<h3><a name="TODO">TODO, 2009 - JSCoverage 0.5</a></h3> |
| 18 |
<p> |
| 19 |
JSCoverage 0.5 is available for <a href="http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/download.html">download</a>. |
| 20 |
</p> |
| 21 |
<p> |
| 22 |
This release contains a number of new features and bug fixes: |
| 23 |
</p> |
| 24 |
<ul class="list"> |
| 25 |
<li> |
| 26 |
The method used to calculate overall percentage code coverage for all |
| 27 |
files has changed. Previously, the calculation was done using an |
| 28 |
unweighted average: each file's percentage code coverage contributed |
| 29 |
equally to the total, regardless of the number of lines of code in the |
| 30 |
file. Now, the calculation is done using a weighted average. This |
| 31 |
fixes |
| 32 |
<a href="http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/bugs/6">bug #6</a> (thanks to |
| 33 |
Liu Cougar). |
| 34 |
</li> |
| 35 |
<li> |
| 36 |
Contiguous lines in the "Missing" column are now grouped together (thanks to |
| 37 |
Liu Cougar). |
| 38 |
</li> |
| 39 |
<li> |
| 40 |
The "Source" tab is no longer empty when code being tested throws an |
| 41 |
uncaught exception |
| 42 |
(fixing <a href="http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/bugs/5">bug #5</a>) |
| 43 |
</li> |
| 44 |
<li> |
| 45 |
Previously, certain uses of the <code>new</code> operator were |
| 46 |
instrumented incorrectly; this has now been fixed |
| 47 |
(thanks to Guillaume Lung). |
| 48 |
</li> |
| 49 |
<li> |
| 50 |
The <code>jscoverage-server</code> program now allows more characters in |
| 51 |
URLs (thanks to Guillaume Lung). |
| 52 |
</li> |
| 53 |
<li> |
| 54 |
The <code>jscoverage-server</code> program now handles HTTP headers with |
| 55 |
empty values (thanks to Velo). |
| 56 |
</li> |
| 57 |
<li> |
| 58 |
The <code>jscoverage</code> program now refuses to instrument code which |
| 59 |
has already been instrumented (thanks to Velo). |
| 60 |
</li> |
| 61 |
<li> |
| 62 |
URLs containing spaces now work correctly (thanks to Igor Papkov). |
| 63 |
</li> |
| 64 |
<li> |
| 65 |
Previously, on Windows, the <code>jscoverage</code> program |
| 66 |
was unable to instrument a directory in a drive root; this has now been |
| 67 |
fixed. |
| 68 |
</li> |
| 69 |
<li> |
| 70 |
A limitation of 65,535 lines per file and 65,535 characters per line has |
| 71 |
been removed. |
| 72 |
</li> |
| 73 |
<li> |
| 74 |
Floating-point numbers are how handled with improved precision. |
| 75 |
</li> |
| 76 |
<li> |
| 77 |
The <code>jscoverage-server</code> program can no longer bind to the same port multiple times on Windows. |
| 78 |
</li> |
| 79 |
<li> |
| 80 |
Some bugs in <code>jscoverage-server</code>'s handling of the "chunked" |
| 81 |
Transfer-Encoding have been fixed. |
| 82 |
</li> |
| 83 |
</ul> |

<h3><a name="20081211">December 11, 2008 - JSCoverage 0.4</a></h3> |
| 86 |
<p> |
| 87 |
JSCoverage 0.4 is available for <a href="http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/download.html">download</a>. |
| 88 |
</p> |
| 89 |
<p> |
| 90 |
This release includes many new features: |
| 91 |
</p> |
| 92 |
<ul class="list"> |
| 93 |
<li> |
| 94 |
The new <code>jscoverage-server</code> program is provided as an |
| 95 |
alternative to the <code>jscoverage</code> program. The |
| 96 |
<code>jscoverage-server</code> program is a simple HTTP server which |
| 97 |
instruments JavaScript code as it is served; this allows you to execute |
| 98 |
JavaScript and gather code coverage statistics without a preliminary |
| 99 |
step of creating instrumented code. The <code>jscoverage-server</code> |
| 100 |
program can either serve files directly from the filesystem or run as a |
| 101 |
proxy server (with the <code>--proxy</code> option), instrumenting |
| 102 |
JavaScript provided by another web server. |
| 103 |
<li> |
| 104 |
Using <code>jscoverage-server</code>, coverage reports can now be stored |
| 105 |
to the filesystem. |
| 106 |
</li> |
| 107 |
<li> |
| 108 |
JSCoverage now recognizes special JavaScript comments which specify that |
| 109 |
certain lines of code should be ignored in coverage reports. |
| 110 |
</li> |
| 111 |
<li> |
| 112 |
The new <code>--encoding</code> option provides better support for |
| 113 |
different character encodings. |
| 114 |
</li> |
| 115 |
<li> |
| 116 |
The JSCoverage user interface is now faster and more responsive. |
| 117 |
</li> |
| 118 |
<li> |
| 119 |
The new <code>--no-highlight</code> option can be used to disable syntax |
| 120 |
highlighting (giving better performance for large JavaScript files). |
| 121 |
</li> |
| 122 |
<li> |
| 123 |
The build system has been modified so that <code>make install</code> |
| 124 |
only installs the <code>jscoverage</code> and |
| 125 |
<code>jscoverage-server</code> executables and their manual pages. |
| 126 |
(Previous versions installed SpiderMonkey library and executable files, |
| 127 |
which could conflict with other versions of SpiderMonkey installed on |
| 128 |
your system.) |
| 129 |
</li> |
| 130 |
<li> |
| 131 |
JSCoverage now supports several features beyond those found in the |
| 132 |
<cite>ECMAScript Language Specification</cite>, including the following: |
| 133 |
<ul class="list"> |
| 134 |
<li>getters and setters |
| 135 |
<li><code>for each</code> loops |
| 136 |
<li>generators and iterators |
| 137 |
<li>the <code>let</code> keyword |
| 138 |
<li>destructuring assignment |
| 139 |
<li>array comprehensions |
| 140 |
<li>expression closures |
| 141 |
<li>generator expressions |
| 142 |
</ul> |
| 143 |
Use the new <code>--js-version</code> option to enable these features. |
| 144 |
</li> |
| 145 |
</ul> |
| 146 |
<p> |
| 147 |
The GCC C++ compiler (<code>g++</code>) is now required to compile |
| 148 |
JSCoverage. (Previously, only the C compiler was needed.) |
| 149 |
