v0.5.2 (2011-09-12)

• Another fix for a bug in JSON processing introduced with MultiJSON in 0.5.1 (see https://github.com/colszowka/simplecov/pull/75, thanks @sferik)

v0.5.1 (2011-09-12)

Note: Yanked 2011-09-12 because the MultiJSON-patch had a crucial bug

• Fix for invalid gemspec dependency string (see https://github.com/colszowka/simplecov/pull/70,
  http://blog.rubygems.org/2011/08/31/shaving-the-yaml-yacc.html, thanks @jspradlin)

• Added JSON in the form of the multi_json gem as dependency for those cases when built-in JSON
  is unavailable (see https://github.com/colszowka/simplecov/issues/72
  and https://github.com/colszowka/simplecov/pull/74, thanks @sferik)

v0.5.0 (2011-09-09)

Note: Yanked 2011-09-09 because of trouble with the gemspec.

• JSON is now used instead of YAML for resultset caching (used for merging). Should resolve
  a lot of problems people used to have because of YAML parser errors.

• There’s a new adapter ‘test_frameworks’. Use it outside of Rails to remove test/,
  spec/, features/ and autotest/ dirs from your coverage reports, either directly
  with SimpleCov.start 'test_frameworks' or with SimpleCov.load_adapter 'test_frameworks'

• SimpleCov configuration can now be placed centrally in a text file .simplecov, which will
  be automatically read on require 'simplecov'. This makes using custom configuration like
  groups and filters across your test suites much easier as you only have to specify your config
  once. Just put the whole SimpleCov.start (...) code into APP_ROOT/.simplecov

• Lines can now be skipped by using the :nocov: flag in comments that wrap the code that should be
  skipped, like in this example (thanks @phillipkoebbe)

        #:nocov:
    def skipped
        @foo * 2
    end
    #:nocov:
  

• Moved file set coverage analytics from simplecov-html to SimpleCov::FileList, a new subclass
  of Array that is always returned for SourceFile lists (i.e. in groups) and can now be used
  in all formatters without the need to roll your own.

• The exceptions you used to get after removing some code and re-running your tests because SimpleCov
  couldn’t find the cached source lines should be resolved (thanks @goneflyin)

• Coverage strength metric: Average hits/line per source file and result group (thanks @trans)

• Finally, SimpleCov has an extensive Cucumber test suite

• Full compatibility with Ruby 1.9.3.preview1

HTML Formatter:

• The display of source files has been improved a lot. Weird scrolling trouble, out-of-scope line hit counts and such should be a thing of the past. Also, it is prettier now.
• Source files are now syntax highlighted
• File paths no longer have that annoying ‘./’ in front of them
