coverage-3.0

• 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.

coverage-3.0b3

• 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.

coverage-3.0b1

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.
