+ The basic_html logging mode in Common Test (for

+ The mechanism for running code cover analysis with
+ common_test has been improved. Earlier, if a test run
+ consisted of multiple tests, cover would be started and
+ stopped for each test. This would give "intermediate"
+ cover logs available from the "Coverage log" link on the
+ test suite result pages. To accumulate cover data over
+ all tests, the 'export' option had to be used in the
+ cover spec file. This was not well documented, and the
+ functionality was quite confusing.</p>
+ <p>
+ Using the 'nodes' option in the cover spec file would
+ fail when the test run consisted of multiple tests, since
+ the specified nodes would only be included in the cover
+ analysis of the first test.</p>
+ <p>
+ The repeated compilation and analysis of the same modules
+ was also very time consuming.</p>
+ <p>
+ To overcome these problems, ct will now only cover
+ compile and analyze modules once per test run, i.e. once
+ for each cover spec file. The log file is available via a
+ new button on the top level index page. The old "Coverage
+ log" links on the test suite result pages still exist,
+ but they all point to the same log containing the
+ accumulated result.</p>

+ If multiple tests would run simultaneously on different
+ Erlang nodes, writing their logs to the same directory,
+ then there would often be entries in the all_runs.html
+ log file showing incomplete results (all zeroes) upon
+ completion. This problem was caused by a bug in the
+ Common Test log cache mechanism, which has been fixed.</p>
