The review had gone through, and had created the package, then retired it, but as the APIs are different, and this also applies to another package I have under review, mbedTLS, wanted to know if there are general guidelines on this. For Catch, there was an upgrade from 1 to 2. Similarly for FFTW, the main package uses the name FFTW, but it was FFTW3 before hand. Maybe one could use Catch3 or Catch2v3? Then change names later once more packages use the v3 interface?
