Release Notes

GoogleTest will not accept patches of new features to v1.12.0.
We recommend building GoogleTest from the latest commit instead.
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
  • WhenBase64Unescaped (652ec31)
• 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)
