Release Notes

GoogleTest will not accept patches of new features to the v1.17.x branch.
We recommend building GoogleTest from the latest commit instead.
Exceptional critical bug fixes may be considered.

C++ Language Support

• GoogleTest now requires at least C++17 and follows Google's Foundational C++ Support Policy. See this table for a list of currently supported versions compilers, platforms, and build tools.

Notable Changes

• Added a flag --gtest_fail_if_no_test_linked that will cause the program to fail if no test case is linked in (5450174)
• A DistanceFrom() matcher is available for general distance comparison (0bdccf4) and supports a user-defined abs() (4ee4b17)
