The -T parameter to CMake may now be specified through cmake-gui via a
new text field in the first-time configure wizard (below the generator
chooser).
The generator factories specify whether or not they support toolsets.
This information is propagated to the Qt code and used to determine if
the selected generator should also display the optional Toolset widgets.

Also add GTK2_TARGETS variable containing all imported targets.
Previously, the GTK2_LIBRARIES variable was filled with the paths to the
libraries, and only the GTK2_XXX_LIBRARY variables contained the imported
targets.
Multiple languages for SLAs and the SLA UI can be added via the CPack
variables CPACK_DMG_SLA_DIR and CPACK_DMG_SLA_LANGUAGES. For each
language defined in the languages variable, CPack will search for
<language>.menu.txt and <language>.license.txt in CPACK_DMG_SLA_DIR.
If the sla directory variable is not defined, the old behaviour using
CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE is retained.
This module was added by commit v2.6.0~1489 (...supporting embedded
compilers..., 2007-07-02) to avoid needing to build the compiler id
detection source on toolchains that need special flags or linker files
to produce executables. Since then CMake has learned other ways to
identify such compilers (e.g. passing vendor-specific version flags and
checking for vendor-specific banners in the output). Furthermore, CMake
now detects a lot more than just the compiler id during language
initialization in order to support things like <LANG>_STANDARD and
COMPILE_FEATURES. Therefore CMakeForceCompiler is no longer a viable
approach because it skips such detection.
One remaining challenge to support toolchains that require special
linker files is to build the test for a working compiler, compiler ABI
detection binary, and other try_compile cases. This will have to be
worked out as such cases are encountered.
The change made by commit v3.4.0-rc1~342^2 (Factor an <INCLUDES>
placeholder out of <FLAGS> in rule variables, 2015-07-13) affects an
internal interface. Since it is commonly used by projects anyway, add a
release note covering the change in placeholders.
Starting with sigc++ 2.5.1, c++11 must be enabled in order to use
sigc++. The GTK2::sigc++ imported target will automatically enable the
required build flags in order to build with the version found on the
system.
Move all development release notes into a new version-specific document:
tail -q -n +3 Help/release/dev/* > Help/release/3.4.rst
git rm -- Help/release/dev/*
except the sample topic:
git checkout HEAD -- Help/release/dev/0-sample-topic.rst
Reference the new document from the release notes index document.
Add a title and intro sentence to the new document by hand.
Teach the VS 2015 generator to produce a WindowsTargetPlatformVersion
value. Use the CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION to specify the version and if not
set choose a default based on available SDKs. Activate this behavior
when targeting Windows 10.

Some commands on Windows do not understand forward slash paths and
require backslashes. In order to help projects generate shell
invocations of such commands, provide a generator expression to convert
paths to the shell-preferred path format for the current generator.
This will allow custom commands to generate paths the same way CMake
does for compiler command invocations.
The changes in commit 47b060ae (CPackDeb: allow empty directories in
component packages, 2015-09-21), commit b58de9fe (CPack: allow packaging
of empty directories, 2015-09-21), and commit b761e90d (CPack: remove
accidental changes, 2015-09-22) regressed packaging of CMake itself.
Revert the changes until they can be revised and rebased on other
changes that make additional fixes.

The changes in commit c96fe0b4 (cmake: Add -W options to control
deprecation warnings and errors, 2015-07-28) fail to account for
-Wdev warnings produced by places in CMake other than message().
This causes a regression in which -Wno-dev fails to suppress such
warnings. Revert the feature until it can be revised accordingly.
