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>Support for constexpr matchers in C++20 (P0784)</title>
<updated>2026-05-12T09:05:02+00:00</updated>

To make this all work, I had to remove the stringification cache
from matchers. In theory, this can cause performance penalty in
cases where single matcher instance is stringified multiple times,
but in practice this does not happen much, and the difference is
surprisingly small anyway, because the performance of stringification
is already horrible and full of allocating strings just to throw
them away.

The matcher combinators need P2738 from C++26 to be `constexpr`.

Closes #3091

<title>TEST_CASE_PERSISTENT_FIXTURE: A new fixture macro for allowing persistent fixtures throughout a TEST_CASE (#2885)</title>
<updated>2024-08-05T15:01:41+00:00</updated>

<id>f7cd0ba0511b61592e70f07533d7ea30a8a5395d</id>
<content type='text'>
This PR introduces a new `TEST_CASE` macro called `TEST_CASE_PERSISTENT_FIXTURE`. `TEST_CASE_PERSISTENT_FIXTURE` offers the same functionality as `TEST_CASE_METHOD` except for one difference. The object on which the test method is invoked is only created once for all invocations of the test case. The object is created just after the `testCaseStarting` event is broadcast and the object is destroyed just before the `testCaseEnding` event is broadcast.

The main motivation for this new functionality is to allow `TEST_CASE`s to do expensive setup and teardown once per `TEST_CASE`, without having to resort to abusing event listeners or static function variables with manual initialization.


Implements #1602

<title>Add variadic CAPTURE tests</title>

This makes sure that CAPTURE works when called with variadic arguments,
and also works that way when disabled.

The underlying fix to #2316 is not applicable (CAPTURE is already
variadic when disabled).

This is a port of 5e94498ed04820b1022f0bead0f7d4d5fb7a06dd to the
devel branch.
