+------------------------------
+Change history for Coverage.py
+------------------------------
+
+
+Version 3.0.1, 7 July 2009
+--------------------------
+
+- Removed the recursion limit in the tracer function. Previously, code that
+ ran more than 500 frames deep would crash.
+
+- Fixed a bizarre problem involving pyexpat, whereby lines following XML parser
+ invocations could be overlooked.
+
+- On Python 2.3, coverage.py could mis-measure code with exceptions being
+ raised. This is now fixed.
+
+- The coverage.py code itself will now not be measured by coverage.py, and no
+ coverage modules will be mentioned in the nose --with-cover plugin.
+
+- When running source files, coverage.py now opens them in universal newline
+ mode just like Python does. This lets it run Windows files on Mac, for
+ example.
+
+
+Version 3.0, 13 June 2009
+-------------------------
+
+- Fixed the way the Python library was ignored. Too much code was being
+ excluded the old way.
+
+- Tabs are now properly converted in HTML reports. Previously indentation was
+ lost.
+
+- Nested modules now get a proper flat_rootname. Thanks, Christian Heimes.
+
+
+Version 3.0b3, 16 May 2009
+--------------------------
+
+- Added parameters to coverage.__init__ for options that had been set on the
+ coverage object itself.
+
+- Added clear_exclude() and get_exclude_list() methods for programmatic
+ manipulation of the exclude regexes.
+
+- Added coverage.load() to read previously-saved data from the data file.
+
+- Improved the finding of code files. For example, .pyc files that have been
+ installed after compiling are now located correctly. Thanks, Detlev
+ Offenbach.
+
+- When using the object api (that is, constructing a coverage() object), data
+ is no longer saved automatically on process exit. You can re-enable it with
+ the auto_data=True parameter on the coverage() constructor. The module-level
+ interface still uses automatic saving.
+
+
+Version 3.0b2, 30 April 2009
+----------------------------
+
+HTML reporting, and continued refactoring.
+
+- HTML reports and annotation of source files: use the new -b (browser) switch.
+ Thanks to George Song for code, inspiration and guidance.
+
+- Code in the Python standard library is not measured by default. If you need
+ to measure standard library code, use the -L command-line switch during
+ execution, or the cover_pylib=True argument to the coverage() constructor.
+
+- Source annotation into a directory (-a -d) behaves differently. The
+ annotated files are named with their hierarchy flattened so that same-named
+ files from different directories no longer collide. Also, only files in the
+ current tree are included.
+
+- coverage.annotate_file is no longer available.
+
+- Programs executed with -x now behave more as they should, for example,
+ __file__ has the correct value.
+
+- .coverage data files have a new pickle-based format designed for better
+ extensibility.
+
+- Removed the undocumented cache_file argument to coverage.usecache().
+
+
+Version 3.0b1, 7 March 2009
+---------------------------
+
+Major overhaul.
+
+- Coverage is now a package rather than a module. Functionality has been split
+ into classes.
+
+- The trace function is implemented in C for speed. Coverage runs are now
+ much faster. Thanks to David Christian for productive micro-sprints and
+ other encouragement.
+
+- Executable lines are identified by reading the line number tables in the
+ compiled code, removing a great deal of complicated analysis code.
+
+- Precisely which lines are considered executable has changed in some cases.
+ Therefore, your coverage stats may also change slightly.
+
+- The singleton coverage object is only created if the module-level functions
+ are used. This maintains the old interface while allowing better
+ programmatic use of Coverage.
+
+- The minimum supported Python version is 2.3.
+
+
+Version 2.85, 14 September 2008
+-------------------------------
+
+- Add support for finding source files in eggs. Don't check for
+ morf's being instances of ModuleType, instead use duck typing so that
+ pseudo-modules can participate. Thanks, Imri Goldberg.
+
+- Use os.realpath as part of the fixing of filenames so that symlinks won't
+ confuse things. Thanks, Patrick Mezard.
+
+
+Version 2.80, 25 May 2008
+-------------------------
+
+- Open files in rU mode to avoid line ending craziness. Thanks, Edward Loper.
