 203`_.
-
-- If a file is missing during reporting, the path shown in the error message
- is now correct, rather than an incorrect path in the current directory.
- Fixes `issue 60`_.
-
-- Running an HTML report in Python 3 in the same directory as an old Python 2
- HTML report would fail with a UnicodeDecodeError. This issue (`issue 193`_)
- is now fixed.
-
-- Fixed yet another error trying to parse non-Python files as Python, this
- time an IndentationError, closing `issue 82`_ for the fourth time...
-
-- If `coverage xml` fails because there is no data to report, it used to
- create a zero-length XML file. Now it doesn't, fixing `issue 210`_.
-
-- Jython files now work with the ``--source`` option, fixing `issue 100`_.
-
-- Running coverage.py under a debugger is unlikely to work, but it shouldn't
- fail with "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable". Fixes `issue
- 201`_.
-
-- On some Linux distributions, when installed with the OS package manager,
- coverage.py would report its own code as part of the results. Now it won't,
- fixing `issue 214`_, though this will take some time to be repackaged by the
- operating systems.
-
-- Docstrings for the legacy singleton methods are more helpful. Thanks Marius
- Gedminas. Closes `issue 205`_.
-
-- The pydoc tool can now show documentation for the class `coverage.coverage`.
- Closes `issue 206`_.
-
-- Added a page to the docs about contributing to coverage.py, closing
- `issue 171`_.
-
-- When coverage.py ended unsuccessfully, it may have reported odd errors like
- ``'NoneType' object has no attribute 'isabs'``. It no longer does,
- so kiss `issue 153`_ goodbye.

-Version 3.5.3 --- 29 September 2012
------------------------------------
-
-- Line numbers in the HTML report line up better with the source lines, fixing
- `issue 197`_, thanks Marius Gedminas.
-
-- When specifying a directory as the source= option, the directory itself no
- longer needs to have a ``__init__.py`` file, though its sub-directories do,
- to be considered as source files.
-
-- Files encoded as UTF-8 with a BOM are now properly handled, fixing
- `issue 179`_. Thanks, Pablo Carballo.
-
-- Fixed more cases of non-Python files being reported as Python source, and
- then not being able to parse them as Python. Closes `issue 82`_ (again).
- Thanks, Julian Berman.
-
-- Fixed memory leaks under Python 3, thanks, Brett Cannon. Closes `issue 147`_.
-
-- Optimized .pyo files may not have been handled correctly, `issue 195`_.
- Thanks, Marius Gedminas.
-
-- Certain unusually named file paths could have been mangled during reporting,
- `issue 194`_. Thanks, Marius Gedminas.
-
-- Try to do a better job of the impossible task of detecting when we can't
- build the C extension, fixing `issue 183`_.
-
-- Testing is now done with `tox`_, thanks, Marc Abramowitz.

-Version 3.5.2 --- 4 May 2012
-----------------------------
-
-No changes since 3.5.2.b1
-
-
-Version 3.5.2b1 --- 29 April 2012
----------------------------------
-
-- The HTML report has slightly tweaked controls: the buttons at the top of
- the page are color-coded to the source lines they affect.
-
-- Custom CSS can be applied to the HTML report by specifying a CSS file as
- the ``extra_css`` configuration value in the ``[html]`` section.
-
-- Source files with custom encodings declared in a comment at the top are now
- properly handled during reporting on Python 2. Python 3 always handled them
- properly. This fixes `issue 157`_.
-
-- Backup files left behind by editors are no longer collected by the source=
- option, fixing `issue 168`_.
-
-- If a file doesn't parse properly as Python, we don't report it as an error
- if the file name seems like maybe it wasn't meant to be Python. This is a
- pragmatic fix for `issue 82`_.
-
-- The ``-m`` switch on ``coverage report``, which includes missing line numbers
- in the summary report, can now be specified as ``show_missing`` in the
- config file. Closes `issue 173`_.
-
-- When running a module with ``coverage run -m <modulename>``, certain details
- of the execution environment weren't the same as for
- ``python -m <modulename>``. This had the unfortunate side-effect of making
- ``coverage run -m unittest discover`` not work if you had tests in a
- directory named "test". This fixes `issue 155`_ and `issue 142`_.
-
-- Now the exit status of your product code is properly used as the process
- status when running ``python -m coverage run ...``. Thanks, JT Olds.
-
-- When installing into pypy, we no longer attempt (and fail) to compile
- the C tracer function, closing `issue 166`_.

