7.0.0 (2025-09-09)

• Dropped support for subprocesses measurement.

  It was a feature added long time ago when coverage lacked a nice way to measure subprocesses created in tests. It relied on a .pth file, there was no way to opt-out and it created bad interations with coverage's new patch system <https://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html#run-patch>_ added in 7.10 <https://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/7.10.6/changes.html#version-7-10-0-2025-07-24>_.

  To migrate to this release you might need to enable the suprocess patch, example for .coveragerc:

  .. code-block:: ini

  [run] patch = subprocess

  This release also requires at least coverage 7.10.6.

• Switched packaging to have metadata completely in pyproject.toml and use hatchling <https://pypi.org/project/hatchling/>_ for building. Contributed by Ofek Lev in [#551](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/issues/551) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/pull/551>_ with some extras in [#716](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/issues/716) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/pull/716>_.
