Changes made since CMake 3.4 include the following.
|
||||
|
||||
New Features
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
GUI
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` gained options to control warnings about
|
||||
deprecated functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` learned an option to set the toolset
|
||||
to be used with VS IDE and Xcode generators, much like the
|
||||
existing ``-T`` option to :manual:`cmake(1)`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` gained a Regular Expression Explorer which
|
||||
may be used to create and evaluate regular expressions in real-time.
|
||||
The explorer window is available via the ``Tools`` menu.
|
||||
|
||||
Command-Line
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``-Wdev`` and ``-Wno-dev`` :manual:`cmake(1)` options now also enable
|
||||
and suppress the deprecated warnings output by default.
|
||||
|
||||
* The suppression of developer warnings as errors can now be controlled with
|
||||
the new ``-Werror=dev`` and ``-Wno-error=dev`` :manual:`cmake(1)` options.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E`` command-line tools ``copy``,
|
||||
``copy_if_different``, ``copy_directory``, and ``make_directory``
|
||||
learned to support multiple input files or directories.
|
||||
|
||||
Commands
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`cmake_parse_arguments` command is now implemented natively.
|
||||
The :module:`CMakeParseArguments` module remains as an empty placeholder
|
||||
for compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`install(DIRECTORY)` command learned to support
|
||||
:manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`
|
||||
in the list of directories.
|
||||
|
||||
Variables
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED` variable can now be set using the
|
||||
``-Werror=deprecated`` and ``-Wno-error=deprecated`` :manual:`cmake(1)`
|
||||
options.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED` variable can now be set using the
|
||||
``-Wdeprecated`` and ``-Wno-deprecated`` :manual:`cmake(1)` options.
|
||||
|
||||
Properties
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`VS_GLOBAL_<variable>` target property is now implemented
|
||||
for VS 2010 and above. 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 :module:`CPackDMG` module 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 :module:`CPackDeb` module learned to set the optional config
|
||||
file ``Source`` field using a monolithic or per-component variable.
|
||||
See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SOURCE`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackDeb` module 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 :module:`CPack DragNDrop generator <CPackDMG>` 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 :module:`CPackNSIS` module 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 :module:`CPackRPM` module 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 :module:`CMakeForceCompiler` module and its macros are now deprecated.
|
||||
See module documentation for an explanation.
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
