Araiguma (respin)

NOTE: The main executable links the still in beta (after more than a year) Mono.Cecil 0.10 version. The binary injected into the instrumented code does not. Rather than hold my releases on the Mono.Cecil schedule, I make this disclaimer instead.

1.6 (Araiguma respin)

• Remove the last vestiges of the pipe-based solution, some redundant code in the non-runner case that did nothing (but waste cycles) in the RC.

1.6-rc (Araiguma respin release candidates)

• Moved to FAKE 5 (classic) for build and related streamlining of the build scripts
• Performance tuning for the coverage gathering (trade off of async+backlog vs strict synchronous gathering) -- observed faster than OpenCover on like-for-like tests
• Fixed an intermittent spin-wait and fail in the unit tests
• Removed obsolete code that catered to Mono.Cecil 0.9.5 limitations

1.6-beta (Araiguma respin preview)

• simplified and hopefully more robust concurrency handling for the data collection.
• reduced size of the intermediate files (to under 5% of the previous sizes for large runs) compared with previous beta
• NOTE this breaks compatibility between previously instrumented code and the new runner (and vice versa); in general, only same-version components are supported.

1.6-beta (Araiguma respin preview)

• The AltCover.Runner helper program in 1.5 used named pipes, collecting data from the instrumented process as it ran; this was strongly platform dependent and brittle -- and was not compatible in the classic framework with the .net 2 support.
• Named pipes eliminated in favour of writing to a file and post-processing
• Mechanism compatible with .net 2.0 so made available everywhere
• separate .net core only runner program eliminated in favour of an alternate command-line interface for the main AltCover

Araiguma RC 1

1.5-rc (Araiguma release candidate)

• AltCover.Runner helper program for collecting coverage data for .net core runs, avoiding the need to get everything written out during the ProcessExit handling window.
• various refactorings to support this, but no user-visible changes.

Araiguma beta 3

1.4-beta (Araiguma preview releases)

New

• "e|assemblyExcludeFilter=" option to exclude assemblies which depend on instrumented/rewritten ones
• Speed-up in writing out of the instrumentation results which happens in the ProcessExit handling and thus has a limited processing time (mostly affects instrumented code running under dotnet test)
• UNFIXED : earlier [f61f951] BUGFIX Write .mdb out for .mdb in -- as Mono 0.10 will only write .pdb files on .net Framework on Windows, and only .mdb anywhere else, including .net core on Windows

Previously

• validation of the code on Linux using travis-ci, both using Mono and the full framework, and .net core. Note that there is an apparent limitation in that F# projects don't generate .pdb (or .mdb) files under Mono, even when C# projects do, thus they cannot yet be instrumented.
• reorganised directory structure in the .nuget package, with AltCover.exe moving from tools/ to tools/net45/ with
• .net core 2.0 support : both the original .net framework build being able to inject instrumentation into dotnet-built code, but also a .net core 2.0 tool version (delivered as source to dotnet run via the altcover.core.sln in tools/netcoreapp2.0/) that will also instrument both full-framework and .net core code, with the limitation that this build cannot use strong-naming of assemblies.
• .net 2.0 support : Building the recorder assembly against .net 2.0 so that it can be used with down-version code as required
• Extended filtering : values are extended from being single substring for matching to a semi-colon separated list of regexes; the only backwards incompatibility will be '.' characters which would need to be escaped.
