altcover.visualizer 4.0.644

This package has no dependencies.

Q. Never mind the fluff -- how do I get started?

A. Start with the Quick Start guide : https://github.com/SteveGilham/altcover/wiki/QuickStart-Guide

# 4.0.644 (Doruka series release 5)
This is mainly the FAKE 5.7 support release, since that made a sufficiently breaking API change (expanding the number of fields in the TestOptions record) to need an update to maintain support.  Meanwhile, harvest time is busy a.f.k., so the time spent on the detailed work on the outstanding road-map items has been slow.

* [API] - FAKE 5.7.2 support -- FAKE integration now spans from v5.0 up to current (and should be reasonably future-proofed), and is now also offered on an experimental basis for the .net framework
* various refactorings and rearrangements, some on purely aesthetic grounds, some to improve the reliability of the travis-ci build, but with no functional impact

# 4.0.630 (Doruka series release 4)
* Add SourceLink to the build process (and the .nuspec)
* [BUGFIX] Work around an apparent change in behaviour in mono 5.14 that loses some recorded coverage in runner mode; the problem does not affect .net framework or .net core, but does impact those travis build self-tests that aren't on .net core
* [BUGFIX] Fix localization packaging in .netcore 2.1.4xx
* [BUGFIX] Source scrolling in the global tool version of the visualizer
* [API] Expose all cmdlet functionality as APIs and run the PowerShell cmdlets through the public API
* [Visualizer] add the XML document as a root of the tree view, and the current source file (if any) to the application title bar; clear source pane when new coverage file is selected.

# 4.0.618 (Doruka series release 3)
* [NEW PACKAGE] `altcover.visualizer` containing .net core/GTK3 Visualizer global tool implementation
 * .net core/GTK3 Visualizer also contained in the general-purpose and the API packages for direct `dotnet path/to/AltCover.Visualizer.dll` use
 * needs GTK+3 installed separately -- for Windows, see e.g. https://github.com/GtkSharp/GtkSharp/wiki/Installing-Gtk-on-Windows
* Improved error messages for the GTK# Visualizer
* Improved font handling for the GTK# Visualizer (now it updates immediately)
* [API] strong-name keys can now be meaningfully validated from .net core
* Minor improvements to reliability on mono

# 4.0.603 (Doruka series release 2)
* [BUGFIX] PowerShell and GetVersion tasks might produce empty output in 4.0.600 : now fixed
* [BUGFIX] pack the pwsh support into the API module (omission in 4.0.600)
* [API] Defaults provided for CSApi types `CollectArgs` and `PrepareArgs` equivalent to the F# defaults
* [API] `PrepareParams.Vaildate : unit -> string array`; and `CollectParams.Validate : bool -> string array` to do read-only parameter validation
* [API] The equivalent `public string[] PrepareArgs()` and `public string[] CollectArgs(bool afterPreparation)` for the CSApi types

# 4.0.600 (Doruka series release 1)
* [NEW PACKAGE] AltCover.Api exposing the shared API used by both the MSBuild tasks and the PowerShell `Invoke-AltCover` cmdlet, in native F# and with a C#-friendly adapter layer
 * Also included, integrations with Fake ( >= 5.2.0) and Cake ( >= 0.28.0), each in their separate assembly, to avoid any need to drag in unwanted extra dependencies
 * The PowerShell module and the MSBuild tasks
 * And the `dotnet test` integration
* [ALL PACKAGES] `Compress-Branching` cmdlet to transform OpenCover's liberal idea of significant branches towards AltCover's more restricted approach -- chose either or both of `-SameSpan` to unify branches that go from the same start, and take the same trajectory to the same end (OpenCover issue #786 being one instance of this) and `-WithinSequencePoint` to remove branches interior to a statement (compiler generated things like stashing of lambdas, the hidden conditional `Dispose()` after a `using`, or inside F# inlines -- OpenCover issues #657, #807 being instances of this)
* [BUGFIX] Issue # 31 -- In the case of `dotnet test` with multiple target frameworks make the coverage file `name.extension` go to `name.framework.extension`, be it supplied or be it defaulted.
