It is currently supported by the :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` - for VS 2010 and above. - - C# assemblies and programs can be added just like common C++ targets using - the :command:`add_library` and :command:`add_executable` commands. - References between C# targets in the same source tree may be specified by - :command:`target_link_libraries` like for C++. References to system or - 3rd-party assemblies may be specified by the target properties - :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCE_<refname>` and - :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES`. - -* More fine tuning of C# targets may be done using target and source - file properties. Specifically the target properties related to - Visual Studio (``VS_*``) are worth a look (for setting toolset - versions, root namespaces, assembly icons, ...). - -CUDA -^^^^ - -* CMake learned to support ``CUDA`` as a first-class language that can be - enabled via the :command:`project` and :command:`enable_language` commands. - -* ``CUDA`` is currently supported by the :ref:`Makefile Generators` - and the :generator:`Ninja` generator on Linux, macOS, and Windows. - Support for the Visual Studio IDE is under development but not - included in this release. - -* The NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit compiler (``nvcc``) is supported. - -C & C++ -^^^^^^^ - -* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality - now offers meta-features that request compiler modes for specific language - standard levels (e.g. ``cxx_std_11``). See - :prop_gbl:`CMAKE_C_KNOWN_FEATURES` and :prop_gbl:`CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES`. - -* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality - is now aware of C++ 17. No specific features are yet enumerated besides - the ``cxx_std_17`` meta-feature. - -* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality - is now aware of the availability of C99 in gcc since version 3.4. - -Platforms ---------- - -* A new minimal platform file for ``Fuchsia`` was added. - -Generators ----------- - -* The :generator:`CodeBlocks` extra generator may now be used to - generate with :generator:`NMake Makefiles JOM`. - -* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2013 and above learned to - support a ``host=x64`` option in the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` - value (e.g. via the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-T`` option) to request use - of a VS 64-bit toolchain on 64-bit hosts. - -* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` learned to treat files passed to - :command:`target_link_libraries` whose names end in ``.targets`` - as MSBuild "targets" files to be imported into generated project files. - -Commands --------- - -* The :command:`add_custom_command` and :command:`add_custom_target` commands - learned the option ``COMMAND_EXPAND_LISTS`` which causes lists in the - ``COMMAND`` argument to be expanded, including lists created by generator - expressions. - -* The :command:`execute_process` command gained an ``ENCODING`` option to - specify on Windows which encoding is used for output from child process. - -* The :command:`math(EXPR)` command gained support for unary - ``+`` and ``-`` operators. - -* The :command:`source_group` command gained ``TREE`` and ``PREFIX`` - options to add groups following source tree directory structure. - -* The :command:`string(TIMESTAMP)` command learned to treat ``%%`` - as a way to encode plain ``%``. - -* The :command:`string(TIMESTAMP)` command will now honor the - ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`` environment variable and use its value - instead of the current time. - -* The :command:`try_compile` command source file signature gained new options - to specify the language standard to use in the generated test project. - -* The :command:`try_compile` command source file signature now honors - language standard variables like :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD`. - See policy :policy:`CMP0067`. - -Variables ---------- - -* A :variable:`CMAKE_CODELITE_USE_TARGETS` variable was added to tell the - :generator:`CodeLite` extra generator to change the generated project - to have target-centric organization. - The ``build``, ``rebuild``, and ``clean`` operations within ``CodeLite`` - then work on a selected target rather than the whole workspace. - (Note that the :generator:`Ninja` clean operation on a target - includes its dependencies, though.) - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_SUBLIME_TEXT_2_ENV_SETTINGS` variable was added to - tell the :generator:`Sublime Text 2` extra generator to place specified - environment variables in the generated ``.sublime-project``. - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_SUBLIME_TEXT_2_EXCLUDE_BUILD_TREE` variable was added - to tell the :generator:`Sublime Text 2` extra generator whether to exclude - the build tree from the ``.sublime-project`` when it is inside the source - tree. - -* A :variable:`CMAKE_VS_INCLUDE_PACKAGE_TO_DEFAULT_BUILD` variable was - added to tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above - to include the ``PACKAGE`` target in the default build, similar to - the existing :variable:`CMAKE_VS_INCLUDE_INSTALL_TO_DEFAULT_BUILD` - variable for the ``INSTALL`` target. - -Properties ----------- - -* A :prop_tgt:`BUILD_RPATH` target property and corresponding - :variable:`CMAKE_BUILD_RPATH` variable were added to support custom - ``RPATH`` locations to be added to binaries in the build tree. - -* The :prop_sf:`COMPILE_FLAGS` source file property learned to support - :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`. - -* The :prop_tgt:`FRAMEWORK` target property may now also be applied to - static libraries on Apple targets. It will result in a proper - Framework but with a static library inside. - -* :ref:`Imported <Imported Targets>` :ref:`Interface Libraries` learned new - :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LIBNAME` and :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LIBNAME_<CONFIG>` - target properties to specify a link library name since interface libraries - do not build their own library files. - -* A :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CPPLINT` target property and supporting - :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_CPPLINT` variable were introduced to tell - the :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator to - run the ``cpplint`` style