• Python 3.13.0a3 is supported.
• Fix: the JSON report now includes an explicit format version number, closing issue 1732.

• In Python 3.12 and above, you can try an experimental core based on the new sys.monitoring <python:sys.monitoring> module by defining a COVERAGE_CORE=sysmon environment variable. This should be faster for line coverage, but not for branch coverage, and plugins and dynamic contexts are not yet supported with it. I am very interested to hear how it works (or doesn't!) for you.

• Fix: the change for multi-line signature exclusions in 7.3.3 broke other forms of nested clauses being excluded properly. This is now fixed, closing issue 1713.
• Fix: in the HTML report, selecting code for copying won't select the line numbers also. Thanks, Robert Harris.

• Fix: function definitions with multi-line signatures can now be excluded by matching any of the lines, closing issue 684. Thanks, Jan Rusak, Maciej Kowalczyk and Joanna Ejzel.
• Fix: XML reports could fail with a TypeError if files had numeric components that were duplicates except for leading zeroes, like file1.py and file001.py. Fixes issue 1709.
• The coverage annotate command used to announce that it would be removed in a future version. Enough people got in touch to say that they use it, so it will stay. Don't expect it to keep up with other new features though.
• Added new debug options <cmd_run_debug>:
  • pytest writes the pytest test name into the debug output.
  • dataop2 writes the full data being added to CoverageData objects.

• The coverage lcov command ignored the [report] exclude_lines and [report] exclude_also settings (issue 1684). This is now fixed, thanks Jacqueline Lee.
• Sometimes SQLite will create journal files alongside the coverage.py database files. These are ephemeral, but could be mistakenly included when combining data files. Now they are always ignored, fixing issue 1605. Thanks to Brad Smith for suggesting fixes and providing detailed debugging.
• On Python 3.12+, we now disable SQLite writing journal files, which should be a little faster.
• The new 3.12 soft keyword type is properly bolded in HTML reports.
• Removed the "fullcoverage" feature used by CPython to measure the coverage of early-imported standard library modules. CPython stopped using it in 2021, and it stopped working completely in Python 3.13.

• The semantics of stars in file patterns has been clarified in the docs. A leading or trailing star matches any number of path components, like a double star would. This is different than the behavior of a star in the middle of a pattern. This discrepancy was identified by Sviatoslav Sydorenko, who provided patient detailed diagnosis and graciously agreed to a pragmatic resolution.
• The API docs were missing from the last version. They are now restored.

• Added a .Coverage.collect context manager to start and stop coverage data collection.
• Dropped support for Python 3.7.
• Fix: in unusual circumstances, SQLite cannot be set to asynchronous mode. Coverage.py would fail with the error Safety level may not be changed inside a transaction. This is now avoided, closing issue 1646. Thanks to Michael Bell for the detailed bug report.
• Docs: examples of configuration files now include separate examples for the different syntaxes: .coveragerc, pyproject.toml, setup.cfg, and tox.ini.
• Fix: added nosemgrep comments to our JavaScript code so that semgrep-based SAST security checks won't raise false alarms about security problems that aren't problems.
• Added a CITATION.cff file, thanks to Ken Schackart.

• Fix: reverted a change from 6.4.3 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). Thanks to Anders Kaseorg and David Szotten for persisting with problem reports and detailed diagnoses.
• Wheels are now provided for CPython 3.12.

• 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.

➡️  To install: python3 -m pip install coverage==7.2.6

• 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.
