See the - :prop_tgt:`DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK` target property and - associated :variable:`CMAKE_DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK` variable. - -Languages ---------- - -* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality - now offers meta-features for the CUDA language standard levels - (e.g. ``cuda_std_03``, ``cuda_std_14``). See - :prop_gbl:`CMAKE_CUDA_KNOWN_FEATURES`. - -Compilers ---------- - -* The IBM XL Fortran compiler is now supported by the :generator:`Ninja` - generator. - -Command-Line ------------- - -* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``--debug-find`` command-line option to - enable additional human-readable output on where ``find_*`` commands search. - -* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``--trace-format`` command-line option that - can be used to set the ``--trace`` output format. Currently, the old - human readable and the new JSON format are supported. The new JSON format - is easier to parse automatically than the existing format. - -* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``-E rm`` command-line tool that can be - used to remove directories and files. This supersedes the existing - ``-E remove`` and ``-E remove_directory`` tools and has better semantics. - -Commands --------- - -* The :command:`add_custom_command` command learned to interpret paths in - ``DEPENDS`` arguments that are specified relative to the current - binary directory. - -* The :command:`foreach` command learned a new ``ZIP_LISTS`` option to iterate - over multiple lists simultaneously. - -* The :command:`load_cache(READ_WITH_PREFIX)` command mode is now allowed - when using ``cmake -P`` to :ref:`Run a Script <Script Processing Mode>`. - -* The :command:`message` command learned to output context provided in - the :variable:`CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT` variable for log levels - ``NOTICE`` and below. Enable this output with the new ``--log-context`` - command-line option or :variable:`CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_SHOW` variable. - -* The :command:`message` command gained new keywords ``CHECK_START``, - ``CHECK_PASS`` and ``CHECK_FAIL``. - -* The :command:`target_compile_options` command now honors the ``BEFORE`` - keyword more consistently. See policy :policy:`CMP0101`. - -Variables ---------- - -* A :variable:`CMAKE_CTEST_ARGUMENTS` variable was added to specify a list - of command-line arguments passed to CTest when running through the - ``test`` (or ``RUN_TESTS``) target of the generated build system. - -* The following variables are now defined inside a :command:`function`: - - - :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION` - - :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION_LIST_DIR` - - :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION_LIST_FILE` - - :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION_LIST_LINE` - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` variable and - :prop_tgt:`CUDA_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` target property were introduced to - select the CUDA runtime library used when linking targets that - use CUDA. - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE` variable was introduced to - print extra ``find_*`` call information during the cmake run to standard - error. Output is designed for human consumption and not for parsing. - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS` variable now takes its - initial value from the :envvar:`CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS` environment - variable if no explicit configuration is given. - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` variable, if not set - explicitly, now takes its initial value from the - :envvar:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` environment variable. - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_MESSAGE_LOG_LEVEL` variable can now be used - to persist a log level between CMake runs, unlike the ``--log-level`` - command line option which only applies to that particular run. - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_ENVIRONMENT` variable was added - to initialize the :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_ENVIRONMENT` target property. - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_WORKING_DIRECTORY` variable and - associated :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_WORKING_DIRECTORY` target property - were added to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator to set the value of - the ``Custom Working Directory`` schema option. - -Properties ----------- - -* The :prop_tgt:`AIX_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` target property and associated - :variable:`CMAKE_AIX_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` variable were created to - optionally explicitly disable automatic export of symbols from shared - libraries on AIX. - -* The :prop_tgt:`DEPRECATION` target property was added to mark - a target as deprecated. If a linked target is marked as - deprecated, a warning with the deprecation message is issued - at generate time. - -* The :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_NAME_DIR` target property now supports - :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`. - In particular, the ``$<INSTALL_PREFIX>`` generator expression can - be used to set the directory relative to the install-time prefix. - -* Target properties :prop_tgt:`MACHO_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION` and - :prop_tgt:`MACHO_CURRENT_VERSION` were added to set the - ``compatibility_version`` and ``curent_version``, respectively, - for Mach-O binaries. For backwards compatibility, if these properties - are not set, :prop_tgt:`SOVERSION` and :prop_tgt:`VERSION` - are used respectively as fallbacks. - -* The :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_DOCUMENTATION_FILE` target property was added - to tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` to generate a ``DocumentationFile`` - reference in ``.csproj`` files. - -Modules -------- - -* The :module:`ExternalProject` module :command:`ExternalProject_Add` - command gained a ``GIT_SUBMODULES_RECURSE`` option to specify whether - Git submodules should be updated recursively. The default is on to - preserve existing behavior. - -* The :module:`FindCUDAToolkit` module was added to find the - CUDA Toolkit without enabling CUDA as a language. - -* The :module:`FindCURL` module learned to find CURL using - the ``CURLConfig.cmake`` package configuration file generated by - CURL's cmake buildsystem. It also gained a new ``CURL_NO_CURL_CMAKE`` - option to disable this behavior. - -* The :module:`FindFLEX` module's ``FLEX_TARGET`` command now runs ``flex`` - with :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR` as the working directory. - See policy :policy:`CMP0098`. - -* The :module:`FindLibArchive` module now provides an imported target - for libarchive. - -* The :module:`FindPython` module has learned to find Python components - in active virtual environments managed by ``conda``. - -* The :module:`FindPython3` and :module:`FindPython` modules gained, - respectively, variable ``Python3_SOABI`` and ``Python_SOABI`` giving - the standard extension suffix for modules. Moreover, commands - ``Python3_add_library()`` and ``Python_add_library()`` gained the option - ``WITH_SOABI`` to prefix the library suffix with the value of ``SOABI``. - -* The :module:`FindLibXml2` module now provides an imported target for the - ``xmllint`` executable. - -Autogen -------- - -* :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` and :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` learned to process headers - with a ``.hh`` extension. See policy :policy:`CMP0100`. - -CTest ------ - -* The :variable:`CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE` variable is now set from the - command line when :manual:`ctest(1)` is invoked with ``-C <cfg>``. - -* The :manual:`ctest(1)` tool gained support for Dr. Memory to run - memcheck runs. - -* The :manual:`ctest(1)` tool gained a ``--no-tests=<[error|ignore]>`` option - to explicitly set and unify the behavior between direct invocation and - script mode if no tests were found. - -* The :manual:`ctest(1)` tool gained a ``--repeat <mode>:<n>`` option - to specify conditions in which to repeat tests. This generalizes - the existing ``--repeat-until-fail <n>`` option to add modes for - ``until-pass`` and ``after-timeout``. - -* The :command:`ctest_test` command gained a ``REPEAT <mode>:<n>`` option - to specify conditions in which to repeat tests. - -CPack ------ - -* The :cpack_gen:`CPack DragNDrop Generator` learned to use - the :variable:`CPACK_DMG_<component>_FILE_NAME` variable - to set a custom filename when packaging components into - their own DMGs. - -* The :cpack_gen:`CPack DragNDrop Generator` learned to handle - RTF formatted license files. When :variable:`CPACK_DMG_SLA_DIR` - variable is set, ``<language>.license.rtf`` is considered, but - only as a fallback when the plaintext (``.txt``) file is not found - in order to maintain backwards compatibility. - -* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` gained a new variable - :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_MUI_HEADERIMAGE` to set the header image. - To not break existing setups, it still defaults to - :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_ICON` if the new variable is not set. - -* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` now supports - :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_UNINSTALL_NAME`. - This can be used to specify the name of the Uninstall program. - -* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` now supports - :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_WELCOME_TITLE` and - :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_WELCOME_TITLE_3LINES`. - These can be used to specify the welcome page title and display it in 3 lines. - -* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` now supports - :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_FINISH_TITLE` and - :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_FINISH_TITLE_3LINES`. - These can be used to specify the finish page title and display it in 3 lines. - -* The :cpack_gen:`CPack productbuild Generator` gained support for a - :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND` variable to specify a background - image for the macOS installer. - -Other ------ - -* :manual:`ccmake(1)` now displays cache values using colors - based on the entry type if the terminal supports color. - -* :manual:`ccmake(1)` now displays messages and a progress bar during - configure and generate. It will keep the output displayed if any - errors or warnings occurred. - -Deprecated and Removed Features -=============================== - -* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policy ``CMP0068`` - and policy ``CMP0069`` (``CMP0067`` and below were already deprecated). - The :manual:`cmake-policies(7)` manual explains that the OLD behaviors - of all policies are deprecated and that projects should port to the - NEW behaviors. - -* The :cpack_gen:`CPack PackageMaker Generator` generator has been - deprecated because Xcode no longer distributes the PackageMaker tools. - The undocumented ``OSXX11`` generator has also been deprecated. - -* The :manual:`cmake(1)` command-line ``-E remove`` and ``-E remove_directory`` - tools are deprecated in favor of the new ``-E rm`` tool. The older tools - always returned 0 if a named path did not exist even without the force - option and cannot be fixed without breaking compatibility, and so have - been superseded. - -Other Changes -============= - -* The :manual:`file API <cmake-file-api(7)>` index file now emits a - ``multiConfig`` flag specifying whether or not the generator supports - multiple output configurations. - -* Target link properties :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS`, - :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_DIRECTORIES` and - :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_DEPENDS` are now transitive over private - dependencies on static libraries. - See policy :policy:`CMP0099`. - -* When using MinGW tools, the :command:`find_library` command no longer - finds ``.dll`` files by default. Instead, it expects ``.dll.a`` import - libraries to be available. - -* The :generator:`MinGW Makefiles` generator no longer issues an error if - ``sh.exe`` is present in the environment's ``PATH``. - -* The :generator:`Ninja` generator now prefers the first ninja build - tool to appear in the ``PATH`` no matter whether it is called - ``ninja-build``, ``ninja``, or ``samu``. Previously the first - of those names to appear anywhere in the ``PATH`` would be preferred. - -* With SDCC the ``sdar`` tool is now preferred over ``sdcclib`` as librarian. - The latter was deprecated by SDCC 3.2.0 and removed in SDCC 3.8.6. - -* With SDCC the default flags no longer include any target-specific flags. - Previously the default flags were hard-coded for 8051. - -* The :variable:`CMAKE_VS_GLOBALS` variable value now applies during - compiler identification and in targets created by the - :command:`add_custom_target` command. - -* The :generator:`Xcode` generator no longer hard-codes ``-Wmost``, - ``-Wno-four-char-constants``, and ``-Wno-unknown-pragmas`` warning flags. |
