I&#39;m pleased to announce the release of testfixtures 4.12.0 featuring the following:<br>
<br>
- Add support for specifying a callable to extract rows from log records<br>
  when using LogCapture().<br>
<br>
- Add support for recursive comparison of log messages with<br>
  LogCapture().<br>
<br>
The package is on PyPI and a full list of all the links to docs, issue trackers and the like can be found here:<br>

                                            Sorry, I meant: do the paths
                                            recorded in the .coverage
                                            files need to be absolute or
                                            could Coverage be changed to
                                            just record the path
                                            relatively to the current
                                            working directory at the
                                            start of execution?<br>
