@ -123,19 +123,35 @@ new design.
* `EventListenerBase` now directly derives from `IStreamingReporter`, instead of deriving from `StreamingReporterBase`
* `GENERATE` decays its arguments (#2012, #2040)
* This means that `str` in `auto str = GENERATE("aa", "bb", "cc");` is inferred to `char const*` rather than `const char[2]`.
* `--list-*` flags write their output to file specified by the `-o` flag
### Improvements
* Matchers have been extended with the ability to use different signatures of `match` (#1307, #1553, #1554, #1843)
* This includes having templated `match` member function
* See the [rewritten Matchers documentation](matchers.md#top) for details
* Catch2 currently provides _some_ generic matchers, but there should be more before final release of v3
* So far, `IsEmpty`, `SizeIs`, and `Contains` are provided.
* At least `ElementsAre` and `UnorderedElementsAre` are planned.
* Some runtime performance improvements
* `IsEmpty`, `SizeIs` which check that the range has specific properties
* `Contains`, which checks whether a range contains a specific element
* `AllMatch`, `AnyMatch`, `NoneMatch` range matchers, which apply matchers over a range of elements
* Significant compilation time improvements
* including `catch_test_macros.hpp` is 80% cheaper than including `catch.hpp`
* Some runtime performance optimizations
* In all tested cases the v3 branch was faster, so the table below shows the speedup of v3 to v2 at the same task

* POSIX platforms use `gmtime_r`, rather than `gmtime` when constructing a date string (#2008, #2165)
* `--list-*` flags write their output to file specified by the `-o` flag (#2061, #2163)
### Fixes
* The `INFO` macro no longer contains superfluous semicolon (#1456)
