## 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.

## 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
