This release significantly simplifies Hypothesis's internal logic for
data generation, by removing a number of heuristics of questionable or
unproven value.
The results of this change will vary significantly from test to test.
Most test suites will see significantly faster data generation and
lower memory usage. The "quality" of the generated data may go up or
down depending on your particular test suites.
If you see any significant regressions in Hypothesis's ability to find
bugs in your code as a result of this release, please file an issue to
let us know.
Users of the new targeted property-based testing functionality are
reasonably likely to see improvements in data generation, as this
release changes the search algorithm for targeted property based
testing to one that is more likely to be productive than the existing
approach.
