• Improved callback support. See the discussion in the genhtml man page.

• Improved error checking

• lcov regression test suite added to the release - see $LCOV_HOME/share/lcov/tests/README.md for directions on how to execute them in your environment.

• Use lcov to generate coverage reports for lcov - see the directions, above for how to run the lcov regressions and generate a coverage report.

• Significant performance improvements compared to lcov/2.0 - especially when dealing with very large numbers of files.
