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>Allow using only types in `TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE_SIG`. (#2995)</title>
<updated>2025-07-08T12:26:25+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.progmasoft.com/catch3/commit/?id=2de12cb05f1e54fc2a8f7a894f2a435297295efa'/>
<id>2de12cb05f1e54fc2a8f7a894f2a435297295efa</id>
<content type='text'>
Right now `TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE_SIG` fails to compile when the signature contains only types:

```
TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE_SIG(
  "TemplateTestSig: compiles with two type parameters",
  "[template][onlytypes]",
  ((typename U, typename V), U, V), (int,int)) {}
```

The trick is to resolve the ambiguity between the two overloads of
`get_wrapper` (`TypeList` and `Nttp`) by making one match more strongly.
We also need to allow `reg_test` to register more than one type.

Add unit tests.

Fixes #2680

Catch2 has long since required a standard newer than C++98 so we
can safely ignore any warnings related to such old standards.

<title>Assert Info reset need to also reset result disposition to normal to handle uncaught exception correctly (#2723)</title>

* AssertionEnd does not reset the assertion info yet. That is done after populateReaction. And reset assertion info would also reset the result disposition to normal, so that any uncaught exception would be reported as failure

* Approving test output changes due to added unit tests

* Unit tests to throw std::runtime_error instead of std::exception

* Add a unit test to test incomplete assertion handler

MinGW doesn't support `__try` and friends at all, while Clang
only supports it partially, and the test would require some
changes to make it work there. Since this is only a test, we can
afford to keep it MSVC-only.
