Enhancements to the Diffblue Cover log files
As previously announced, we now have two types of log files:
User log files contain details necessary to understand and remedy common configuration and build issues.
Support log files contain extra debug information, which will enable our technical support team to efficiently respond to queries.
This release, we have added additional information into the user log files to make them easier to understand. We have added in the command line options that the user has entered, and also added explanatory execution phase prefixes, such as [Creating]{: .language-plaintext} and [Validating]{: .language-plaintext}.
For both the user and the support log files, we now also only log the classpath once, for ease of reading.
