This is useful for - cross-compiling toolchains that cannot link binaries without - custom flags or scripts. - -Properties ----------- - -* A :prop_tgt:`DEPLOYMENT_REMOTE_DIRECTORY` target property was introduced - to tell the :generator:`Visual Studio 9 2008` and - :generator:`Visual Studio 8 2005` generators to generate the "remote - directory" for WinCE project deployment and debugger settings. - -* A :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` target property and supporting - :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` variable were introduced to tell the - :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator to run - ``clang-tidy`` along with the compiler for ``C`` and ``CXX`` languages. - -* A :prop_test:`TIMEOUT_AFTER_MATCH` test property was introduced to - optionally tell CTest to enforce a secondary timeout after matching - certain output from a test. - -* A :prop_tgt:`VS_CONFIGURATION_TYPE` target property was introduced - to specify a custom project file type for :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` - supporting VS 2010 and above. - -* A :prop_dir:`VS_STARTUP_PROJECT` directory property was introduced - to specify for :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` the default startup - project for generated solutions (``.sln`` files). - -Modules -------- - -* The :module:`CMakePushCheckState` module now pushes/pops/resets the variable - ``CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILE`` used in :module:`CheckTypeSize`. - -* The :module:`ExternalProject` module leared the ``GIT_SHALLOW 1`` - option to perform a shallow clone of a Git repository. - -* The :module:`ExternalProject` module learned to initialize Git submodules - recursively and also to initialize new submodules on updates. Use the - ``GIT_SUBMODULES`` option to restrict which submodules are initalized and - updated. - -* The :module:`ExternalProject` module leared the ``DOWNLOAD_NO_EXTRACT 1`` - argument to skip extracting the file that is downloaded (e.g., for - self-extracting shell installers or ``.msi`` files). - -* The :module:`ExternalProject` module now uses ``TLS_VERIFY`` when fetching - from git repositories. - -* The :module:`FindBLAS` and :module:`FindLAPACK` modules learned to - support `OpenBLAS <http://www.openblas.net>`__. - -* The :module:`FindCUDA` module learned to find the ``cublas_device`` library. - -* The :module:`FindGTest` module ``gtest_add_tests`` function now causes - CMake to automatically re-run when test sources change so that they - can be re-scanned. - -* The :module:`FindLTTngUST` module was introduced to find the LTTng-UST - library. - -* The :module:`FindPkgConfig` module learned to optionally create imported - targets for the libraries it has found. - -* The :module:`FindProtobuf` module learned to provide a ``Protobuf_VERSION`` - variable and check the version number requested in a :command:`find_package` - call. - -* The :module:`InstallRequiredSystemLibraries` module learned a new - ``CMAKE_INSTALL_UCRT_LIBRARIES`` option to enable app-local deployment - of the Windows Universal CRT libraries with Visual Studio 2015. - -Platforms ---------- - -* The Clang compiler is now supported on CYGWIN. - -* Support was added for the Bruce C Compiler with compiler id ``Bruce``. - -CTest ------ - -* The :command:`ctest_update` command now looks at the - :variable:`CTEST_GIT_INIT_SUBMODULES` variable to determine whether - submodules should be updated or not before updating. - -* The :command:`ctest_update` command will now synchronize submodules on an - update. Updates which add submodules or change a submodule's URL will now be - pulled properly. - -CPack ------ - -* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to handle ``$ORIGIN`` - in ``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH`` when :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS` - is used for dependency auto detection. - -* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to generate ``DEBIAN/shlibs`` - contorl file when package contains shared libraries. - -* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to generate ``DEBIAN/postinst`` and - ``DEBIAN/postrm`` files if the package installs libraries in - ldconfig-controlled locations (e.g. ``/lib/``, ``/usr/lib/``). - -* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to generate dependencies between - Debian packages if multi-component setup is used and - :variable:`CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DEPENDS` variables are set. - For backward compatibility this feature is disabled by default. - See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_ENABLE_COMPONENT_DEPENDS`. - -* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to set custom package file names - including how to generate properly-named Debian packages:: - - <PackageName>_<VersionNumber>-<DebianRevisionNumber>_<DebianArchitecture>.deb - - For backward compatibility this feature is disabled by default. See - :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_FILE_NAME` and - :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_FILE_NAME`. - -* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to set the package release number - (``DebianRevisionNumber`` in package file name when used in combination with - ``DEB-DEFAULT`` value set by :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_FILE_NAME`). See - :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_RELEASE`. - -* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to set the package architecture - per-component. See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_ARCHITECTURE`. - -* The :module:`CPackDMG` module learned a new option to tell the CPack - ``DragNDrop`` generaor