v1.8.2

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.
  • 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::strings 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).
