This is a preview release for the changes in the next (v3) major version. The biggest change is that Catch2 is now primarily provided as a static library. Use Catch2Main or Catch2 CMake targets to link against it.

(Potentially) Breaking changes

• ANON_TEST_CASE has been removed, use TEST_CASE with no arguments instead (#1220)
• --list* commands no longer have non-zero return code (#1410)
• --list-test-names-only has been removed (#1190)
  • You should use verbosity-modifiers for --list-tests instead
• --list* commands are now piped through the reporters
  • The top-level reporter interface provides default implementation that works just as the old one
  • XmlReporter outputs a machine-parseable XML
• TEST_CASE description support has been removed
  • If the second argument has text outside tags, the text will be ignored.
• Hidden test cases are no longer included just because they don't match an exclusion tag
  • Previously, a TEST_CASE("A", "[.foo]") would be included by asking for ~[bar].
• PredicateMatcher is no longer type erased.
  • This means that the type of the provided predicate is part of the PredicateMatcher's type
• SectionInfo no longer contains section description as a member (#1319)
  • You can still write SECTION("ShortName", "Long and wordy description"), but the description is thrown away
  • The description type now must be a const char* or implicitly convertible to it

Fixes

• The INFO macro no longer contains superfluous semicolon (#1456)
• The --list* family of command line flags now return 0 on success (#1410, #1146)
