Gcovr 4.2 is out, and provides a broad array of new features! With the ability to use config files, new output formats like JSON and SonarQube XML, and the ability to combine coverage data from multiple runs, this release should make it easier to create coverage report in more complex scenarios.

Gcovr is a command line tool that uses gcov to produce code coverage reports in various formats, such as text summaries, detailed HTML reports, and various machine-readable formats. It works with the GCC and Clang compilers.

You can pip install gcovr from PyPI, read the overview on GitHub, or read the full documentation.

Today's ruling by the ECJ on the Google v CNIL case seems to limit the territorial scope of the GDPR.

But that misses the main point of the ruling. First, the analysis is specific to the Right to Erasure.

MongoDB announced that they are withdrawing the SSPL license from the OSI license-review process.

This reduces confusion about what is Open Source and what is not, but leaves a crucial question unsolved: how can we ensure sustainable development for Open Source projects?