-
-
-Version 3.5.1 --- 23 September 2011
------------------------------------
-
-- The ``[paths]`` feature unfortunately didn't work in real world situations
- where you wanted to, you know, report on the combined data. Now all paths
- stored in the combined file are canonicalized properly.
-
-
-Version 3.5.1b1 --- 28 August 2011
-----------------------------------
-
-- When combining data files from parallel runs, you can now instruct
- coverage.py about which directories are equivalent on different machines. A
- ``[paths]`` section in the configuration file lists paths that are to be
- considered equivalent. Finishes `issue 17`_.
-
-- for-else constructs are understood better, and don't cause erroneous partial
- branch warnings. Fixes `issue 122`_.
-
-- Branch coverage for ``with`` statements is improved, fixing `issue 128`_.
-
-- The number of partial branches reported on the HTML summary page was
- different than the number reported on the individual file pages. This is
- now fixed.
-
-- An explicit include directive to measure files in the Python installation
- wouldn't work because of the standard library exclusion. Now the include
- directive takes precedence, and the files will be measured. Fixes
- `issue 138`_.
-
-- The HTML report now handles Unicode characters in Python source files
- properly. This fixes `issue 124`_ and `issue 144`_. Thanks, Devin
- Jeanpierre.
-
-- In order to help the core developers measure the test coverage of the
- standard library, Brandon Rhodes devised an aggressive hack to trick Python
- into running some coverage.py code before anything else in the process.
- See the coverage/fullcoverage directory if you are interested.

-
-
-Version 3.5 --- 29 June 2011
-----------------------------
-
-- The HTML report hotkeys now behave slightly differently when the current
- chunk isn't visible at all: a chunk on the screen will be selected,
- instead of the old behavior of jumping to the literal next chunk.
- The hotkeys now work in Google Chrome. Thanks, Guido van Rossum.
-
-
-Version 3.5b1 --- 5 June 2011
------------------------------
-
-- The HTML report now has hotkeys. Try ``n``, ``s``, ``m``, ``x``, ``b``,
- ``p``, and ``c`` on the overview page to change the column sorting.
- On a file page, ``r``, ``m``, ``x``, and ``p`` toggle the run, missing,
- excluded, and partial line markings. You can navigate the highlighted
- sections of code by using the ``j`` and ``k`` keys for next and previous.
- The ``1`` (one) key jumps to the first highlighted section in the file,
- and ``0`` (zero) scrolls to the top of the file.
-
-- The ``--omit`` and ``--include`` switches now interpret their values more
- usefully. If the value starts with a wildcard character, it is used as-is.
- If it does not, it is interpreted relative to the current directory.
- Closes `issue 121`_.
-
-- Partial branch warnings can now be pragma'd away. The configuration option
- ``partial_branches`` is a list of regular expressions. Lines matching any of
- those expressions will never be marked as a partial branch. In addition,
- there's a built-in list of regular expressions marking statements which should
- never be marked as partial. This list includes ``while True:``, ``while 1:``,
- ``if 1:``, and ``if 0:``.
-
-- The ``coverage()`` constructor accepts single strings for the ``omit=`` and
- ``include=`` arguments, adapting to a common error in programmatic use.
-
-- Modules can now be run directly using ``coverage run -m modulename``, to
- mirror Python's ``-m`` flag. Closes `issue 95`_, thanks, Brandon Rhodes.
-
-- ``coverage run`` didn't emulate Python accurately in one small detail: the
- current directory inserted into ``sys.path`` was relative rather than
- absolute. This is now fixed.
-
-- HTML reporting is now incremental: a record is kept of the data that
- produced the HTML reports, and only files whose data has changed will
- be generated. This should make most HTML reporting faster.
-
-- Pathological code execution could disable the trace function behind our
- backs, leading to incorrect code measurement. Now if this happens,
- coverage.py will issue a warning, at least alerting you to the problem.
- Closes `issue 93`_. Thanks to Marius Gedminas for the idea.
-
-- The C-based trace function now behaves properly when saved and restored
- with ``sys.gettrace()`` and ``sys.settrace()``. This fixes `issue 125`_
- and `issue 123`_. Thanks, Devin Jeanpierre.
-
-- Source files are now opened with Python 3.2's ``tokenize.open()`` where
- possible, to get the best handling of Python source files with encodings.
- Closes `issue 107`_, thanks, Brett Cannon.
-
-- Syntax errors in supposed Python files can now be ignored during reporting
- with the ``-i`` switch just like other source errors. Closes `issue 115`_.
-
-- Installation from source now succeeds on machines without a C compiler,
- closing `issue 80`_.
-
-- Coverage.py can now be run directly from a working tree by specifying
- the directory name to python: ``python coverage_py_working_dir run ...``.
- Thanks, Brett Cannon.
-
-- A little bit of Jython support: `coverage run` can now measure Jython
- execution by adapting when $py.class files are traced. Thanks, Adi Roiban.
- Jython still doesn't provide the Python libraries needed to make
- coverage reporting work, unfortunately.
-
-- Internally, files are now closed explicitly, fixing `issue 104`_. Thanks,
- Brett Cannon.

