# 1.12.2 ### Fixes * Fixed missing include # 1.12.1 ### Fixes * Fixed deprecation warning in `ScopedMessage::~ScopedMessage` * All uses of `min` or `max` identifiers are now wrapped in parentheses * This avoids problems when Windows headers define `min` and `max` macros # 1.12.0 ### Fixes * Fixed compilation for strict C++98 mode (ie not gnu++98) and older compilers (#1103) * `INFO` messages are included in the `xml` reporter output even without `-s` specified. # 1.11.0 ### Fixes * The original expression in `REQUIRE_FALSE( expr )` is now reporter properly as `!( expr )` (#1051) * Previously the parentheses were missing and `x != y` would be expanded as `!x != x` * `Approx::Margin` is now inclusive (#952) * Previously it was meant and documented as inclusive, but the check itself wasn't * This means that `REQUIRE( 0.25f == Approx( 0.0f ).margin( 0.25f ) )` passes, instead of fails * `RandomNumberGenerator::result_type` is now unsigned (#1050) ### Improvements * `__JETBRAINS_IDE__` macro handling is now CLion version specific (#1017) * When CLion 2017.3 or newer is detected, `__COUNTER__` is used instead of * TeamCity reporter now explicitly flushes output stream after each report (#1057) * On some platforms, output from redirected streams would show up only after the tests finished running * `ParseAndAddCatchTests` now can add test files as dependency to CMake configuration * This means you do not have to manually rerun CMake configuration step to detect new tests # 1.10.0 ### Fixes * Evaluation layer has been rewritten (backported from Catch 2) * The new layer is much simpler and fixes some issues (#981) * Implemented workaround for VS 2017 raw string literal stringification bug (#995) * Fixed interaction between `[!shouldfail]` and `[!mayfail]` tags and sections * Previously sections with failing assertions would be marked as failed, not failed-but-ok ### Improvements * Added [libidentify](https://github.com/janwilmans/LibIdentify) support * Added "wait-for-keypress" option # 1.9.7 ### Fixes * Various warnings from clang-tidy, Resharper-C++ and PVS Studio have been addressed (#957) * Dynamically generated sections are now properly reported (#963) * Writes to `std::clog` are redirected for reporters (#989) * Previously only `std::cerr` writes were redirected * Interleaved writes to `std::cerr` and `std::clog` are combined properly * Assertions failed before signals/structured exceptions fails test case are properly reported as failed (#990) ### Improvements * Catch's runtime overhead has been decreased further (#940) * Added support for IBM i ILE c++ compiler (#976) * This means that AS/400 is now supported. * The default reporter can be configured at compile time (#978) * That is, the reporter used if no reporter is explicitly specified ### Other * `ParseAndAddCatchTests` cmake script has couple new customization options # 1.9.6 ### Improvements * Catch's runtime overhead has been significantly decreased (#937, #939) * Added `--list-extra-info` cli option (#934). * It lists all tests together with extra information, ie filename, line number and description. # 1.9.5 ### Fixes * Truthy expressions are now reconstructed properly, not as booleans (#914) * Various warnings are no longer erroneously suppressed in test files (files that include `catch.hpp`, but do not define `CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN` or `CATCH_CONFIG_RUNNER`) (#871) * Catch no longer fails to link when main is compiled as C++, but linked against Objective-C (#855) * Fixed incorrect gcc version detection when deciding to use `__COUNTER__` (#928) * Previously any GCC with minor version less than 3 would be incorrectly classified as not supporting `__COUNTER__`. * Suppressed C4996 warning caused by upcoming updated to MSVC 2017, marking `std::uncaught_exception` as deprecated. (#927) ### Improvements * CMake integration script now incorporates debug messages and registers tests in an improved way (#911) * Various documentation improvements # 1.9.4 ### Fixes * `CATCH_FAIL` macro no longer causes compilation error without variadic macro support * `INFO` messages are no longer cleared after being reported once ### Improvements and minor changes * Catch now uses `wmain` when compiled under Windows and `UNICODE` is defined. * Note that Catch still officially supports only ASCII # 1.9.3 ### Fixes * Completed the fix for (lack of) uint64_t in earlier Visual Studios # 1.9.2 ### Improvements and minor changes * All of `Approx`'s member functions now accept strong typedefs in C++11 mode (#888) * Previously `Approx::scale`, `Approx::epsilon`, `Approx::margin` and `Approx::operator()` didn't. ### Fixes * POSIX signals are now disabled by default under QNX (#889) * QNX does not support current enough (2001) POSIX specification * JUnit no longer counts exceptions as failures if given test case is marked as ok to fail. * `Catch::Option` should now have its storage properly aligned. * Catch no longer attempts to define `uint64_t` on windows (#862) * This was causing trouble when compiled under Cygwin ### Other * Catch is now compiled under MSVC 2017 using `std:c++latest` (C++17 mode) in CI * We now provide cmake script that autoregisters Catch tests into ctest. * See `contrib` folder. # 1.9.1 ### Fixes * Unexpected exceptions are no longer ignored by default (#885, #887) # 1.9.0 ### Improvements and minor changes * Catch no longer attempts to ensure the exception type passed by user in `REQUIRE_THROWS_AS` is