+Enhancements
+===========================
+
+Improved Converage to use it in real live (`#3927`_)
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Code coverage logging that was introduced in 19.0.0 was improved to be more useful in real live.
+We improved the way how top define the path where the coverage reports are stored. See docs.
+
+Also we introduced an automatic saving of the coverage report when the page or context is closed.
+This works as well with auto-closing of pages and contexts.
+
+
+Regression Bug fixes
+===========================
+
+- Wait For keyword raise exception for wrong data type (`#3922`_)
+- rfbrowser logs errors when running robotframework with --dryrun argument (`#3915`_)
