+# Deprecations and incoming changes
+
+This page documents current deprecations and upcoming planned changes
+inside Catch2. The difference between these is that a deprecated feature
+will be removed, while a planned change to a feature means that the
+feature will behave differently, but will still be present. Obviously,
+either of these is a breaking change, and thus will not happen until
+at least the next major release.
+
+
+### `ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake`
+
+The CMake/CTest integration using `ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake` is deprecated,
+as it can be replaced by `Catch.cmake` that provides the function
+`catch_discover_tests` to get tests directly from a CMake target via the
+command line interface instead of parsing C++ code with regular expressions.
+
+
+### `CATCH_CONFIG_BAZEL_SUPPORT`
+
+Catch2 supports writing the Bazel JUnit XML output file when it is aware
+that is within a bazel testing environment. Originally there was no way
+to accurately probe the environment for this information so the flag
+`CATCH_CONFIG_BAZEL_SUPPORT` was added. This now deprecated. Bazel has now had a change
+where it will export `BAZEL_TEST=1` for purposes like the above. Catch2
+will now instead inspect the environment instead of relying on build configuration.
+
+### `IEventLister::skipTest( TestCaseInfo const& testInfo )`
+
+This event (including implementations in derived classes such as `ReporterBase`)
+is deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. It is currently
+invoked for all test cases that are not going to be executed due to the test run
+being aborted (when using `--abort` or `--abortx`). It is however
+**NOT** invoked for test cases that are [explicitly skipped using the `SKIP`
+macro](skipping-passing-failing.md#top).
+
+
+### Non-const function for `TEST_CASE_METHOD`
+
+> Deprecated in Catch2 vX.Y.Z
+
+Currently, the member function generated for `TEST_CASE_METHOD` is
+not `const` qualified. In the future, the generated member function will
+be `const` qualified, just as `TEST_CASE_PERSISTENT_FIXTURE` does.
+
+If you are mutating the fixture instance from within the test case, and
+want to keep doing so in the future, mark the mutated members as `mutable`.
