Version 5.0a4 — 2018-11-25
- You can specify the command line to run your program with the
[run] command_lineconfiguration setting, as requested in issue 695. - Coverage will create directories as needed for the data file if they don’t exist, closing issue 721.
- The
coverage runcommand has always adjusted the first entry in sys.path, to properly emulate how Python runs your program. Now this adjustment is skipped if sys.path[0] is already different than Python’s default. This fixes issue 715. - Improvements to context support:
- The “no such table: meta” error is fixed.: issue 716.
- Combining data files is now much faster.
- Python 3.8 (as of today!) passes all tests.