a constant reference. * It was causing trouble when `REQUIRE_THROWS_AS` was used inside templated functions * This actually reverts changes made in v1.7.2 * Catch's `Version` struct should no longer be double freed when multiple instances of Catch tests are loaded into single program (#858) * It is now a static variable in an inline function instead of being an `extern`ed struct. * Attempt to register invalid tag or tag alias now throws instead of calling `exit()`. * Because this happen before entering main, it still aborts execution * Further improvements to this are coming * `CATCH_CONFIG_FAST_COMPILE` now speeds-up compilation of `REQUIRE*` assertions by further ~15%. * The trade-off is disabling translation of unexpected exceptions into text. * When Catch is compiled using C++11, `Approx` is now constructible with anything that can be explicitly converted to `double`. * Captured messages are now printed on unexpected exceptions ### Fixes: * Clang's `-Wexit-time-destructors` should be suppressed for Catch's internals * GCC's `-Wparentheses` is now suppressed for all TU's that include `catch.hpp`. * This is functionally a revert of changes made in 1.8.0, where we tried using `_Pragma` based suppression. This should have kept the suppression local to Catch's assertions, but bugs in GCC's handling of `_Pragma`s in C++ mode meant that it did not always work. * You can now tell Catch to use C++11-based check when checking whether a type can be streamed to output. * This fixes cases when an unstreamable type has streamable private base (#877) * [Details can be found in documentation](configuration.md#catch_config_cpp11_stream_insertable_check) ### Other notes: * We have added VS 2017 to our CI * Work on Catch 2 should start soon # 1.8.2 ### Improvements and minor changes * TAP reporter now behaves as if `-s` was always set * This should be more consistent with the protocol desired behaviour. * Compact reporter now obeys `-d yes` argument (#780) * The format is "XXX.123 s: " (3 decimal places are always present). * Before it did not report the durations at all. * XML reporter now behaves the same way as Console reporter in regards to `INFO` * This means it reports `INFO` messages on success, if output on success (`-s`) is enabled. * Previously it only reported `INFO` messages on failure. * `CAPTURE(expr)` now stringifies `expr` in the same way assertion macros do (#639) * Listeners are now finally [documented](event-listeners.md). * Listeners provide a way to hook into events generated by running your tests, including start and end of run, every test case, every section and every assertion. ### Fixes: * Catch no longer attempts to reconstruct expression that led to a fatal error (#810) * This fixes possible signal/SEH loop when processing expressions, where the signal was triggered by expression decomposition. * Fixed (C4265) missing virtual destructor warning in Matchers (#844) * `std::string`s are now taken by `const&` everywhere (#842). * Previously some places were taking them by-value. * Catch should no longer change errno (#835). * This was caused by libstdc++ bug that we now work around. * Catch now provides `FAIL_CHECK( ... )` macro (#765). * Same as `FAIL( ... )`, but does not abort the test. * Functions like `fabs`, `tolower`, `memset`, `isalnum` are now used with `std::` qualification (#543). * Clara no longer assumes first argument (binary name) is always present (#729) * If it is missing, empty string is used as default. * Clara no longer reads 1 character past argument string (#830) * Regression in Objective-C bindings (Matchers) fixed (#854) ### Other notes: * We have added VS 2013 and 2015 to our CI * Catch Classic (1.x.x) now contains its own, forked, version of Clara (the argument parser). # 1.8.1 ### Fixes Cygwin issue with `gettimeofday` - `#define` was not early enough # 1.8.0 ### New features/ minor changes * Matchers have new, simpler (and documented) interface. * Catch provides string and vector matchers. * For details see [Matchers documentation](matchers.md). * Changed console reporter test duration reporting format (#322) * Old format: `Some simple comparisons between doubles completed in 0.000123s` * New format: `xxx.123s: Some simple comparisons between doubles` _(There will always be exactly 3 decimal places)_ * Added opt-in leak detection under MSVC + Windows (#439) * Enable it by compiling Catch's main with `CATCH_CONFIG_WINDOWS_CRTDBG` * Introduced new compile-time flag, `CATCH_CONFIG_FAST_COMPILE`, trading features for compilation speed. * Moves debug breaks out of tests and into implementation, speeding up test compilation time (~10% on linux). * _More changes are coming_ * Added [TAP (Test Anything Protocol)](https://testanything.org/) and [Automake](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Log-files-generation-and-test-results-recording.html#Log-files-generation-and-test-results-recording) reporters. * These are not present in the default single-include header and need to be downloaded from GitHub separately. * For details see [documentation about integrating with build systems](build-systems.md). * XML reporter now reports filename as part of the `Section` and `TestCase` tags. * `Approx` now supports an optional margin of absolute error * It has also received [new documentation](assertions.md). ### Fixes * Silenced C4312 ("conversion from int to 'ClassName *") warnings in the evaluate layer. * Fixed C4512 ("assignment operator could not be