| 17 | <h3><a name="20081211">December 11, 2008 - JSCoverage 0.4</a></h3>
|
| 18 | <p>
|
| 19 | JSCoverage 0.4 is available for <a href="http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/download.html">download</a>.
|
| 20 | </p>
|
| 21 | <p>
|
| 22 | This release includes many new features:
|
| 23 | </p>
|
| 24 | <ul class="list">
|
| 25 | <li>
|
| 26 | The new <code>jscoverage-server</code> program is provided as an
|
| 27 | alternative to the <code>jscoverage</code> program. The
|
| 28 | <code>jscoverage-server</code> program is a simple HTTP server which
|
| 29 | instruments JavaScript code as it is served; this allows you to execute
|
| 30 | JavaScript and gather code coverage statistics without a preliminary
|
| 31 | step of creating instrumented code. The <code>jscoverage-server</code>
|
| 32 | program can either serve files directly from the filesystem or run as a
|
| 33 | proxy server (with the <code>--proxy</code> option), instrumenting
|
| 34 | JavaScript provided by another web server.
|
| 35 | <li>
|
| 36 | Using <code>jscoverage-server</code>, coverage reports can now be stored
|
| 37 | to the filesystem.
|
| 38 | </li>
|
| 39 | <li>
|
| 40 | JSCoverage now recognizes special JavaScript comments which specify that
|
| 41 | certain lines of code should be ignored in coverage reports.
|
| 42 | </li>
|
| 43 | <li>
|
| 44 | The new <code>--encoding</code> option provides better support for
|
| 45 | different character encodings.
|
| 46 | </li>
|
| 47 | <li>
|
| 48 | The JSCoverage user interface is now faster and more responsive.
|
| 49 | </li>
|
| 50 | <li>
|
| 51 | The new <code>--no-highlight</code> option can be used to disable syntax
|
| 52 | highlighting (giving better performance for large JavaScript files).
|
| 53 | </li>
|
| 54 | <li>
|
| 55 | The build system has been modified so that <code>make install</code>
|
| 56 | only installs the <code>jscoverage</code> and
|
| 57 | <code>jscoverage-server</code> executables and their manual pages.
|
| 58 | (Previous versions installed SpiderMonkey library and executable files,
|
| 59 | which could conflict with other versions of SpiderMonkey installed on
|
| 60 | your system.)
|
| 61 | </li>
|
| 62 | <li>
|
| 63 | JSCoverage now supports several features beyond those found in the
|
| 64 | <cite>ECMAScript Language Specification</cite>, including the following:
|
| 65 | <ul class="list">
|
| 66 | <li>getters and setters
|
| 67 | <li><code>for each</code> loops
|
| 68 | <li>generators and iterators
|
| 69 | <li>the <code>let</code> keyword
|
| 70 | <li>destructuring assignment
|
| 71 | <li>array comprehensions
|
| 72 | <li>expression closures
|
| 73 | <li>generator expressions
|
| 74 | </ul>
|
| 75 | Use the new <code>--js-version</code> option to enable these features.
|
| 76 | </li>
|
| 77 | </ul>
|
| 78 | <p>
|
| 79 | The GCC C++ compiler (<code>g++</code>) is now required to compile
|
| 80 | JSCoverage. (Previously, only the C compiler was needed.)
|
| 81 | </p>
