Brad King 52e7beb6ab Help: Expand documentation of CMAKE_VERSION and related variables
Describe the meaning of each version component in more detail in the
documentation of CMAKE_VERSION.  Simplify the per-component version
variable documentation by referencing the main variable.

Include information about how to compare version strings.  Also add
an historical note about the version scheme used prior to commit
v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support branchy workflow,
2010-04-23).

Brad King ccc8704777 Help: Add documents to collect notes between releases
Add a release/dev.txt file and include it from release/index.rst in
development versions.  Add a "Changes Since Release" section with a
toctree that globs adjacent "dev/*" documents.  Add a sample topic
document explaining how topic-specific release note documents work.

This approach will allow developers to write release notes for their
changes as they are made.  The release manager may then consolidate and
organize the notes for a specific release version.

Brad King 70309e7083 Help: Add documents for release notes

Alex Merry 635e96dde2 Help: Be clearer about which header files are considered for AUTOMOC
The old documentation stated that "all header files" were considered,
which was not true for any sensible definition of "all header files".
Only header files with certain names are considered.

Document the filename patterns matched for parsing.

how to disable it.

Brad King 7e142c5ac2 project: Manage VERSION variables
Teach the project() command to set variables

  {PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK}

holding the project version number and its components.  Add project()
command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default
to the empty string when it is not given.

Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change
behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves
prior to calling project().  Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility.

Brad King 16d040c958 project: Add optional LANGUAGES keyword

keyword after the project name and prior to the list of languages.
Do not allow multiple copies of the keyword.  If the keyword is
specified and no languages are listed, imply NONE.

Stephen Kelly e00db59d6c QNX: Introduce QCC compiler id for that QNX platform compiler.
Introduce policy CMP0047 to control resetting the id for
compatibility.

De-duplicate content in the QNX platform file by including the GNU
one. QNX is a form of GNU platform.

Do not clear CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_${lang}_FLAGS variables.  They
are populated again later by the Compiler/GNU.cmake file anyway.

Modify the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_OBJECT variable only when the QCC
compiler id is in use, and the language is CXX.  Use the QNX
recommended flag for QCC instead of the gcc compatible -x flag.

Populate new module files to handle system includes and depfiles
when using the QCC compiler.

Remove code which unsets the system include and depfiles related
variables.  When a GNU driver is used instead of the QCC one, the
appropriate flags will be used.  These variables were previously
cleared for lowest-common-denominator compatibility with both
drivers.