-
-Version 3.4 --- 19 September 2010
----------------------------------
-
-- The XML report is now sorted by package name, fixing `issue 88`_.
-
-- Programs that exited with ``sys.exit()`` with no argument weren't handled
- properly, producing a coverage.py stack trace. That is now fixed.
-
-.. _issue 88: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/88/xml-report-lists-packages-in-random-order
-
-
-Version 3.4b2 --- 6 September 2010
-----------------------------------
-
-- Completely unexecuted files can now be included in coverage results, reported
- as 0% covered. This only happens if the --source option is specified, since
- coverage.py needs guidance about where to look for source files.
-
-- The XML report output now properly includes a percentage for branch coverage,
- fixing `issue 65`_ and `issue 81`_.
-
-- Coverage percentages are now displayed uniformly across reporting methods.
- Previously, different reports could round percentages differently. Also,
- percentages are only reported as 0% or 100% if they are truly 0 or 100, and
- are rounded otherwise. Fixes `issue 41`_ and `issue 70`_.
-
-- The precision of reported coverage percentages can be set with the
- ``[report] precision`` config file setting. Completes `issue 16`_.
-
-- Threads derived from ``threading.Thread`` with an overridden `run` method
- would report no coverage for the `run` method. This is now fixed, closing
- `issue 85`_.

-
-Version 3.4b1 --- 21 August 2010
---------------------------------
-
-- BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY: the ``--omit`` and ``--include`` switches now take
- file patterns rather than file prefixes, closing `issue 34`_ and `issue 36`_.
-
-- BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY: the `omit_prefixes` argument is gone throughout
- coverage.py, replaced with `omit`, a list of file name patterns suitable for
- `fnmatch`. A parallel argument `include` controls what files are included.
-
-- The run command now has a ``--source`` switch, a list of directories or
- module names. If provided, coverage.py will only measure execution in those
- source files.
-
-- Various warnings are printed to stderr for problems encountered during data
- measurement: if a ``--source`` module has no Python source to measure, or is
- never encountered at all, or if no data is collected.
-
-- The reporting commands (report, annotate, html, and xml) now have an
- ``--include`` switch to restrict reporting to modules matching those file
- patterns, similar to the existing ``--omit`` switch. Thanks, Zooko.
-
-- The run command now supports ``--include`` and ``--omit`` to control what
- modules it measures. This can speed execution and reduce the amount of data
- during reporting. Thanks Zooko.
-
-- Since coverage.py 3.1, using the Python trace function has been slower than
- it needs to be. A cache of tracing decisions was broken, but has now been
- fixed.
-
-- Python 2.7 and 3.2 have introduced new opcodes that are now supported.
-
-- Python files with no statements, for example, empty ``__init__.py`` files,
- are now reported as having zero statements instead of one. Fixes `issue 1`_.
-
-- Reports now have a column of missed line counts rather than executed line
- counts, since developers should focus on reducing the missed lines to zero,
- rather than increasing the executed lines to varying targets. Once
- suggested, this seemed blindingly obvious.
-
-- Line numbers in HTML source pages are clickable, linking directly to that
- line, which is highlighted on arrival. Added a link back to the index page
- at the bottom of each HTML page.
-
-- Programs that call ``os.fork`` will properly collect data from both the child
- and parent processes. Use ``coverage run -p`` to get two data files that can
- be combined with ``coverage combine``. Fixes `issue 56`_.
-
-- Coverage.py is now runnable as a module: ``python -m coverage``. Thanks,
- Brett Cannon.
-
-- When measuring code running in a virtualenv, most of the system library was
- being measured when it shouldn't have been. This is now fixed.
-
-- Doctest text files are no longer recorded in the coverage data, since they
- can't be reported anyway. Fixes `issue 52`_ and `issue 61`_.
-
-- Jinja HTML templates compile into Python code using the HTML file name,
- which confused coverage.py. Now these files are no longer traced, fixing
- `issue 82`_.
-
-- Source files can have more than one dot in them (foo.test.py), and will be
- treated properly while reporting. Fixes `issue 46`_.
-
-- Source files with DOS line endings are now properly tokenized for syntax
- coloring on non-DOS machines. Fixes `issue 53`_.
-
-- Unusual code structure that confused exits from methods with exits from
- classes is now properly analyzed. See `issue 62`_.
-
-- Asking for an HTML report with no files now shows a nice error message rather
- than a cryptic failure ('int' object is unsubscriptable). Fixes `issue 59`_.

