This has changed a number of things: + + - More code paths are now considered runnable, especially in `try`/`except` + structures. This may mean that coverage.py will identify more code paths + as uncovered. This could either raise or lower your overall coverage + number. + + - Python 3.5's `async` and `await` keywords are properly supported, fixing + `issue 434`_. + + - A some long-standing branch coverage bugs were fixed: + + - `issue 129`_: functions with only a docstring for a body would incorrectly + report a missing branch on the ``def`` line. + + - `issue 212`_: code in an ``except`` block could be incorrectly marked as + a missing branch. + + - `issue 146`_: context managers (``with`` statements) in a loop or ``try`` + block could confuse the branch measurement, reporting incorrect partial + branches. + + - `issue 422`_: in Python 3.5, an actual partial branch could be marked as + complete. + +- Pragmas to disable coverage measurement can now be used on decorator lines, + and they will apply to the entire function or class being decorated. This + implements the feature requested in `issue 131`_. + +- Multiprocessing support is now available on Windows.
