CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION
------------------- -------------------
The Major version of cmake (i.e. the 2 in 2.X.X) First version number component of the :variable:`CMAKE_VERSION`
variable.
This specifies the major version of the CMake executable being run.

CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION
------------------- -------------------
The Minor version of cmake (i.e. the 4 in X.4.X). Second version number component of the :variable:`CMAKE_VERSION`
variable.
This specifies the minor version of the CMake executable being run.

CMAKE_PATCH_VERSION CMAKE_PATCH_VERSION

CMAKE_TWEAK_VERSION CMAKE_TWEAK_VERSION
------------------- -------------------
The tweak version of cmake (i.e. the 1 in X.X.X.1). Fourth version number component of the :variable:`CMAKE_VERSION`
variable.
This specifies the tweak version of the CMake executable being run.
Releases use tweak < 20000000 and development versions use the date
format CCYYMMDD for the tweak level.

CMAKE_VERSION CMAKE_VERSION
------------- -------------
The full version of cmake in major.minor.patch[.tweak[-id]] format. The CMake version string as up to four non-negative integer components
separated by ``.`` and possibly followed by ``-`` and other information.
The first three components represent the feature level and the fourth
component represents either a bug-fix level or development date.
This specifies the full version of the CMake executable being run. Release versions and release candidate versions of CMake use the format::
This variable is defined by versions 2.6.3 and higher. See variables
CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION, CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION, CMAKE_PATCH_VERSION, and <major>.<minor>.<patch>[.<tweak>][-rc<n>]
CMAKE_TWEAK_VERSION for individual version components. The [-id]
component appears in non-release versions and may be arbitrary text. where the ``<tweak>`` component is less than ``20000000``. Development
versions of CMake use the format::
<major>.<minor>.<patch>.<date>[-<id>]
where the ``<date>`` component is of format ``CCYYMMDD`` and ``<id>``
may contain arbitrary text. This represents development as of a
particular date following the ``<major>.<minor>.<patch>`` feature
release.
Individual component values are also available in variables:
* :variable:`CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION`
* :variable:`CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION`
* :variable:`CMAKE_PATCH_VERSION`
* :variable:`CMAKE_TWEAK_VERSION`
Use the :command:`if` command ``VERSION_LESS``, ``VERSION_EQUAL``, or
``VERSION_GREATER`` operators to compare version string values against
``CMAKE_VERSION`` using a component-wise test. Version component
values may be 10 or larger so do not attempt to compare version
strings as floating-point numbers.
.. note::
CMake versions prior to 2.8.2 used three components for the
feature level and had no bug-fix component. Release versions
used an even-valued second component, i.e.
``<major>.<even-minor>.<patch>[-rc<n>]``. Development versions
used an odd-valued second component with the development date as
the third component, i.e. ``<major>.<odd-minor>.<date>``.
The ``CMAKE_VERSION`` variable is defined by CMake 2.6.3 and higher.
Earlier versions defined only the individual component variables.