generated") warnings under VS2013. * Cygwin compatibility fixes * Signal handling is no longer compiled by default. * Usage of `gettimeofday` inside Catch should no longer cause compilation errors. * Improved `-Wparentheses` supression for gcc (#674) * When compiled with gcc 4.8 or newer, the supression is localized to assertions only * Otherwise it is supressed for the whole TU * Fixed test spec parser issue (with escapes in multiple names) ### Other * Various documentation fixes and improvements # 1.7.2 ### Fixes and minor improvements Xml: (technically the first two are breaking changes but are also fixes and arguably break few if any people) * C-escape control characters instead of XML encoding them (which requires XML 1.1) * Revert XML output to XML 1.0 * Can provide stylesheet references by extending the XML reporter * Added description and tags attribites to XML Reporter * Tags are closed and the stream flushed more eagerly to avoid stdout interpolation Other: * `REQUIRE_THROWS_AS` now catches exception by `const&` and reports expected type * In `SECTION`s the file/ line is now of the `SECTION`. not the `TEST_CASE` * Added std:: qualification to some functions from C stdlib * Removed use of RTTI (`dynamic_cast`) that had crept back in * Silenced a few more warnings in different circumstances * Travis improvements # 1.7.1 ### Fixes: * Fixed inconsistency in defining `NOMINMAX` and `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` inside `catch.hpp`. * Fixed SEH-related compilation error under older MinGW compilers, by making Windows SEH handling opt-in for compilers other than MSVC. * For specifics, look into the [documentation](configuration.md). * Fixed compilation error under MinGW caused by improper compiler detection. * Fixed XML reporter sometimes leaving an empty output file when a test ends with signal/structured exception. * Fixed XML reporter not reporting captured stdout/stderr. * Fixed possible infinite recursion in Windows SEH. * Fixed possible compilation error caused by Catch's operator overloads being ambiguous in regards to user-defined templated operators. ## 1.7.0 ### Features/ Changes: * Catch now runs significantly faster for passing tests * Microbenchmark focused on Catch's overhead went from ~3.4s to ~0.7s. * Real world test using [JSON for Modern C++](https://github.com/nlohmann/json)'s test suite went from ~6m 25s to ~4m 14s. * Catch can now run specific sections within test cases. * For now the support is only basic (no wildcards or tags), for details see the [documentation](command-line.md). * Catch now supports SEH on Windows as well as signals on Linux. * After receiving a signal, Catch reports failing assertion and then passes the signal onto the previous handler. * Approx can be used to compare values against strong typedefs (available in C++11 mode only). * Strong typedefs mean types that are explicitly convertible to double. * CHECK macro no longer stops executing section if an exception happens. * Certain characters (space, tab, etc) are now pretty printed. * This means that a `char c = ' '; REQUIRE(c == '\t');` would be printed as `' ' == '\t'`, instead of ` == 9`. ### Fixes: * Text formatting no longer attempts to access out-of-bounds characters under certain conditions. * THROW family of assertions no longer trigger `-Wunused-value` on expressions containing explicit cast. * Breaking into debugger under OS X works again and no longer required `DEBUG` to be defined. * Compilation no longer breaks under certain compiler if a lambda is used inside assertion macro. ### Other: * Catch's CMakeLists now defines install command. * Catch's CMakeLists now generates projects with warnings enabled. ## 1.6.1 ### Features/ Changes: * Catch now supports breaking into debugger on Linux ### Fixes: * Generators no longer leak memory (generators are still unsupported in general) * JUnit reporter now reports UTC timestamps, instead of "tbd" * `CHECK_THAT` macro is now properly defined as `CATCH_CHECK_THAT` when using `CATCH_` prefixed macros ### Other: * Types with overloaded `&&` operator are no longer evaluated twice when used in an assertion macro. * The use of `__COUNTER__` is supressed when Catch is parsed by CLion * This change is not active when compiling a binary * Approval tests can now be run on Windows * CMake will now warn if a file is present in the `include` folder but not is not enumerated as part of the project * Catch now defines `NOMINMAX` and `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` before including `windows.h` * This can be disabled if needed, see [documentation](configuration.md) for details. ## 1.6.0 ### Cmake/ projects: * Moved CMakeLists.txt to root, made it friendlier for CLion and generating XCode and VS projects, and removed the manually maintained XCode and VS projects. ### Features/ Changes: * Approx now supports `>=` and `<=` * Can now use `\` to escape chars in test names on command line * Standardize C++11 feature toggles ### Fixes: * Blue shell colour * Missing argument to `CATCH_CHECK_THROWS` * Don't encode extended ASCII in XML * use `std::shuffle` on more compilers (fixes deprecation warning/error) * Use `__COUNTER__` more consistently (where available) ### Other: * Tweaks and changes to scripts - particularly for Approval test - to make them more portable # Older versions Release notes were not maintained prior to v1.6.0, but you should be able to work them out from the Git history --- [Home](Readme.md)
