      • The toggle is CATCH_CONFIG_ANDROID_LOGWRITE
    • ➕ Added a generator that returns elements of a range
      • Use via from_range(from, to) or from_range(container)
    • ➕ Added support for CRTs that do not provide std::nextafter (#1739)
      • They must still provide global nextafter{f,l,}
