7.13.0

Version 7.13.0 — 2025-12-08

• Feature: coverage.py now supports .coveragerc.toml configuration files. These files use TOML syntax and take priority over pyproject.toml but lower priority than .coveragerc files. Closes issue 1643 thanks to Olena Yefymenko.
• Fix: we now include a permanent .pth file which is installed with the code, fixing issue 2084. In 7.12.1b1 this was done incorrectly: it didn’t work when using the source wheel (py3-none-any). This is now fixed. Thanks, Henry Schreiner.
• Deprecated: when coverage.py is installed, it creates three command entry points: coverage, coverage3, and coverage-3.10 (if installed for Python 3.10). The second and third of these are not needed and will eventually be removed. They still work for now, but print a message about their deprecation.

7.12.1b1

Version 7.12.1b1 — 2025-11-30

• Fix: coverage.py now includes a permanent .pth file in the distribution which is installed with the code. This fixes issue 2084: failure to patch for subprocess measurement when site-packages is not writable.

7.12.0

Version 7.12.0 — 2025-11-18

• The HTML report now shows separate coverage totals for statements and branches, as well as the usual combined coverage percentage. Thanks to Ryuta Otsuka for the discussion and the implementation.
• The JSON report now includes separate coverage totals for statements and branches, thanks to Ryuta Otsuka.
• Fix: except* clauses were not handled properly under the “sysmon” measurement core, causing KeyError exceptions as described in issue 2086. This is now fixed.
• Fix: we now defend against aggressive mocking of open() that could cause errors inside coverage.py. An example of a failure is in issue 2083.
• Fix: in unusual cases where a test suite intentionally exhausts the system’s file descriptors to test handling errors in open(), coverage.py would fail when trying to open source files, as described in issue 2091. This is now fixed.
• A small tweak to the HTML report: file paths now use thin spaces around slashes to make them easier to read.

7.11.3

Version 7.11.3 — 2025-11-09

• Fix: the 7.11.1 changes meant that conflicts between a requested measurement core and other settings would raise an error. This was a breaking change from previous behavior, as reported in issue 2076 and issue 2078.

  The previous behavior has been restored: when the requested core conflicts with other settings, another core is used instead, and a warning is issued.

• For contributors: the repo has moved from Ned’s nedbat GitHub account to the coveragepy GitHub organization. The default branch has changed from master to main.

7.11.2

Version 7.11.2 — 2025-11-08

• Fix: using the “sysmon” measurement core in 7.11.1, if Python code was claimed to come from a non-Python file, a NotPython exception could be raised. This could happen for example with Jinja templates compiled to Python, as reported in issue 2077. This is now fixed.
• Doc: corrected the first entry in the 7.11.1 changelog.

7.11.1

Version 7.11.1 — 2025-11-07

• Fix: some chanages to details of how the measurement core is chosen, and how conflicting settings are handled. The “sysmon” core cannot be used with some conurrency settings, with dynamic context, and in Python 3.12/3.13, with branch measurement.
  • If the core is not specified and defaults to “sysmon” (Python 3.14+), but other settings conflict with sysmon, then the “ctrace” core will be used instead with no warning. For concurrency conflicts, this used to produce an error, as described in issue 2064.
  • If the “sysmon” core is explicitly requested in your configuration, but other settings conflict, an error is now raised. This used to produce a warning.
• Fix: some multi-line case clauses or for loops (and probably other constructs) could cause incorrect claims of missing branches with the sys.monitoring core, as described in issue 2070. This is now fixed.
• Fix: when running in pytest under coverage, a breakpoint() would stop in the wrong frame, one level down from where it should, as described in issue 1420. This was due to a coverage change in v6.4.1 that seemed to give a slight performance improvement, but I couldn’t reproduce the performance gain, so it’s been reverted, fixing the debugger problem.
• A new debug option --debug=core shows which core is in use and why.
• Split sqlite debugging information out of the sys coverage debug and --debug option options since it’s bulky and not very useful.
• Updated the How coverage.py works page to better describe the three different measurement cores.

7.10.7

Version 7.10.7 — 2025-09-21

• Performance: with branch coverage in large files, generating HTML, JSON, or LCOV reports could take far too long due to some quadratic behavior when creating the function and class index pages. This is now fixed, closing issue 2048. Thanks to Daniel Diniz for help diagnosing the problem.
• Most warnings and a few errors now have links to a page in the docs explaining the specific message. Closes issue 1921.

7.10.6

Version 7.10.6 — 2025-08-29

• Fix: source directories were not properly communicated to subprocesses that ran in different directories, as reported in issue 1499. This is now fixed.
• Performance: Alex Gaynor continues fine-tuning the speed of combination, especially with many contexts.

7.10.5

Version 7.10.5 — 2025-08-23

• Big speed improvements for coverage combine: it’s now about twice as fast! Huge thanks to Alex Gaynor for pull requests 2032, 2033, and 2034.
