43            <h3><a name="20081211">December 11, 2008 - JSCoverage 0.4</a></h3>
44            <p>
45            JSCoverage 0.4 is available for <a href="http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/download.html">download</a>.
46            </p>

48            This release includes many new features:
49            </p>
50            <ul class="list">
51            <li>
52            The new <code>jscoverage-server</code> program is provided as an
53            alternative to the <code>jscoverage</code> program.  The
54            <code>jscoverage-server</code> program is a simple HTTP server which
55            instruments JavaScript code as it is served; this allows you to execute
56            JavaScript and gather code coverage statistics without a preliminary
57            step of creating instrumented code. The <code>jscoverage-server</code>
58            program can either serve files directly from the filesystem or run as a
59            proxy server (with the <code>--proxy</code> option), instrumenting
60            JavaScript provided by another web server.
61            <li>
62            Using <code>jscoverage-server</code>, coverage reports can now be stored
63            to the filesystem.
64            </li>
65            <li>
66            JSCoverage now recognizes special JavaScript comments which specify that
67            certain lines of code should be ignored in coverage reports.
68            </li>
69            <li>
70            The new <code>--encoding</code> option provides better support for
71            different character encodings.
72            </li>
73            <li>
74            The JSCoverage user interface is now faster and more responsive.
75            </li>
76            <li>
77            The new <code>--no-highlight</code> option can be used to disable syntax
78            highlighting (giving better performance for large JavaScript files).
79            </li>
80            <li>
81            The build system has been modified so that <code>make install</code>
82            only installs the <code>jscoverage</code> and
83            <code>jscoverage-server</code> executables and their manual pages.
84            (Previous versions installed SpiderMonkey library and executable files,
85            which could conflict with other versions of SpiderMonkey installed on
86            your system.)
87            </li>
88            <li>
89            JSCoverage now supports several features beyond those found in the
90            <cite>ECMAScript Language Specification</cite>, including the following:
91            <ul class="list">
92            <li>getters and setters
93            <li><code>for each</code> loops
94            <li>generators and iterators
95            <li>the <code>let</code> keyword
96            <li>destructuring assignment
97            <li>array comprehensions
98            <li>expression closures
99            <li>generator expressions
100            </ul>
101            Use the new <code>--js-version</code> option to enable these features.
102            </li>
103            </ul>
104            <p>
105            The GCC C++ compiler (<code>g++</code>) is now required to compile
106            JSCoverage.  (Previously, only the C compiler was needed.)