to skip the ``/Applications`` symlink. - See the :variable:`CPACK_DMG_DISABLE_APPLICATIONS_SYMLINK` variable. - -* The :module:`CPackIFW` module gained a new - :command:`cpack_ifw_update_repository` command to update a QtIFW-specific - repository from a remote repository. - -* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to set RPM ``dist`` tag as part of - RPM ``Release:`` tag when enabled (mandatory on some Linux distributions for - e.g. on Fedora). - See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DIST`. - -* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to set default values for owning - user/group and file/directory permissions of package content. - See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_USER`, :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_GROUP`, - :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS`, - :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_DIR_PERMISSIONS` and their per component - counterparts. - -* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to set user defined package file - names, how to specify that rpmbuild should decide on file name format as - well as handling of multiple rpm packages generated by a single user defined - spec file. - See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_NAME` and - :variable:`CPACK_RPM_<component>_PACKAGE_NAME`. - -* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to correctly handle symlinks - that are pointing outside generated packages. - -Other ------ - -* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality - is now aware of features supported by Intel C++ compilers versions 12.1 - through 16.0 on UNIX platforms. - -Deprecated and Removed Features -=============================== - -* The :module:`CMakeForceCompiler` module and its macros are now deprecated. - See module documentation for an explanation. - -* The :command:`find_library`, :command:`find_path`, and :command:`find_file` - commands no longer search in installation prefixes derived from the ``PATH`` - environment variable on non-Windows platforms. This behavior was added in - CMake 3.3 to support Windows hosts but has proven problematic on UNIX hosts. - Users that keep some ``<prefix>/bin`` directories in the ``PATH`` just for - their tools do not necessarily want any supporting ``<prefix>/lib`` - directories searched. One may set the ``CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`` environment - variable with a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of prefixes that are - to be searched. - -* The :generator:`Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003` generator is now - deprecated and will be removed in a future version of CMake. - -* The :generator:`Visual Studio 7` generator (for VS .NET 2002) has been - removed. It had been deprecated since CMake 3.3. - -* The :generator:`Visual Studio 6` generator has been removed. - It had been deprecated since CMake 3.3. - -Other Changes -============= - -* The precompiled OS X binary provided on ``cmake.org`` now requires - OS X 10.7 or newer. - -* On Linux and FreeBSD platforms, when building CMake itself from source and - not using a system-provided libcurl, OpenSSL is now used by default if it is - found on the system. This enables SSL/TLS support for commands supporting - network communication via ``https``, such as :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)`, - :command:`file(UPLOAD)`, and :command:`ctest_submit`. - -* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--build`` command-line tool now rejects multiple - ``--target`` options with an error instead of silently ignoring all but the - last one. - -* :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` now diagnoses name collisions when multiple source - files in different directories use ``#include <moc_foo.cpp>`` with the - same name (because the generated ``moc_foo.cpp`` files would collide). - -* The :module:`FindBISON` module ``BISON_TARGET`` macro now supports - special characters by passing the ``VERBATIM`` option to internal - :command:`add_custom_command` calls. This may break clients that - added escaping manually to work around the bug. - -* The :module:`FindFLEX` module ``FLEX_TARGET`` macro now supports - special characters by passing the ``VERBATIM`` option to internal - :command:`add_custom_command` calls. This may break clients that - added escaping manually to work around the bug. - -* The :module:`FindProtobuf` module input and output variables were all renamed - from ``PROTOBUF_`` to ``Protobuf_`` for consistency with other find modules. - Input variables of the old case will be honored if provided, and output - variables of the old case are always provided. - -* The :module:`CPackRPM` module now supports upper cased component - names in per component CPackRPM specific variables. - E.g. component named ``foo`` now expects component specific - variable to be ``CPACK_RPM_FOO_PACKAGE_NAME`` while before - it expected ``CPACK_RPM_foo_PACKAGE_NAME``. - Upper cased component name part in variables is compatible - with convention used for other CPack variables. - For back compatibility old format of variables is still valid - and preferred if both versions of variable are set, but the - preferred future use is upper cased component names in variables. - New variables that will be added to CPackRPM in later versions - will only support upper cased component variable format. - -* The CPack NSIS generator's configuration file template was fixed to - quote the path to the uninstaller tool used by the - :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL` option. - This avoids depending on an insecure Windows feature to run an - uninstaller tool with a space in the path. |