-- Settings are now read from a .coveragerc file. A specific file can be
- specified on the command line with --rcfile=FILE. The name of the file can
- be programmatically set with the `config_file` argument to the coverage()
- constructor, or reading a config file can be disabled with
- `config_file=False`.
-
-- Fixed a problem with nested loops having their branch possibilities
- mischaracterized: `issue 39`_.
-
-- Added coverage.process_start to enable coverage measurement when Python
- starts.
-
-- Parallel data file names now have a random number appended to them in
- addition to the machine name and process id.
-
-- Parallel data files combined with "coverage combine" are deleted after
- they're combined, to clean up unneeded files. Fixes `issue 40`_.
-
-- Exceptions thrown from product code run with "coverage run" are now displayed
- without internal coverage.py frames, so the output is the same as when the
- code is run without coverage.py.
-
-- The `data_suffix` argument to the coverage constructor is now appended with
- an added dot rather than simply appended, so that .coveragerc files will not
- be confused for data files.
-
-- Python source files that don't end with a newline can now be executed, fixing
- `issue 47`_.
-
-- Added an AUTHORS.txt file.

----------------------------------
-
-- Branch coverage improvements:
-
- - The XML report now includes branch information.
-
-- Click-to-sort HTML report columns are now persisted in a cookie. Viewing
- a report will sort it first the way you last had a coverage report sorted.
- Thanks, `Chris Adams`_.
-
-- On Python 3.x, setuptools has been replaced by `Distribute`_.
-
-.. _Distribute: http://packages.python.org/distribute/

-Version 3.2b2 --- 19 November 2009
-----------------------------------
-
-- Branch coverage improvements:
-
- - Classes are no longer incorrectly marked as branches: `issue 32`_.
-
- - "except" clauses with types are no longer incorrectly marked as branches:
- `issue 35`_.
-
-- Fixed some problems syntax coloring sources with line continuations and
- source with tabs: `issue 30`_ and `issue 31`_.
-
-- The --omit option now works much better than before, fixing `issue 14`_ and
- `issue 33`_. Thanks, Danek Duvall.

-Version 3.2b1 --- 10 November 2009
-----------------------------------
-
-- Branch coverage!
-
-- XML reporting has file paths that let Cobertura find the source code.
-
-- The tracer code has changed, it's 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`_.
-
-.. _issue 23: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/23

-
-Version 3.1 --- 4 October 2009
-------------------------------
-
-- Source code can now be read from eggs. Thanks, Ross Lawley. Fixes
- `issue 25`_.
-
-.. _issue 25: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/25
-
-
-Version 3.1b1 --- 27 September 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 show modules from other directories. Fixed `issue 11`_.
-
-- HTML reports now display syntax-colored Python source.
-
-- Programs that change directory will still write .coverage files in the
- directory where execution started. Fixed `issue 24`_.
-
-- Added a "coverage debug" command for getting diagnostic information about the
- coverage.py installation.

