Catch2 compatibility means the API tests are written in: the macros, such
as TEST_CASE and REQUIRE, and the Catch:: namespace. It does not mean
Catch2's build names or header paths. find_package(Catch2) found Catch3,
and a project using both frameworks met two packages, two sets of targets,
two Catch.cmake modules and two catch2/ header trees with the same names.

Build names:
- CMake: project and package Catch3, targets Catch3::Catch3 and
  Catch3::Catch3WithMain, libraries Catch3 and Catch3Main, options
  CATCH3_*, lib/cmake/Catch3 with Catch3Config, and pkg-config catch3 and
  catch3-with-main. The version is Catch3's, 0.3.0, compatible within a
  minor version.
- The CMake scripts are Catch3.cmake (catch3_discover_tests),
  Catch3AddTests.cmake and Catch3ShardTests.cmake
  (catch3_add_sharded_tests); the helpers they define at ctest time have a
  catch3_ prefix. ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake, deprecated upstream, is gone.
- Bazel //:catch3 and //:catch3_main, Meson catch3 and catch3-with-main
  (with override_dependency), Xmake catch3 and catch3_main, Premake Catch3
  and Catch3WithMain. Visual Studio projects get GUIDs of their own.
- The Progmasoft::Catch3 target and package are gone: property testing
  and snapshots are part of Catch3::Catch3. Their sources now build with
  the library's warning flags, so property failures are built field by
  field (no missing initializers) and the default property name is a
  thread-local pointer to the name its scope owns (no global destructor).

Headers: the engine moved from src/catch2 to src/Progmasoft/Catch3 with
Progmasoft names, so &lt;catch2/catch_test_macros.hpp&gt; is
&lt;Progmasoft/Catch3/TestMacros.hpp&gt;, &lt;catch2/matchers/catch_matchers_string.hpp&gt;
is &lt;Progmasoft/Catch3/Matchers/String.hpp&gt;, and interface headers are named
after their interface, such as Interfaces/IConfig.hpp. Include guards
became #pragma once. The installed headers go to include/Progmasoft.
src/Progmasoft/Context.cpp is StrategyContext.cpp, so no two sources share
a file name.

tools/scripts/upstreamFiles.txt lists the files that come from Catch2.
The license check expects BSL-1.0 on them and Progmasoft's header on the
rest of src/Progmasoft; the convenience-header check, the amalgamation
script and the surrogate tests take the engine's headers from it. The
amalgamated files are regenerated. The header-guard workflow checks for
#pragma once instead of checkguard.

Documents, the README and the release notes describe the new names.

<title>Build on the platforms the Visual X# compiler builds on</title>

The compiler that uses this framework first is built and tested on
Windows with the Visual Studio 2026 image, macOS 15 and 26, Ubuntu 26.04
and Fedora 43. This repository was tested on Windows Server 2022 and
2025, macOS 14, 15 and 15 on Intel, and on no Linux at all.

The Windows builds move to the windows-2025-vs2026 image, in the basic
builds and in the Xmake, Bazel and Meson builds. The macOS builds and
the sanitizer builds run on macos-15 and macos-26. A new workflow builds
and tests on Ubuntu 26.04 and, in a container, on Fedora 43, with Clang,
as C++14 and C++17, Debug and Release.

Two jobs stay on windows-2022: the Premake job generates Visual Studio
2022 projects, and the Conan job names the Visual Studio 17 generator
and the v144 runtime. Moving them means moving those tools to Visual
Studio 2026, which is a change of its own.

* Fixed problem with older compilers by explicitly installing the
  right compiler version.
* Split apart simple builds that can be well described by a build
  matrix, and builds that need special CMake defines or similar
  special snowflake handling.
* Ported some extras + examples builds from TravisCI to GitHub
  Actions.
