This creates a new mode of the foreach command which allows precise
iteration even over empty elements. This mode may be safely extended
with more keyword arguments in the future. The cost now is possibly
breaking scripts that iterate over a list of items beginning with 'IN',
but there is no other way to extend the syntax in a readable way.
This creates global property RULE_MESSAGES which can be set to disbale
per-rule progress and action reporting. On Windows, these reports may
cause a noticable delay due to the cost of starting extra processes.
This feature will allow scripted builds to avoid the cost since they do
not need detailed information anyway. This replaces the RULE_PROGRESS
property created earlier as it is more complete. See issue #8726.
This creates global property RULE_PROGRESS which can be set to disbale
per-rule progress reporting. On Windows, progress reports may cause a

need detailed progress anyway. See issue #8726.
Long ago the native build system generators needed HEADER_FILE_ONLY to
be set on header files to stop them from building. The modern
generators correctly handle headers without the help of this property.
This removes automatic setting of the property so that it can be used
reliably as an indicator of project author intention. It fixes VS IDE
project files to show header files normally instead of excluded (broken
by the fix for issue #7845).
This class is the old-style dependency scanner. It is needed only to
implement the output_required_files command. This change removes some
code not needed for that purpose, including a reference to the
HEADER_FILE_ONLY property.
This creates command mode add_test(NAME ...). This signature is
extensible with more keyword arguments later. The main purpose is to
enable automatic replacement of target names with built target file
locations. A side effect of this feature is support for tests that only
run under specific configurations.
This moves code which generates ADD_TEST and SET_TESTS_PROPERTIES calls
into CTestTestfile.cmake files out of cmLocalGenerator and into a
cmTestGenerator class. This will allow more advanced generation without
cluttering cmLocalGenerator. The cmTestGenerator class derives from
cmScriptGenerator to get support for per-configuration script
generation (not yet enabled).
A new cmScriptGenerator base class factors out the non-install-specific
part of cmInstallGenerator. This will be useful for other generators
that want per-configuration functionality.
its system include directories. These are catched in CMakeSystemSpecificInformation.cmake
(only with the Eclipse generator) and then written by the Eclipse generator
in the Eclipse project file. This way Eclipse can find the standard headers

Not sure CMakeSystemSpecificInformation.cmake is the best place to do this.

This property defines a list of values for a cache entry of type STRING.
A CMake GUI may optionally use a drop-down selection widget for the
entry instead of a generic text entry field. We do not enforce that the
value of the entry match one of the strings listed.
This factors out duplicated code into reusable methods, thus simplifying
writing and reading of cache entry help strings, keys, values, and
properties.
This moves the filtering of source files to before the production of
coverage log files in order to avoid producing a CoverageLog-*.xml file
for 100 filtered-out files. The change greatly reduces the number of
submitted coverage files when using label filters.
When performing multiple ctest_coverage() commands in a single CTest
instance we need to clear the list of CoverageLog-*.xml files for
submission. Otherwise if the current coverage run produces fewer log
files than the previous run CTest will attempt to submit non-existing
files.
This teaches ctest_coverage() to remove any existing CoverageLog-*.xml
when it creates new coverage results. Otherwise the next ctest_submit()
may submit old coverage log files which unnecessarily.
This adds the CACHE option to set_property and get_property commands.
This allows full control over cache entry information, so advanced users
can tweak their project cache as desired. The set_property command
allows only pre-defined CACHE properties to be set since others would
not persist anyway.
When a property does not exist we are supposed to return an empty value.
Previously if a property did not exist we just left the value of the
output variable unchanged. This teaches CMake to remove the definition
of the output variable in this case.
This teaches CTest to process coverage information only for object files
in targets containing labels of interest. This change also improves
loading of global coverage information by globbing only in each target
support directory instead of the entire build tree.
