4.0.0 (2022-09-28)

Note that this release drops support for multiprocessing.

• --cov-fail-under no longer causes pytest --collect-only to fail Contributed by Zac Hatfield-Dodds in [#511](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/issues/511) <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/pull/511>_.

• Dropped support for multiprocessing (mostly because issue 82408 <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/82408>_). This feature was mostly working but very broken in certain scenarios and made the test suite very flaky and slow.

  There is builtin multiprocessing support in coverage and you can migrate to that. All you need is this in your .coveragerc::

  [run] concurrency = multiprocessing parallel = true sigterm = true
