7.3.1

Version 7.3.1 — 2023-09-06

• The semantics of stars in file patterns has been clarified in the docs. A leading or trailing star matches any number of path components, like a double star would. This is different than the behavior of a star in the middle of a pattern. This discrepancy was identified by Sviatoslav Sydorenko, who provided patient detailed diagnosis and graciously agreed to a pragmatic resolution.
• The API docs were missing from the last version. They are now restored.

7.3.0

Version 7.3.0 — 2023-08-12

• Added a Coverage.collect() context manager to start and stop coverage data collection.
• Dropped support for Python 3.7.
• Fix: in unusual circumstances, SQLite cannot be set to asynchronous mode. Coverage.py would fail with the error Safety level may not be changed inside a transaction. This is now avoided, closing issue 1646. Thanks to Michael Bell for the detailed bug report.
• Docs: examples of configuration files now include separate examples for the different syntaxes: .coveragerc, pyproject.toml, setup.cfg, and tox.ini.
• Fix: added nosemgrep comments to our JavaScript code so that semgrep-based SAST security checks won’t raise false alarms about security problems that aren’t problems.
• Added a CITATION.cff file, thanks to Ken Schackart.

7.2.7

Version 7.2.7 — 2023-05-29

• Fix: reverted a change from 6.4.3 that helped Cython, but also increased the size of data files when using dynamic contexts, as described in the now-fixed issue 1586. The problem is now avoided due to a recent change (issue 1538). Thanks to Anders Kaseorg and David Szotten for persisting with problem reports and detailed diagnoses.
• Wheels are now provided for CPython 3.12.

7.2.6

Version 7.2.6 — 2023-05-23

• Fix: the lcov command could raise an IndexError exception if a file is translated to Python but then executed under its own name. Jinja2 does this when rendering templates. Fixes issue 1553.
• Python 3.12 beta 1 now inlines comprehensions. Previously they were compiled as invisible functions and coverage.py would warn you if they weren’t completely executed. This no longer happens under Python 3.12.
• Fix: the coverage debug sys command includes some environment variables in its output. This could have included sensitive data. Those values are now hidden with asterisks, closing issue 1628.

7.2.5

Version 7.2.5 — 2023-04-30

• Fix: html_report() could fail with an AttributeError on isatty if run in an unusual environment where sys.stdout had been replaced. This is now fixed.

7.2.4

Version 7.2.4 — 2023-04-28

PyCon 2023 sprint fixes!

• Fix: with relative_files = true, specifying a specific file to include or omit wouldn’t work correctly (issue 1604). This is now fixed, with testing help by Marc Gibbons.
• Fix: the XML report would have an incorrect <source> element when using relative files and the source option ended with a slash (issue 1541). This is now fixed, thanks to Kevin Brown-Silva.
• When the HTML report location is printed to the terminal, it’s now a terminal-compatible URL, so that you can click the location to open the HTML file in your browser. Finishes issue 1523 thanks to Ricardo Newbery.
• Docs: a new Migrating page with details about how to migrate between major versions of coverage.py. It currently covers the wildcard changes in 7.x. Thanks, Brian Grohe.

7.2.3

Version 7.2.3 — 2023-04-06

• Fix: the [run] sigterm setting was meant to capture data if a process was terminated with a SIGTERM signal, but it didn’t always. This was fixed thanks to Lewis Gaul, closing issue 1599.
• Performance: HTML reports with context information are now much more compact. File sizes are typically as small as one-third the previous size, but can be dramatically smaller. This closes issue 1584 thanks to Oleh Krehel.
• Development dependencies no longer use hashed pins, closing issue 1592.

7.2.2

Version 7.2.2 — 2023-03-16

• Fix: if a virtualenv was created inside a source directory, and a sourced package was installed inside the virtualenv, then all of the third-party packages inside the virtualenv would be measured. This was incorrect, but has now been fixed: only the specified packages will be measured, thanks to Manuel Jacob.
• Fix: the coverage lcov command could create a .lcov file with incorrect LF (lines found) and LH (lines hit) totals. This is now fixed, thanks to Ian Moore.
• Fix: the coverage xml command on Windows could create a .xml file with duplicate <package> elements. This is now fixed, thanks to Benjamin Parzella, closing issue 1573.

7.2.1

Version 7.2.1 — 2023-02-26

• Fix: the PyPI page had broken links to documentation pages, but no longer does, closing issue 1566.
• Fix: public members of the coverage module are now properly indicated so that mypy will find them, fixing issue 1564.

7.2.0

Version 7.2.0 — 2023-02-22

• Added a new setting [report] exclude_also to let you add more exclusions without overwriting the defaults. Thanks, Alpha Chen, closing issue 1391.
• Added a CoverageData.purge_files() method to remove recorded data for a particular file. Contributed by Stephan Deibel.
• Fix: when reporting commands fail, they will no longer congratulate themselves with messages like “Wrote XML report to file.xml” before spewing a traceback about their failure.
• Fix: arguments in the public API that name file paths now accept pathlib.Path objects. This includes the data_file and config_file arguments to the Coverage constructor and the basename argument to CoverageData. Closes issue 1552.
• Fix: In some embedded environments, an IndexError could occur on stop() when the originating thread exits before completion. This is now fixed, thanks to Russell Keith-Magee, closing issue 1542.
• Added a py.typed file to announce our type-hintedness. Thanks, KotlinIsland.
