    • The function lists table in both themes are changed to a grid layout. (#1216)

    • Restructure the the summary and move some data to the footer. (#1217)
    • Add sorting by clicking on the headers of the file overview table and the function table. (#1219)

  • Fix reported excluded branches in LCOV report. (#1171)
  • Fix exclusion filter --gcov-exclude. (#1176)

  • Remove generated gcov files on error and catch additional gcov error message. (#1182)
  • Change default HTML theme excluded line color. (#1179)
  • Move theme colors to a separate CSS file so they can be overridden with a simple --html-template-dir directory with only the style.colors.css file (#1179)
  • Fix regular expression for detecting a version mismatch between gcc and gcov. (#1187)
  • Improve logging messages for GCOV execution errors to not print information twice and add trace messages for gcov execution. (#1187)
  • Fix handling of lines after function specialization. (#1189)
  • Improve performance by changing logging messages (level and lazy interpolation). (#1191)
  • Fix text report for covered decisions. (#1192)
  • Fix runtime problem introduced with 8.4. (#1194)
  • Fix wrong entries in data source attribute of JSON report. (#1194)
  • Fix nested HTML report without coverage data. (#1197)
