## Catch2 is released!

If you've been using an earlier version of Catch, please see the

Breaking Changes section of [the release notes](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/releases/tag/v2.0.1)

before moving to Catch2. You might also like to read [this blog post](http://www.levelofindirection.com/journal/2017/11/3/catch2-released.html) for more details.

## What's the Catch?

Catch2 stands for C++ Automated Test Cases in a Header and is a

multi-paradigm test framework for C++. which also supports Objective-C

(and maybe C).

It is primarily distributed as a single header file, although certain

extensions may require additional headers.
