This release introduces an easily accessible status bar widget for the Plugin providing quick access to license consumption details. It also resolves various issues with the CLI, Plugin and Reports.

## Important Notices

### Changes to test code

* **Test Method Ordering**: In an upcoming release, Cover will adjust test method ordering and imports for inner classes. This will cause a one-time churn, resulting in larger-than-usual diffs in your test code.

### Diffblue Cover is now generally available to individual developers and small teams.

We've [just launched](https://www.diffblue.com/resources/diffblue-cover-is-now-generally-available-to-individual-developers/) our Developer Edition license. From today, individual developers can leverage the power of AI they can trust for unit test generation and maintenance.

### Enhancements

* Plugin: Cover now provides a status bar widget which, when clicked, displays an overview of current license consumption and details. \[Ref: TG-22127]

### Resolved Issues

* Resolved an issue which, in some circustances, caused Cover to incorrectly insert `// Assert that nothing has changed` comments into tests. \[Ref: TG-22437]
* Plugin: Resolved an issue which could, in certain circumstances, display an error after clicking "Fix issue" for a small heap size in the Environment Checks window. \[Ref: TG-22400]
* CLI & Reports: Resolved an issue which caused `cumulativeDiffblueTestCount` and `cumulativeManualTestCount` to be incorrectly counted for TestNG projects. \[Ref: TG-22333]

### Known Issues

* Plugin: Cover incorrectly provides a menu option to write tests for a test file. \[Ref: TG-17163]
* Cover supports Open JDK and Oracle JDK; results with other JDKs may differ due to the variability in their implementations of Java. \[Ref: TG-19345]
* Reports: Cover only counts Java code towards the total line count metrics. Kotlin code is not currently included. \[Ref: TG-22088]
* Reports: Total lines of code metric can incorrectly count a multi-line comment at the end of a line of code, resulting in fewer than expected lines counted. \[Ref: TG-22089]
* Reports: Following an upgrade, the 'Total Lines of Code' card may show 0 until a new reports bundle has been uploaded. \[Ref: TG-22094]
* In some circumstances, Cover may write more simplistic tests with less meaningful assertions when Spring Boot dependency injection is disabled. \[Ref: TG-22102]
* In some circumstances, Cover will still write Spring Boot tests when Spring Boot dependency injection is disabled. \[Ref: TG-22103]
* Cover may write failing TestNG tests when Spring Boot dependency injection is disabled. \[Ref: TG-22107]
