To build Google Test and your tests that use it, you need to tell your
build system where to find its headers and source files. The exact
way to do it depends on which build system you use, and is usually
straightforward.

-### Upgrating from an Earlier Version ###
-
-We strive to keep Google Test releases backward compatible.
-Sometimes, though, we have to make some breaking changes for the
-users' long-term benefits. This section describes what you'll need to
-do if you are upgrading from an earlier version of Google Test.
-
-### Upgrading from 1.3.0 or Earlier ###
-
-You may need to explicitly enable or disable Google Test's own TR1
-tuple library. See the instructions in section "Choosing a TR1 Tuple
-Library".
-
-### Upgrading from 1.4.0 or Earlier ###
-
-The Autotools build script (configure + make) is no longer officially
-supportted. You are encouraged to migrate to your own build system or
-use CMake. If you still need to use Autotools, you can find
-instructions in the README file from Google Test 1.4.0.
-
-On platforms where the pthread library is available, Google Test uses
-it in order to be thread-safe. See the "Multi-threaded Tests" section
-for what this means to your build script.
-
-If you use Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 with exceptions disabled, Google
-Test will no longer compile. This should affect very few people, as a
-large portion of STL (including <string>) doesn't compile in this mode
-anyway. We decided to stop supporting it in order to greatly simplify
-Google Test's implementation.
