Released 2024-10-09
- Dropped support for Python 3.8 and PyPy 3.8.
- Fix: a final wildcard match/case clause assigning to a name (
case _ as value) was incorrectly marked as a missing branch. This is now fixed, closing issue 1860. - Fewer things are considered branches now. Lambdas, comprehensions, and generator expressions are no longer marked as missing branches if they don’t complete execution.
- Fix: the HTML report didn’t properly show multi-line f-strings that end with a backslash continuation. This is now fixed, closing issue 1836, thanks to LiuYinCarl and Marco Ricci.
- Fix: the LCOV report now has correct line numbers (fixing issue 1846`_) and better branch descriptions for BRDA records (fixing issue 1850). There are other changes to lcov also, including a new configuration option line_checksums to control whether line checksums are included in the lcov report. The default is false. To keep checksums set it to true. All this work is thanks to Zack Weinberg (pull 1849_ and pull 1851).
- Fixed the docs for multi-line regex exclusions, closing issue 1863.
- Fixed a potential crash in the C tracer, closing issue 1835, thanks to Jan Kühle.
