We are delighted to report the results of our ongoing efforts to accelerate the writing of tests. Thanks to incremental improvements over the last few releases, Cover today completes the 'write tests' stage 50% faster (on average against our internal benchmarks). Allowing our customers to write tests even faster.

In our constant quest for speed, we have optimized away the need for producing an on-disk index when writing tests. This results in a further time saving on test writing equivalent to 1 second per module.
Harnessing the enhanced log file functionality released previously (in 2022.09.01) we have taken the opportunity to reduce the amount of non-actionable information reported in the CLI console and tool panel. This results in clearer, more targeted output allowing users to produce tests even more efficiently.
Full information continues to be written to the support log files should detailed analysis be required.
Convenient access to the full 'What's New' and release notes has been added to the IntelliJ plug-in menu, allowing you to keep informed of new features and enhancements as we continue to add them.

Resolved an issue which, in some circumstances, caused Cover to report R013 while writing tests for methods which inherit annotations. [Ref: TG-17686]
