|
||||
* The CPack WIX generator now supports :variable:`CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE`
|
||||
fragments for Feature elements.
|
||||
|
||||
* The CPack WIX generator now supports
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_WIX_ROOT_FEATURE_TITLE` and
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_WIX_ROOT_FEATURE_DESCRIPTION` to allow the specification
|
||||
of a custom title and description for the root feature element.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :prop_sf:`XCODE_FILE_ATTRIBUTES` source file property was
|
||||
added to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator to generate
|
||||
custom content in the Xcode project attributes for the file.
|
||||
Other
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Xcode` generator's rudimentary Swift language support
|
||||
learned to honor a new :variable:`CMAKE_Swift_LANGUAGE_VERSION` variable
|
||||
to tell Xcode what version of Swift is used by the source.
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``-E capabilities`` option to provide a
|
||||
machine-readable (JSON) description of the capabilities of the
|
||||
cmake tool (available generators, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
* A new :manual:`cmake-server(7)` mode was added to provide semantic
|
||||
information about a CMake-generated buildsystem to clients through
|
||||
a JSON protocol. Currently all protocols are experimental and subject
|
||||
to change.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` command learned a ``--trace-source=<file>`` option.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`ccmake(1)` learned to support vim-like navigation bindings.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` gained a button to open the generated project file
|
||||
for :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` and the :generator:`Xcode` generator.
|
||||
|
||||
Deprecated and Removed Features
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
* We no longer provide Linux i386 binaries for download from ``cmake.org``
|
||||
for new versions of CMake.
|
||||
|
||||
* Vim support files ``cmake-indent.vim``, ``cmake-syntax.vim``, and
|
||||
``cmake-help.vim`` have been removed in favor of the files now provided
|
||||
from the `vim-cmake-syntax`_ project.
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for building CMake itself with some compilers was dropped:
|
||||
|
||||
* Visual Studio 7.1 and 2005 -- superseded by VS 2008 and above
|
||||
* MinGW.org mingw32 -- superseded by MSYS2 mingw32 and mingw64
|
||||
|
||||
CMake still supports generating build systems for other projects using
|
||||
these compilers.
|
||||
|
||||
Other Changes
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
* The Fortran dependency scanner learned to support the syntax of
|
||||
`Fortran Submodules`_.
|
||||
|
||||
* Vim support files ``indent/cmake.vim`` and ``syntax/cmake.vim``
|
||||
from the `vim-cmake-syntax`_ project are now distributed with CMake.
