Improvements and New Features + + +

Support for Unicode has been implemented.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-10302

+
+ +

+ A new function, cover:flush(Nodes), is added which will + fetch data from remote nodes without stopping cover on + those nodes. This is used by test_server and common_test + when it is safe to assume that the node will be + terminated after the test anyway. The purpose is to avoid + processes crashing when re-loading the original beam if + the processes is still running old code.

+

+ Remote nodes will now continue to count code coverage if + the connection to the main node is broken. Earlier, a + broken connection would cause the cover_server on the + remote node to die and thus any still cover compiled + modules would cause process crash when trying to insert + cover data in ets tables that used to exist on the + cover_server. The new functionality also involves + synchronization with the main node if the nodes are + reconnected.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

Where necessary a comment stating encoding has been + added to Erlang files. The comment is meant to be removed + in Erlang/OTP R17B when UTF-8 becomes the default + encoding.
