Previously it worked only in VS 2008 and below. + +Modules +------- + +* The :module:`ExternalProject` module learned a new ``GIT_REMOTE_NAME`` + option to control the ``git clone --origin`` value. + +* The :module:`FindBoost` module now provides imported targets + such as ``Boost::boost`` and ``Boost::filesystem``. + +* The :module:`FindFLEX` module ``FLEX_TARGET`` macro learned a + new ``DEFINES_FILE`` option to specify a custom output header + to be generated. + +* The :module:`FindGTest` module now provides imported targets. + +* The :module:`FindGTK2` module, when ``GTK2_USE_IMPORTED_TARGETS`` is + enabled, now sets ``GTK2_LIBRARIES`` to contain the list of imported + targets instead of the paths to the libraries. Moreover it now sets + a new ``GTK2_TARGETS`` variable containing all the targets imported. + +* The :module:`FindOpenMP` module learned to support Clang. + +* The :module:`FindOpenSSL` module gained a new + ``OPENSSL_MSVC_STATIC_RT`` option to search for libraries using + the MSVC static runtime. + +* The :module:`FindPNG` module now provides imported targets. + +* The :module:`FindTIFF` module now provides imported targets. + +* A :module:`FindXalanC` module was introduced to find the + Apache Xalan-C++ XSL transform processing library. + +* The :module:`FindXercesC` module now provides imported targets. + +Platforms +--------- + +* Support was added for the ARM Compiler (arm.com) with compiler id ``ARMCC``. + +* A new platform file for cross-compiling in the Cray Linux Environment to + target compute nodes was added. See + :ref:`Cross Compiling for the Cray Linux Environment <Cray Cross-Compile>` + for usage details. + +* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality + is now aware of features supported by Clang compilers on Windows (MinGW). + +* When building for embedded Apple platforms like iOS CMake learned to build and + install combined targets which contain both a device and a simulator build. + This behavior can be enabled by setting the :prop_tgt:`IOS_INSTALL_COMBINED` + target property. + +CPack +----- + +* The :cpack_gen:`CPack DragNDrop Generator` learned new variable to + specify AppleScript file run to customize appearance of ``DragNDrop`` + installer folder, including background image setting using supplied + PNG or multi-resolution TIFF file. + See the :variable:`CPACK_DMG_DS_STORE_SETUP_SCRIPT` and + :variable:`CPACK_DMG_BACKGROUND_IMAGE` variables. + +* The :cpack_gen:`CPack DEB Generator` learned to set the optional config + file ``Source`` field using a monolithic or per-component variable. + See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SOURCE`. + +* The :cpack_gen:`CPack DEB Generator` learned to set Package, Section + and Priority control fields per-component. + See variables :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_SECTION` and + :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_PRIORITY`. + +* The :cpack_gen:`CPack DragNDrop Generator` learned to add + multi-lingual SLAs to a DMG which is presented to the user when they try to + mount the DMG. See the :variable:`CPACK_DMG_SLA_LANGUAGES` and + :variable:`CPACK_DMG_SLA_DIR` variables for details. + +* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` learned new variables to + add bitmaps to the installer. + See the :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP` + and :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_MUI_UNWELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP` variables. + +* The :cpack_gen:`CPack RPM Generator` learned to set Name and Group + control fields per-component. + See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_<component>_PACKAGE_NAME` + and :variable:`CPACK_RPM_<component>_PACKAGE_GROUP`. + +Other +----- + +* Warnings about deprecated functionality are now enabled by default. + They may be suppressed with ``-Wno-deprecated`` or by setting the + :variable:`CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED` variable to false. + +Deprecated and Removed Features +=============================== + +* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E time`` command now properly passes arguments + with spaces or special characters through to the child process. This + may break scripts that worked around the bug with their own extra + quoting or escaping. + +* The :generator:`Xcode` generator was fixed to escape backslashes in + strings consistently with other generators. Projects that previously + worked around the inconsistecy with an extra level of backslashes + conditioned on the Xcode generator must be updated to remove the + workaround for CMake 3.5 and greater. + +Other Changes +============= + +* The :generator:`Visual Studio 14 2015` generator learned to map the + ``/debug:fastlink`` linker flag to the ``.vcxproj`` file property. + +* The :module:`FindGTK2` module now configures the ``GTK2::sigc++`` imported + target to enable c++11 on its dependents when using sigc++ 2.5.1 or higher. + +* The precompiled Windows binary provided on ``cmake.org`` is now a + ``.msi`` package instead of an installer executable. One may need + to manually uninstall CMake versions lower than 3.5 before installing + the new package. |
