This fixes several reported bugs about CMake not handling
non-ascii paths on Windows.
Practically, the use of some unicode characters may still
be limited by the build or compiler tools.
For example, a user may be limited by the build tools to
using characters within the Windows ANSI code page (which can
include non-ascii characters in the current system language).

AppleClang does not support the cxx_thread_local feature, even
though it is based on a Clang version which does support the
feature.
http://stackoverflow.com/a/23850891/2428389
A possible reason for that is that thread_local might be used as
a variable in existing Apple SDK headers.
Extend the WriteCompilerDetectionHeader module to generate a define
for that feature with portability fallbacks. For the avoidance of
making it easy to write code which looks correct but which has odd
runtime behavior, don't set the define symbol at all if no
equivalent keyword is known.

b341799e Tests: Fix RunCMake.CompileFeatures test NonValidTarget2 case
The change in commit v3.1.0-rc1~174^2 (Makefile: Handle '#' in
COMPILE_OPTIONS, 2014-08-12) was not compatible with code that
tries to workaround the original bug. Unfortunately there is no
good way to fix the bug in a compatible way. Add a release note
to call attention to the change.
On OS X, when CMAKE_USE_OPENSSL is OFF, use the OS implementation.
This will allow the OS-configured CA list to be trusted automatically.
This is supported on OS X 10.6 and above using AppleClang, Clang, and
GNU compilers.
Also add a 'CMAKE_ANDROID_API_MIN' variable to set the property
default. Teach the VS generator to write the MIN API value into
Nsight Tegra project files.
When install(EXPORT) is given an absolute destination we cannot compute
the install prefix relative to the installed export file location.
Previously we disallowed installation of targets in such exports with a
relative destination, but did not enforce this for target property
values besides the location of the main target file. This could lead to
broken installations when the EXPORT is installed to an absolute path
but usage requirements are specified relative to the install prefix.
Since an EXPORT installed to an absolute destination cannot be relocated
we can just hard-code the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as the base for
relative paths. This will allow absolute install(EXPORT) destinations
to work with relative destinations for targets and usage requirements.
Extend the ExportImport test with a case covering this behavior.
If this option is enabled, the test step is created with the
EXCLUDE_FROM_MAIN option, and if TEST_BEFORE_INSTALL is enabled, the
install step does not depend on the test step.
This means that the test step is never executed, unless the test target
is explicitly created by calling ExternalProject_Add_StepTarget, or by
passing it with the STEP_TARGETS option, or with the EP_STEP_TARGETS
directory property.
The FindXerces module was added in commit v3.1.0-rc1~155^2 (FindXerces:
New module to find Apache Xerces-C++, 2014-08-17). However, there are
two implementations of Xerces, one in C++:
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/
and one in Java:
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-j/
Rename FindXerces to FindXercesC to clarify that it is about the C++
implementation.
While at it, add the missing CMake 3.1 release note about this module.

Copy CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS into the test project generated by
try_compile, just like we already copy CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS.
Add CMake Policy CMP0056 to activate this behavior in a compatible way,
but do not warn by default when the policy is not set since it will
affect all try_compile calls.
Extend the RunCMake.try_compile test with a case covering this behavior
for each policy setting.
With PushScope and PopScope, keeping track of another bit of data for
each scope isn't easy. Instead, store it as another CMake variable so it
gets implicitly tracked along with everything else.
This works in a revert of commit
7d674b5f0b.
Add a VS_DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION source file property to specify where to
put files that are part of the package. For example:
set_property(SOURCE ${ASSET_FILES} PROPERTY VS_DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION "assets")
Without this, sources marked with VS_DEPLOYMENT_CONTENT cannot be
located properly.
Create properties VS_SHADER_ENTRYPOINT and VS_SHADER_MODEL. Without
these many .hlsl source files may not be possible to use. Extend the
VSWinStorePhone test project to cover them.
Revert the feature added by commit v3.1.0-rc1~420^2~2 (FindOpenGL:
Provide imported targets for GL and GLU, 2014-05-31). Unfortunately it
does not work on Windows because the full path to each library file is
not actually known. The IMPORTED_LOCATION of an imported target must be
a full path, but OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY is just 'opengl32' on Windows because
the actual library file is in some implicit link directory that we may
know know.
More infrastructure will be needed in CMake to allow a name-only
imported library. Until that exists, we will not be able to provide
imported targets in FindOpenGL.
In commit 079e8469ab (... OpenGL always needs X11 on Unix, 2002-09-05)
the FindOpenGL module was taught to search for X11 as a dependency of
the OpenGL library. This was done without a detailed explanation, and
the dependency should not be explicitly needed because OpenGL headers
should not expose applications to X11 APIs directly.
Unfortunately the only way to know if anything legitimately depends on
this behavior (perhaps in static library cases) is to simply remove it
and wait for issues to be reported. If so, then we can add some kind of
compatibility setting for this later. Add a release note to draw
attention to this change.

