Exceptional critical bug fixes may be considered.

C++ Language Support

  • This will be the last release to support C++11. Future releases will require at least C++14.

Mocking

  • Support for move-only values to Return (5126f71)

Matchers

  • New matchers
  • ResultOf() now has a 3-arg overload that takes a description string for better error messages (0e40217)

Build & Test

  • CMake minimum increased to 3.5
  • Bazel users that build GoogleTest using the Abseil library as a dependency now also require a dependency on RE2 (e33c2b2)
  • Bazel users that build GoogleTest using the Abseil library now use the Abseil library to parse all command-line flags (25dcdc7)

Misc

v1.10.0

Release 1.10.0
1.10.0 Release reflects a current version of the project.
The 1.10.x will not consider any requests for any new features, The bug fix requests will only be considered if proven "critical"

High Level Changes:
This release deprecated "....TEST_CASE" API in favor of "....TEST_SUITE". In a nutshell if you have code that uses something like "INSTANTIATE_TYPED_TEST_CASE_P " - this and all other "*_TEST_CASE " are now deprecated in favor of more standard _TEST_SUITE. See https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/docs/primer.md#beware-of-the-nomenclature.

There is also new powerful MOCK_METHOD macro. See https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/72adf7a4155b6642da1e6761678fe546590c0269/googlemock/docs/cook_book.md#creating-mock-classes. This replaces older way of mocking.
For example
(Old) MOCK_METHOD1(Bar, double(std::string s));
(New) MOCK_METHOD(double, Bar, (std::string s), (override));
So there is no need to count the parameters anymore.
