7.2.7

--------------------------

- Fix: reverted a `change from 6.4.3 <pull 1347b_>`_ that helped Cython, but
also increased the size of data files when using dynamic contexts, as
described in the now-fixed `issue 1586`_. The problem is now avoided due to a
recent change (`issue 1538 <issue 1538b_>`_). Thanks to `Anders Kaseorg
<pull 1629_>`_ and David Szotten for persisting with problem reports and
detailed diagnoses.

- Wheels are now provided for CPython 3.12.

7.2.6

--------------------------

- Fix: the ``lcov`` command could raise an IndexError exception if a file is
translated to Python but then executed under its own name. Jinja2 does this
when rendering templates. Fixes `issue 1553`_.

- Python 3.12 beta 1 now inlines comprehensions. Previously they were compiled
as invisible functions and coverage.py would warn you if they weren't
completely executed. This no longer happens under Python 3.12.

- Fix: the ``coverage debug sys`` command includes some environment variables
in its output. This could have included sensitive data. Those values are
now hidden with asterisks, closing `issue 1628`_.

7.2.5

--------------------------

- Fix: ``html_report()`` could fail with an AttributeError on ``isatty`` if run
in an unusual environment where sys.stdout had been replaced. This is now
fixed.

7.2.4

--------------------------

PyCon 2023 sprint fixes!

- Fix: with ``relative_files = true``, specifying a specific file to include or
omit wouldn't work correctly (`issue 1604`_). This is now fixed, with
testing help by `Marc Gibbons <pull 1608_>`_.

- Fix: the XML report would have an incorrect ``<source>`` element when using
relative files and the source option ended with a slash (`issue 1541`_).
This is now fixed, thanks to `Kevin Brown-Silva <pull 1608_>`_.

- When the HTML report location is printed to the terminal, it's now a
terminal-compatible URL, so that you can click the location to open the HTML
file in your browser. Finishes `issue 1523`_ thanks to `Ricardo Newbery
<pull 1613_>`_.

- Docs: a new :ref:`Migrating page <migrating>` with details about how to
migrate between major versions of coverage.py. It currently covers the
wildcard changes in 7.x. Thanks, `Brian Grohe <pull 1610_>`_.

7.2.3

--------------------------

- Fix: the :ref:`config_run_sigterm` setting was meant to capture data if a
process was terminated with a SIGTERM signal, but it didn't always. This was
fixed thanks to `Lewis Gaul <pull 1600_>`_, closing `issue 1599`_.

- Performance: HTML reports with context information are now much more compact.
File sizes are typically as small as one-third the previous size, but can be
dramatically smaller. This closes `issue 1584`_ thanks to `Oleh Krehel
<pull 1587_>`_.

- Development dependencies no longer use hashed pins, closing `issue 1592`_.

7.2.2

--------------------------

- Fix: if a virtualenv was created inside a source directory, and a sourced
package was installed inside the virtualenv, then all of the third-party
packages inside the virtualenv would be measured. This was incorrect, but
has now been fixed: only the specified packages will be measured, thanks to
`Manuel Jacob <pull 1560_>`_.

- Fix: the ``coverage lcov`` command could create a .lcov file with incorrect
LF (lines found) and LH (lines hit) totals. This is now fixed, thanks to
`Ian Moore <pull 1583_>`_.

- Fix: the ``coverage xml`` command on Windows could create a .xml file with
duplicate ``<package>`` elements. This is now fixed, thanks to `Benjamin
Parzella <pull 1574_>`_, closing `issue 1573`_.

.. _pull 1560: https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/pull/1560
