[Abseil Live at Head philosophy](https://abseil.io/about/philosophy#upgrade-support).
We recommend
[updating to the latest commit in the `main` branch as often as possible](https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/blob/master/FAQ.md#what-is-live-at-head-and-how-do-i-do-it).
+We do publish occasional semantic versions, tagged with
+`v${major}.${minor}.${patch}` (e.g. `v1.13.0`).
#### Documentation Updates
https://google.github.io/googletest/. We recommend browsing the documentation on
GitHub Pages rather than directly in the repository.
-#### Release 1.11.0
+#### Release 1.13.0
-[Release 1.11.0](https://github.com/google/googletest/releases/tag/release-1.11.0)
-is now available.
+[Release 1.13.0](https://github.com/google/googletest/releases/tag/v1.13.0) is
+now available.
+
+The 1.13.x branch requires at least C++14.
+
+#### Continuous Integration
+
+We use Google's internal systems for continuous integration. \
+GitHub Actions were added for the convenience of open-source contributors. They
+are exclusively maintained by the open-source community and not used by the
+GoogleTest team.
#### Coming Soon
## Features
-* An [xUnit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit) test framework.
-* Test discovery.
-* A rich set of assertions.
-* User-defined assertions.
-* Death tests.
-* Fatal and non-fatal failures.
-* Value-parameterized tests.
-* Type-parameterized tests.
-* Various options for running the tests.
-* XML test report generation.
+* xUnit test framework: \
+ Googletest is based on the [xUnit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit)
+ testing framework, a popular architecture for unit testing
+* Test discovery: \
+ Googletest automatically discovers and runs your tests, eliminating the need
+ to manually register your tests
+* Rich set of assertions: \
+ Googletest provides a variety of assertions, such as equality, inequality,
+ exceptions, and more, making it easy to test your code
+* User-defined assertions: \
+ You can define your own assertions with Googletest, making it simple to
+ write tests that are specific to your code
+* Death tests: \
+ Googletest supports death tests, which verify that your code exits in a
+ certain way, making it useful for testing error-handling code
+* Fatal and non-fatal failures: \
+ You can specify whether a test failure should be treated as fatal or
+ non-fatal with Googletest, allowing tests to continue running even if a
+ failure occurs
+* Value-parameterized tests: \
+ Googletest supports value-parameterized tests, which run multiple times with
+ different input values, making it useful for testing functions that take
+ different inputs
+* Type-parameterized tests: \
+ Googletest also supports type-parameterized tests, which run with different
+ data types, making it useful for testing functions that work with different
+ data types
+* Various options for running tests: \
+ Googletest provides many options for running tests including running
+ individual tests, running tests in a specific order and running tests in
+ parallel
