Catch2 now behaves as a normal +library, with multiple headers and separately compiled implementation. + +The documentation is slowly being updated to take these changes into +account, but this work is currently still ongoing. + +For migrating from the v2 releases to v3, you should look at [our +documentation](docs/migrate-v2-to-v3.md#top). It provides a simple +guidelines on getting started, and collects most common migration +problems. + +For the previous major version of Catch2 [look into the `v2.x` branch +here on GitHub](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/tree/v2.x). + + +## How to use it +This documentation comprises these three parts: + +* [Why do we need yet another C++ Test Framework?](docs/why-catch.md#top) +* [Tutorial](docs/tutorial.md#top) - getting started +* [Reference section](docs/Readme.md#top) - all the details + + +## More +* Issues and bugs can be raised on the [Issue tracker on GitHub](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/issues) +* For discussion or questions please use [our Discord](https://discord.gg/4CWS9zD) +* See who else is using Catch2 in [Open Source Software](docs/opensource-users.md#top) +or [commercially](docs/commercial-users.md#top). |