+
+
+Version 2.78, 30 September 2007
+-------------------------------
+
+- Don't try to predict whether a file is Python source based on the extension.
+ Extensionless files are often Pythons scripts. Instead, simply parse the file
+ and catch the syntax errors. Hat tip to Ben Finney.
+
+
+Version 2.77, 29 July 2007
+--------------------------
+
+- Better packaging.
+
+
+Version 2.76, 23 July 2007
+--------------------------
+
+- Now Python 2.5 is *really* fully supported: the body of the new with
+ statement is counted as executable.
+
+
+Version 2.75, 22 July 2007
+--------------------------
+
+- Python 2.5 now fully supported. The method of dealing with multi-line
+ statements is now less sensitive to the exact line that Python reports during
+ execution. Pass statements are handled specially so that their disappearance
+ during execution won't throw off the measurement.
+
+
+Version 2.7, 21 July 2007
+-------------------------
+
+- "#pragma: nocover" is excluded by default.
+
+- Properly ignore docstrings and other constant expressions that appear in the
+ middle of a function, a problem reported by Tim Leslie.
+
+- coverage.erase() shouldn't clobber the exclude regex. Change how parallel
+ mode is invoked, and fix erase() so that it erases the cache when called
+ programmatically.
+
+- In reports, ignore code executed from strings, since we can't do anything
+ useful with it anyway.
+
+- Better file handling on Linux, thanks Guillaume Chazarain.
+
+- Better shell support on Windows, thanks Noel O'Boyle.
+
+- Python 2.2 support maintained, thanks Catherine Proulx.
+
+- Minor changes to avoid lint warnings.
+
+
+Version 2.6, 23 August 2006
+---------------------------
+
+- Applied Joseph Tate's patch for function decorators.
+
+- Applied Sigve Tjora and Mark van der Wal's fixes for argument handling.
+
+- Applied Geoff Bache's parallel mode patch.
+
+- Refactorings to improve testability. Fixes to command-line logic for parallel
+ mode and collect.
+
+
+Version 2.5, 4 December 2005
+----------------------------
+
+- Call threading.settrace so that all threads are measured. Thanks Martin
+ Fuzzey.
+
+- Add a file argument to report so that reports can be captured to a different
+ destination.
+
+- coverage.py can now measure itself.
+
+- Adapted Greg Rogers' patch for using relative filenames, and sorting and
+ omitting files to report on.
+
+
+Version 2.2, 31 December 2004
+-----------------------------
+
+- Allow for keyword arguments in the module global functions. Thanks, Allen.
+
+
+Version 2.1, 14 December 2004
+-----------------------------
+
+- Return 'analysis' to its original behavior and add 'analysis2'. Add a global
+ for 'annotate', and factor it, adding 'annotate_file'.
+
+
+Version 2.0, 12 December 2004
+-----------------------------
+
+Significant code changes.
+
+- Finding executable statements has been rewritten so that docstrings and
+ other quirks of Python execution aren't mistakenly identified as missing
+ lines.
+
+- Lines can be excluded from consideration, even entire suites of lines.
+
+- The filesystem cache of covered lines can be disabled programmatically.
+
+- Modernized the code.
+
+
+Earlier History
+---------------
+
+2001-12-04 GDR Created.
+
+2001-12-06 GDR Added command-line interface and source code annotation.
+
+2001-12-09 GDR Moved design and interface to separate documents.
+
+2001-12-10 GDR Open cache file as binary on Windows. Allow simultaneous -e and
+-x, or -a and -r.
+
+2001-12-12 GDR Added command-line help. Cache analysis so that it only needs to
+be done once when you specify -a and -r.
+
+2001-12-13 GDR Improved speed while recording. Portable between Python 1.5.2
+and 2.1.1.
+
+2002-01-03 GDR Module-level functions work correctly.
+
+2002-01-07 GDR Update sys.path when running a file with the -x option, so that
+it matches the value the program would get if it were run on its own.