-.. _issue 24: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/24
-
-
-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 `issue 9`_.
-
-- Fixed a bizarre problem involving pyexpat, whereby lines following XML parser
- invocations could be overlooked. Fixed `issue 10`_.
-
-- 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.py modules will be mentioned in the nose --with-cover plug-in.
- Fixed `issue 8`_.
-
-- 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
-----------------------------
-
-- Fixed the way the Python library was ignored. Too much code was being
- excluded the old way.
-
-- Tabs are now properly converted in HTML reports. Previously indentation was
- lost. Fixed `issue 6`_.
-
-- Nested modules now get a proper flat_rootname. Thanks, Christian Heimes.
-
-.. _issue 6: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/6
-
-
-Version 3.0b3 --- 16 May 2009
------------------------------
-
-- 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.
-
-- Improved the finding of code files. For example, .pyc files that have been
- installed after compiling are now located correctly. Thanks, Detlev
- Offenbach.
-
-- 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.
-
-
-Version 3.0b --- 30 April 2009
-------------------------------
-
-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().
-
-
-Version 3.0b1 --- 7 March 2009
-------------------------------
-
-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.
-
-
-Version 2.85 --- 14 September 2008
-----------------------------------
-
-- Add support for finding source files in eggs. Don't check for
- morf's being instances of ModuleType, instead use duck typing so that
- pseudo-modules can participate. Thanks, Imri Goldberg.
-
-- Use os.realpath as part of the fixing of file names so that symlinks won't
- confuse things. Thanks, Patrick Mezard.
-
-
-Version 2.80 --- 25 May 2008
-----------------------------
-
-- Open files in rU mode to avoid line ending craziness. Thanks, Edward Loper.
-
-
-Version 2.78 --- 30 September 2007
-----------------------------------
-
-- Don't try to predict whether a file is Python source based on the extension.
- Extension-less files are often Pythons scripts. Instead, simply parse the file
- and catch the syntax errors. Hat tip to Ben Finney.
-
-
-Version 2.77 --- 29 July 2007
------------------------------
-
-- Better packaging.
-
-
-Version 2.76 --- 23 July 2007
------------------------------
-
-- Now Python 2.5 is *really* fully supported: the body of the new with
- statement is counted as executable.
-
-
-Version 2.75 --- 22 July 2007
------------------------------
-
-- Python 2.5 now fully supported. The method of dealing with multi-line
- statements is now less sensitive to the exact line that Python reports during
- execution. Pass statements are handled specially so that their disappearance
- during execution won't throw off the measurement.
-
-
-Version 2.7 --- 21 July 2007
-----------------------------
-
-- "#pragma: nocover" is excluded by default.
-
-- Properly ignore docstrings and other constant expressions that appear in the
- middle of a function, a problem reported by Tim Leslie.
-
-- coverage.erase() shouldn't clobber the exclude regex. Change how parallel
- mode is invoked, and fix erase() so that it erases the cache when called
- programmatically.
-
-- In reports, ignore code executed from strings, since we can't do anything
- useful with it anyway.
-
-- Better file handling on Linux, thanks Guillaume Chazarain.
-
-- Better shell support on Windows, thanks Noel O'Boyle.
-
-- Python 2.2 support maintained, thanks Catherine Proulx.
-
-- Minor changes to avoid lint warnings.
-
-
-Version 2.6 --- 23 August 2006
-------------------------------
-
-- Applied Joseph Tate's patch for function decorators.
-
-- Applied Sigve Tjora and Mark van der Wal's fixes for argument handling.
-
-- Applied Geoff Bache's parallel mode patch.
-
-- Refactorings to improve testability. Fixes to command-line logic for parallel
- mode and collect.
-
-
-Version 2.5 --- 4 December 2005
--------------------------------
-
-- Call threading.settrace so that all threads are measured. Thanks Martin
- Fuzzey.
-
-- Add a file argument to report so that reports can be captured to a different
- destination.
-
-- Coverage.py can now measure itself.
-
-- Adapted Greg Rogers' patch for using relative file names, and sorting and
- omitting files to report on.
-
-
-Version 2.2 --- 31 December 2004
---------------------------------
-
-- Allow for keyword arguments in the module global functions. Thanks, Allen.
-
-
-Version 2.1 --- 14 December 2004
---------------------------------
-
-- Return 'analysis' to its original behavior and add 'analysis2'. Add a global
- for 'annotate', and factor it, adding 'annotate_file'.
-
-
-Version 2.0 --- 12 December 2004
---------------------------------
-
-Significant code changes.
-
-- Finding executable statements has been rewritten so that docstrings and
- other quirks of Python execution aren't mistakenly identified as missing
- lines.
-
-- Lines can be excluded from consideration, even entire suites of lines.
-
-- The file system cache of covered lines can be disabled programmatically.
-
-- Modernized the code.
-
