Version 7.10.2 — 2025-08-03

• Fix: some code with NOP bytecodes could report missing branches that are actually executed. This is now fixed, closing issue 1999_. Python 3.9 still shows the problem.

Version 7.10.1 — 2025-07-27

• Fix: the exclusion for if TYPE_CHECKING: was wrong: it marked the branch as partial, but it should have been a line exclusion so the entire clause would be excluded. Improves issue 831_.

• Fix: changed where .pth files are written for patch = subprocess, closing issue 2006_.

Version 7.10.0 — 2025-07-24

• A new configuration option: ":ref:config_run_patch" specifies named patches to work around some limitations in coverage measurement. These patches are available:

  • patch = _exit lets coverage save its data even when :func:os._exit() <python:os._exit> is used to abruptly end the process. This closes long-standing issue 310_ as well as its duplicates: issue 312, issue 1673, issue 1845, and issue 1941.

  • patch = subprocess measures coverage in Python subprocesses created with :mod:subprocess, :func:os.system, or one of the :func:execv <python:os.execl> or :func:spawnv <python:os.spawnl> family of functions. Closes old issue 367_ and duplicate issue 378_.

  • patch = execv adjusts the :func:execv <python:os.execl> family of functions to save coverage data before ending the current program and starting the next. Not available on Windows. Closes issue 43_ after 15 years!

• The HTML report now dimly colors subsequent lines in multi-line statements.
