simplecov 0.19.0

on Ruby Gems

Breaking Changes

• Dropped support for Ruby 2.4, it reached EOL

Enhancements

• observe forked processes (enable with SimpleCov.enable_for_subprocesses). See #881, thanks to @robotdana
• SimpleCov distinguishes better that it stopped processing because of a previous error vs. SimpleCov is the originator of said error due to coverage requirements.

Bugfixes

• Changing the SimpleCov.root combined with the root filtering didn't work. Now they do! Thanks to @deivid-rodriguez and see #894
• in parallel test execution it could happen that the last coverage result was written to disk when it didn't complete yet, changed to only write it once it's the final result
• if you run parallel tests only the final process will report violations of the configured test coverage, not all previous processes
• changed the parallel_tests merging mechanisms to do the waiting always in the last process, should reduce race conditions

Noteworthy

• The repo has moved to https://github.com/simplecov-ruby/simplecov - everything stays the same, redirects should work but you might wanna update anyhow
• The primary development branch is now main, not master anymore. If you get simplecov directly from github change your reference. For a while master will still be occasionally updated but that's no long term solion.
