+ If a module includes eunit.hrl, a parse transform adds
+ the function test/0 on line 0 in the module. A bug in
+ OTP-18.0 caused cover:analyse_to_file/1 to fail to insert
+ cover data in the output file when line 0 existed in the
+ cover data table. This is now corrected.</p>

+ <p>
+ In order to improve performance of the cover tool, new
+ functions are added for cover compilation and analysis on
+ multiple files. This allows for more parallelisation.</p>
+ <p>
+ Some improvements of the data base access is also done in
+ order to improve the performance when analysing and
+ resetting cover data.</p>
+ <p>
+ Minor incompatibility: An error reason from
+ analyse_to_file is changed from no_source_code_found to
+ {no_source_code_found,Module}.</p>