Some applications only need the OpenSSL crypto library and want to avoid
linking against the SSL library. Set OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY and
OPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY in the code paths that do not need to find them
separately, and document them publicly. This allows applications to be
more specific when linking against OpenSSL.

Delay use of CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET until the CMakeSystem.cmake
file has been configured and loaded during the first project() or
enable_language() command. This gives the toolchain file named by
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE a chance to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET. This
point is still early enough to set the generator toolset prior to
the initialization of any languages that might use the toolset.
The cmake::GeneratorToolset member variable remains an indication
of what was specified by the -T option or loaded from the cache.
It does not need to be updated based on the toolchain file setting.
The cmMakefile::TryCompile can still pass cmake::GeneratorToolset
into the inner instance because the try-compiled project will do
platform and language initialization using the CMakeSystem module
configured for the outer project.
Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test with cases that use a
toolchain file to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET.
The ALLOWED_UNKNOWN_VARIABLE_READ_ACCESS access type was switched on an

Allow setting build properties based on the features available

Warn project developers at runtime that the module should not be used
anymore. Issue the diagnostic only when the project requires a new
enough CMake to use the alternative. Honor the
CMAKE_(ERROR|WARN)_DEPRECATED settings.
Allow directories in the source tree or build tree only if the

as appropriate.
Re-use the test files in the RunCMake.include_directories test
to run in multiple scenarios. Bump the required CMake version

This can be used to set the compiler features required by particular
targets. An error is issued at CMake time if the compiler does not

there is an attempt to use it in other contexts.
This commit may be reverted in the future if a solution to the
above difference is implemented.
Remove use of UseObjectLibraries from Makefile and Ninja generators. It
is not needed now because those generators use GetExternalObjects
which already contains the objects from object libraries.
The VS10 generator calls both the UseObjectLibraries and the GetExternalObjects
methods. Ensure that duplicates are not created by skipping objects
from object libraries in handling of GetExternalObjects.
Similarly, fix VS6, VS7 and Xcode object handling by skipping
external objects from OBJECT_LIBRARY usage as appropriate.
The error message in the BadSourceExpression1 test is now reported
by the generator expression evaluator, so it has different text.
Not everything that isn't MSVC is GCC. I have support for LDC's depfile

Historically CMake used three version components for the feature level.
We released new features while incrementing only the third version
component. Since commit v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support
branchy workflow, 2010-04-23) we used the fourth version component for
bug-fix releases and the development date:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>[.<tweak>][-rc<n>] = Release
<major>.<minor>.<patch>.<date>[-<id>] = Development
This solidified use of three components for the feature level, and was
necessary to continue releasing 2.x versions because:
* Some existing projects performed floating-point comparisons of
${CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION}.${CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION} to 2.x numbers
so ``x`` could never be higher than 9.
* Version 2.9.<date> was used briefly in post-2.8.0 development in
CVS prior to the transition to Git, so using it in releases may
have caused confusion.
Now that we are moving to 3.x versions, these two restrictions go away.
Therefore we now change to use only two components for the feature
level and use the scheme:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<n>] = Release
<major>.<minor>.<date>[-<id>] = Development
When building boost with an alternate namespace the libraries generated
will have a different naming convention. This is often done to ensure
no symbol conflicts with external libraries built against a different
version of boost. If the namespace used is "myprivateboost::" instead
of "boost::" then the libraries built will be named myprivateboost_foo
instead of boost_foo. Add an option to specify a custom namespace used
to alter the library names that get searched for.
Manually read through version control history since the 2.8.12.2

Add a release/dev.txt file and include it from release/index.rst in
development versions. Add a "Changes Since Release" section with a

document explaining how topic-specific release note documents work.
This approach will allow developers to write release notes for their

organize the notes for a specific release version.
Add a release/index.rst document titled "CMake Release Notes" to hold