checker along with the compiler for ``C`` and - ``CXX`` languages. - -* A :prop_tgt:`MANUALLY_ADDED_DEPENDENCIES` target property has been added. - It provides a read-only list of dependencies that have been added with - the :command:`add_dependencies` command. - -* The :prop_tgt:`MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG>` target property learned - to interpret empty list elements as referring to the configuration-less - imported location specified by :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LOCATION`. - -* The :prop_tgt:`NO_SYSTEM_FROM_IMPORTED` target property is now supported - on :ref:`Imported <Imported Targets>` :ref:`Interface Libraries`. - -* New source file properties :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOMOC`, :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOUIC`, - :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTORCC`, and :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOGEN` were added to allow - source files to be excluded from processing by :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`, - :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC`, and :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` target properties. - -* A :prop_sf:`VS_COPY_TO_OUT_DIR` source file property was added to - tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above whether - or not a file should e copied to the output directory. - -* A :prop_tgt:`VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY` target property was added - to tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above what - debugger working directory should be set for the target. - -* A :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES_COPY_LOCAL` target property was added - to specify whether to copy referenced assemblies to the output directory. - -* A :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCE_<refname>` target property was added - to tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above to add - a .NET reference with a given hint path. - -* A :prop_sf:`VS_INCLUDE_IN_VSIX` source file property was added to - tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above whether - to include the file in a Visual Studio extension package. - -* A :prop_sf:`VS_RESOURCE_GENERATOR` source file property was added to - give :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above a setting - for the resource generator (``C#`` only). - -* A :prop_tgt:`VS_USER_PROPS` target property was added to tell - :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above to use a - custom MSBuild user ``.props`` file. - -* A :prop_gbl:`XCODE_EMIT_EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME` global property was - added to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator whether to emit the - ``EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME`` variable. This is useful when building - with multiple SDKs like ``macosx`` and ``iphoneos`` in parallel. - -* New :prop_tgt:`XCODE_PRODUCT_TYPE` and :prop_tgt:`XCODE_EXPLICIT_FILE_TYPE` - target properties were created to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator - to use custom values of the corresponding attributes for a target in the - generated Xcode project. - -Modules -------- - -* A :module:`CSharpUtilities` module was added to aid parameterization of - Visual Studio C# targets. It provides functions to allow automated - setting of source file properties to support Windows Forms, WPF/XAML or - other technologies as needed. - -* The :module:`ExternalData` module learned to support multiple - content links for one data file using different hashes, e.g. - ``img.png.sha256`` and ``img.png.sha1``. This allows objects - to be fetched from sources indexed by different hash algorithms. - -* The :module:`ExternalProject` module gained the ``GIT_PROGRESS`` option to - force Git to show progress when cloning repositories. - -* The :module:`ExternalProject` module gained a ``GIT_CONFIG`` option - to pass ``--config`` options to Git when cloning repositories. - -* The :module:`FeatureSummary` module :command:`feature_summary` command now - accepts a new ``QUIET_ON_EMPTY`` option that suppresses the output when - the list of packages that belong to the selected category is empty. - -* The :module:`FeatureSummary` module :command:`add_feature_info` command - now accepts lists of dependencies for deciding whether a feature is enabled - or not. - -* The package types accepted by the :module:`FeatureSummary` module can now - be tweaked by changing the :variable:`FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES`, - :variable:`FeatureSummary_REQUIRED_PKG_TYPES` and - :variable:`FeatureSummary_DEFAULT_PKG_TYPE` global properties. - -* The :module:`FindOpenGL` module now provides imported targets - ``OpenGL::GL`` and ``OpenGL::GLU`` when the libraries are found. - -* The :module:`UseSWIG` module gained a ``swig_add_library`` command - to give more flexibility over the old ``swig_add_module`` command. - -* The :module:`UseSWIG` module ``swig_add_source_to_module`` command - learned a new ``SWIG_OUTFILE_DIR`` option to control the output - file location (``swig -o``). - -* The :module:`WriteCompilerDetectionHeader` module gained the - ``ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILERS`` and ``ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSIONS`` options - that allow creation of headers that will work also with unknown or old - compilers by simply assuming they do not support any of the requested - features. - -CTest ------ - -* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command gained a ``DEFECT_COUNT <var>`` - option to capture the number of memory defects detected. - -* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command learned to read the location of - suppressions files for sanitizers from the - :variable:`CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_SUPPRESSIONS_FILE` variable. - -* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command learned to support ``LeakSanitizer`` - independently from ``AddressSanitizer``. - -* The :command:`ctest_update` command ``CDASH_UPLOAD`` signature was taught - to honor the ``RETRY_COUNT``, ``RETRY_DELAY``, and ``QUIET`` options. - -CPack ------ - -* The :module:`CPackIFWConfigureFile` module was added to define a new - :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_file` command to configure file templates - prepared in QtIFW/SDK/Creator style. - -* The :module:`CPackIFW` module :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component` and - :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component_group` commands gained a new - ``DEFAULT``, ``VIRTUAL``, ``FORCED_INSTALLATION``, ``REQUIRES_ADMIN_RIGHTS``, - ``DISPLAY_NAME``, ``UPDATE_TEXT``, ``DESCRIPTION``, ``RELEASE_DATE``, - ``AUTO_DEPEND_ON`` and ``TRANSLATIONS`` options to more specific - configuration. - -* The :module:`CPackIFW` module :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component` - command gained a new ``DEPENDENCIES`` alias for ``DEPENDS`` option. - -* The :module:`CPackIFW` module :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component_group` - command gained a new ``DEPENDS`` option. The ``DEPENDENCIES`` alias also - added. - -* The :module:`CPackIFW` module :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component` and - :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component_group` commands ``PRIORITY`` - option now is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of CMake. - Please use new ``SORTING_PRIORITY`` option instead. - -* The :module:`CPackIFW` module gained new - :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_WATERMARK`, - :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_BANNER`, - :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_BACKGROUND`, - :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_WIZARD_STYLE`, - :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_WIZARD_DEFAULT_WIDTH`, - :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_WIZARD_DEFAULT_HEIGHT`, and - :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_TITLE_COLOR` - variables to customize a QtIFW installer look. - -* The :module:`CPackProductBuild` module gained options to sign packages. - See the variables :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_IDENTITY_NAME`, - :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_KEYCHAIN_PATH`, - :variable:`CPACK_PKGBUILD_IDENTITY_NAME`, and - :variable:`CPACK_PKGBUILD_KEYCHAIN_PATH`. - -* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to omit tags that are not supported by - provided ``rpmbuild`` tool. If unsupported tags are set they are ignored - and a developer warning is printed out. - -* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to generate main component package - which forces generation of a rpm for defined component without component - suffix in filename and package name. - See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_MAIN_COMPONENT` variable. - -* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to generate a single ``debuginfo`` - package on demand even if components packaging is used. - See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_SINGLE_PACKAGE` variable. - -* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to support - multiple directives per file when using - :variable:`CPACK_RPM_USER_FILELIST` variable. - -Other ------ - -* CMake functionality using cryptographic hashes now supports SHA-3 algorithms. - -* A new generator expression ``$<IF:cond,true-value,false-value>`` was added. - It resolves to the true-value if the condition is ``1`` and resolves to - the false-value if the condition is ``0``. - -Deprecated and Removed Features -=============================== - -* The :module:`FeatureSummary` module commands :command:`set_package_info`, - :command:`set_feature_info`, :command:`print_enabled_features`, and - :command:`print_disabled_features` are now deprecated. - -* The :module:`UseSWIG` module ``swig_add_module`` command is now - deprecated in favor of ``swig_add_library``. - -Other Changes -============= - -* If a command specified by the :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` target property - returns non-zero at build time this is now treated as an error instead of - silently ignored. - -* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command no longer automatically adds - ``leak_check=1`` to the options used by ``AddressSanitizer``. The default - behavior of ``AddressSanitizer`` is to run `LeakSanitizer` to check leaks - unless ``leak_check=0``. - -* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command was fixed to correctly append extra - sanitizer options read from the - :variable:`CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_SANITIZER_OPTIONS` variable to the environment - variables used internally by the sanitizers. - -* The :module:`FeatureSummary` module :command:`set_package_properties` - command no longer forces the package type to ``OPTIONAL`` when the type - is not explicitly set. - -* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality - is now aware of features supported by Intel C++ compilers versions 12.1 - through 17.0 on UNIX and Windows platforms. - -* Calls to the :module:`FindPkgConfig` module :command:`pkg_check_modules` - command following a successful call learned to re-evaluate the cached values - for a given prefix after changes to the parameters to the command for that - prefix. - -* When using :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC`, generated - ``moc_*``, ``*.moc`` and ``ui_*`` are placed in the - ``<CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR>/<TARGETNAME>_autogen/include`` directory which - is automatically added to the target's :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`. - It is therefore not necessary anymore to have - :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR` in the target's - :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`. - -* The :generator:`Sublime Text 2` generator no longer runs the native - build command (e.g. ``ninja`` or ``make``) with verbose build output - enabled. - -* The :command:`try_compile` command source file signature now - honors the :variable:`CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED` variable value - in the generated test project. - -* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above now place - per-source file flags after target-wide flags when they are classified - as raw flags with no project file setting (``AdditionalOptions``). - This behavior is more consistent with the ordering of flags produced - by other generators, and allows flags on more-specific properties - (per-source) to override those on more general ones (per-target). - -* The precompiled Windows binary MSI package provided on ``cmake.org`` now - records the installation directory in the Windows Registry under the key - ``HKLM\Software\Kitware\CMake`` with a value named ``InstallDir``. |
