When using - the :generator:`Xcode` generator with Xcode 6.1 or higher, one may enable - the ``Swift`` language with the :command:`enable_language` command or the - :command:`project` command (this is an error with other generators or when - Xcode is too old). Then one may list ``.swift`` source files in targets - for compilation. - -Commands --------- - -* The :command:`find_program` command learned a ``NAMES_PER_DIR`` - option to consider all given ``NAMES`` in each directory before - moving on to the next directory. - -* The :command:`get_filename_component` command learned a new ``BASE_DIR`` - subcommand. This is used to specify a base directory when calculating an - absolute path from a relative path. - -* The :command:`if` command learned a new ``TEST`` operator that evaluates - to true if a given test name has been defined by the :command:`add_test` - command. See policy :policy:`CMP0064`. - -* The :command:`install(DIRECTORY)` command ``DESTINATION`` option learned to - support :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`. - -* The :command:`install(FILES)` command ``DESTINATION`` option learned to - support :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`. - -* The :command:`string` command learned a new ``APPEND`` subcommand. - -Variables ---------- - -* The :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator - learned to add compiler launcher tools like distcc and ccache along - with the compiler for ``C`` and ``CXX`` languages. See the - :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` variable and - :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` target property for details. - -* New :variable:`CMAKE_LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC` and - :variable:`CMAKE_LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC` variables were - introduced to initialize the - :prop_tgt:`LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC` and - :prop_tgt:`LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC` target properties, - respectively. - -Properties ----------- - -* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` learned to support additonal - target properties to customize projects for NVIDIA Nsight - Tegra Visual Studio Edition: - - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_ANT_ADDITIONAL_OPTIONS` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_ARCH` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_ASSETS_DIRECTORIES` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_JAR_DEPENDENCIES` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_JAR_DIRECTORIES` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_JAVA_SOURCE_DIR` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_NATIVE_LIB_DEPENDENCIES` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_NATIVE_LIB_DIRECTORIES` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_PROCESS_MAX` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_PROGUARD` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_PROGUARD_CONFIG_PATH` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_SECURE_PROPS_PATH` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_SKIP_ANT_STEP` - * :prop_tgt:`ANDROID_STL_TYPE` - -* The :prop_tgt:`ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`, - :prop_tgt:`LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`, and - :prop_tgt:`RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` target properties learned to - support :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`. - -* The :prop_tgt:`SOURCE_DIR` and :prop_tgt:`BINARY_DIR` target properties - were introduced to allow project code to query where a target is defined. - -* The :prop_tgt:`OUTPUT_NAME` target property and its variants learned to - support :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`. - -* A :prop_gbl:`TARGET_MESSAGES` global property was added to tell the - :ref:`Makefile Generators` whether to generate commands to print output - after each target is completed. - -* On Windows with MS-compatible tools, CMake learned to optionally - generate a module definition (``.def``) file for ``SHARED`` libraries. - See the :prop_tgt:`WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` target property. - -Modules -------- - -* The :module:`ExternalProject` module :command:`ExternalProject_Add` - function ``GIT_SUBMODULES`` option now also limits the set of - submodules that are initialized in addition to the prior behavior - of limiting the set of submodules that are updated. - -* The :module:`ExternalProject` module learned new ``USES_TERMINAL`` - arguments for giving steps exclusive terminal access. This is - useful with the :generator:`Ninja` generator to monitor CMake - superbuild progress and prevent CPU oversubscription. - -* The :module:`FindBISON` module ``BISON_TARGET`` macro learned a - new ``DEFINES_FILE`` option to specify a custom output header - to be generated. - -* The :module:`FindHDF5` module learend a new ``HDF5_PREFER_PARALLEL`` - option allowing users to specify that a parallel HDF5 tool is - preferred if both are available. - -* The :module:`FindIce` module now provides imported targets. - -* The :module:`FindJava` module learned to optionally find - the ``idlj`` and ``jarsigner`` tools. - -* The :module:`FindOpenSSL` module now provides imported targets. - -* The :module:`FindOpenSSL` module learned a new ``OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS`` - option to search only for static libraries. - -* The :module:`FindPkgConfig` learned a new :command:`pkg_get_variable` - command which may be used to query for arbitrary variables from