Version 5.0.0

02 Nov 2015

For detailed discussion on v5.0.0, see http://qualitycoding.org/ochamcrest-v5-0-0/

Features:

• Instead of enabling short syntax by defining HC_SHORTHAND, short syntax is now enabled by default.
  To disable it, #define HC_DISABLE_SHORT_SYNTAX.
• Matchers which take nil-terminated lists have "In" variants which take a single NSArray, like
  allOfIn. The matcher hasEntriesIn is an exception and takes an NSDictionary.
• Improved documentation on all matchers. Documentation is now shown for matchers with fixed numbers
  of arguments. All matchers provide argument hinting.

Renamed:

• Renamed long syntax for containsInRelativeOrder from prefix hc_ to HC_ to conform to other
  matchers.

Deleted:

• equalToBool matcher (deprecated in v4.1.0)
• containsString matcher (deprecated in v4.2.0)
• assertThatAfter/futureValueOf (deprecated in v4.2.0)
• HC_testFailureHandlerChain() (deprecated in v4.2.0)

Version 4.3.2

31 Oct 2015

Project changes:

• Enabling "Symbols hidden by default" in 4.3.1 was overkill, preventing people from using the
  prebuilt Mac framework.

Version 4.3.1

24 Oct 2015

Project changes:

• Remove debug symbols from Release configuration, which bloated the libraries and kept folks from
  using the prebuilt iOS framework.

Version 4.3.0

11 Oct 2015

Features:

• New matcher containsInRelativeOrder matches collections containing items in relative order.
• New matcher HCArgumentCaptor matches anything, capturing matched values.

Project changes:

• Updated project settings to Xcode 7, with tests now run by XCTest.

Version 4.2.0

11 Sep 2015

Fixes:

• Fixed "Incompatible pointer types sending 'Class' to parameter of type 'NSString *'" warning on
  instanceOf.

Features:

• Improved readability of asynchronous tests: assertWithTimeout(1, thatEventually(var), is(@10));
• Added ability to add custom test failure reporter. See HCTestFailureReporterChain.

Deprecated:

• Deprecated containsString; use containsSubstring instead. containsString clashes with an
  NSString method introduced in iOS 8.
• Deprecated assertThatAfter/futureValueOf. Use assertWithTimeout/thatEventually instead.
• Deprecated HC_testFailureHandlerChain(); use [HCTestFailureReporterChain reporterChain] instead.

Version 4.1.1

31 Dec 2014

• Oops! Add the new features to OCHamcrest.h

Version 4.1.0

30 Dec 2014

Fixes:

• Fix crash when OCHamcrest tries to describe an OCMockito mock object. Thanks to: Michael Seghers
• Fix crash when equalToBool attempts to match a non-number.

Features:

• assertThatAfter tests asynchronous code, retrying the assertion until a given timeout.
  Wrap the code you want to evaluate in futureValueOf. Thanks to: Sergio Padrino
• New matcher everyItem matches collections if every item satisfies a given matcher.
• New matcher throwsException matches a block if it throws an exception satisfying a given
  matcher.
• New matchers isTrue and isFalse match non-zero and zero NSNumbers. Intended to replace
  equalToBool.

Improvements:

• Added new base class HCDiagnosingMatcher to simplify complex matchers.
• equalToBool matcher can no longer be created with a value other than YES or NO. This especially
  avoids the accidental @yES.
• Improved ordered comparison matchers (greaterThan, etc.) so that when the given object can't be
  compared, the matchers return NO instead of throwing an exception.
• Improved mismatch descriptions for hasItem.
• Improved mismatch descriptions for hasProperty to show actual property value or "no property".
• Improved mismatch descriptions for onlyContains, especially in reporting all elements that don't
  match.
• Updated project to make it run-path dependent. Thanks to: csano

Deprecated:

• equalToBool deprecated in favor of isTrue and isFalse. equalToBool(YES) had too much
  potential for symantic error since any non-zero number evaluates to true.

Version 4.0.1

04 Jun 2014

Project changes:

• Increased deployment targets to OS X 10.8, iOS 6.0.

Version 4.0.0

10 May 2014

This is a refactoring release with potential backwards compatibility issues for writers of custom
matchers:

• Almost all ivars have been converted to hidden properties. Let me know if this trips you up.
• If you subclass HCInvocationMatcher for a custom matcher, the ivars have been renamed.
• If you import HCCollectMatchers.h for a custom matcher, change this to import HCCollect.h.
• HCTestFailureHandler has changed from a protocol to a class.

Also, if you're not using CocoaPods, specify -ObjC in your "Other Linker Flags".

Version 3.0.1

29 Oct 2013

Fixes:

• Fixed problem where isNot did not ask the sub-matcher's mismatch description. Thanks to: James
  Richard and Jonathan Barnes
• Fixed crash in describedAs matcher . Thanks to: Nikolaj Schumacher
• Fixed crash in hasProperty matcher when the property is a primitive type. Thanks to: Nikolaj
  Schumacher

Improvements:

• Changed matcher factory methods to return plain id so that matchers can be used without casting
  to (id) for OCMockito arguments.
• Added support for 64-bit iOS devices.

Examples & Documentation:

• Updated examples so they are based on Apple's templates for main target vs. test target. Added
  CocoaPods examples.
• Eliminated DocSet. Documentation will be in the main README and in the OCHamcrest wiki,
  https://github.com/hamcrest/OCHamcrest/wiki/_pages

Version 3.0.0

06 Sep 2013

Features:

• Added support for XCTest. Special thanks to Jiajun "gaosboy" for pointing the way, and to Richard
  Clem for testing.
• Made unit test integration more flexible with HC_testFailureHandlerChain. It can be called from
  outside OCHamcrest to signal a test failure within the current testing framework. (At present it
  tries XCTest, then SenTestCase, then falls back on raising a generic exception.)

Deleted:

• HCRequireNonNilString.h (deprecated in v1.2)
• empty matcher (deprecated in v2.1.0)