a package - (such as for related tools or data and plugin install paths). - -* The :module:`FindProtobuf` module gained a new - :command:`protobuf_generate_python` function to generate python - sources from ``.proto`` files. - -* The :module:`FindTIFF` module learned to search separately for - debug and release variants. - -* The :module:`FindwxWidgets` module learned to support version requests. - -* The :module:`FindXercesC` module learned to search separately for - debug and release variants. - -* The :module:`FindZLIB` module learned to search separately for - debug and release variants. - -* The :module:`GNUInstallDirs` module learned special default values - for certain installation prefixes according to the `GNU Coding - Standards`_ and the `Filesystem Hierarchy Standard`_. - -* The :module:`UseJava` module ``add_jar`` function learned - to support response files (e.g. ``@srcs.txt``) for source - specification. - -* The :module:`UseJava` module ``install_jar`` function learned - new ``DESTINATION`` and ``COMPONENT`` options to specify - the corresponding :command:`install` command options. - -* The :module:`UseJava` module gained a new ``create_javah`` - function to create C headers from Java classes. - -.. _`GNU Coding Standards`: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html -.. _`Filesystem Hierarchy Standard`: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html - -Generator Expressions ---------------------- - -* A new ``$<SHELL_PATH:...>`` - :manual:`generator expression <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>` - has been added. - -CTest ------ - -* CTest learned to optionally measure the CPU load during parallel - testing and avoid starting tests that may cause the load to exceed - a given threshold. See the :manual:`ctest(1)` command ``--test-load`` - option, the ``TestLoad`` setting of the :ref:`CTest Test Step`, - the :variable:`CTEST_TEST_LOAD` variable, and the ``TEST_LOAD`` - option of the :command:`ctest_test` command. - -* :manual:`ctest(1)` learned options - ``--test-output-size-passed`` and ``--test-output-size-failed`` - to customize the limit on test output size submitted when - running as a :ref:`Dashboard Client`. - -CPack ------ - -* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned to set package dependencies - per component. See variables: - - * :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_BREAKS` - * :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_CONFLICTS` - * :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_ENHANCES` - * :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_PREDEPENDS` - * :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_PROVIDES` - * :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_RECOMMENDS` - * :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_REPLACES` - * :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_SUGGESTS` - -* The :module:`CPack` module learned to package empty directories. - -* The :module:`CPack` module gained a new setting, ``CPACK_VERBATIM_VARIABLES``, - which can be used to ensure the cpack program receives the settings' values - exactly as they were set, even if they contain CMake-special characters. - For compatibility, it's off by default. - -Other ------ - -* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality - is now aware of features supported by GNU C compilers on Windows. - -* CMake learned to honor ``*.manifest`` source files with MSVC tools. - Manifest files named as sources of ``.exe`` and ``.dll`` targets - will be merged with linker-generated manifests and embedded in the - binary. - -* The `Concurrent Fortran 77 <https://ccur.com>`__ compiler is now supported. - Its :variable:`compiler id <CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID>` is ``CCur``. - -* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a new ``--trace-expand`` command line option - that is like ``--trace`` but expands variable references in the output. - -Deprecated and Removed Features -=============================== - -* The :module:`CMakeExpandImportedTargets` module is now documented - as deprecated. See module documentation for an explanation. - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS` variable no longer has any - effect. Previously it was partially implemented and unreliable. - -Other Changes -============= - -* The :module:`CheckFunctionExists`, :module:`CheckLibraryExists`, - :module:`CheckSymbolExists`, and :module:`FindThreads` modules learned to - work in environments where only CXX is enabled. - -* The :module:`CPackDeb` module now correctly excludes symlinks during package - checksum calculation. - -* The :module:`CPackDeb` no longer uses fakeroot and system tar program for - packaging. - -* The :module:`CPack` module no longer mangles settings with CMake-special - characters when they're used as defaults for other settings. The macro - ``cpack_set_if_not_set``, which was responsible for this, is now deprecated. - -* CMake no longer links executables with flags to export symbols - unless the :prop_tgt:`ENABLE_EXPORTS` target property is set. - See policy :policy:`CMP0065`. - -* The ``SONAME`` field is no longer set for ``MODULE`` libraries - created with the :command:`add_library` command. ``MODULE`` - libraries are meant for explicit dynamic loading at runtime. - They cannot be linked so ``SONAME`` is not useful. - -* The internal :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILE_OBJECT` rule variable now - substitutes compiler include flags in a separate ``<INCLUDES>`` placeholder - instead of the main ``<FLAGS>`` placeholder. |
