Move all development release notes into a new version-specific document:
tail -q -n +3 Help/release/dev/* > Help/release/3.6.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.
d256ba07 try_compile: Optionally forward custom platform variables to test project
fb4791b3 cmCoreTryCompile: Refactor forwarding of variables to test project
Add a `CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES` variable to specify a list
of custom variables to be forwarded to a `try_compile` test project.
This will be useful for platform information modules or toolchain files
to forward some platform-specific set of variables from the host project
(perhaps set in its cache) to the test project so that it can build the
same way.
c1340827 Add a variable to specify language-wide system include directories
44199097 cmMakefile: Optimize AddSystemIncludeDirectories for empty set
a896043b GHS: Compute include directories consistently with other generators
Create a `CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` variable to specify
system include directories for for `<LANG>` compiler command lines.
This plays a role for include directories as the existing
`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_LIBRARIES` variable does for link libraries.
Prevent accidental inter component dependency setting
since this is a breaking feature in situations where
another CPack module is already using the feature.
It should be enabled if desired since it can cause
issues when upgrading only one of the components
for e.g. configuration instead of all the components
at once.
This patch preserves backward compatibility of
deb package names with previous CMake versions
but similarly to CPack/RPM allows to change
package name format and supports DEB-DEFAULT
setting that produces proper Debian package names.

Even though the `file(GLOB)` documentation specifically warns against
using it to collect a list of source files, projects often do it anyway.
Since it uses `readdir()`, the list of files will be unsorted.
This list is often passed directly to add_executable / add_library.
Linking binaries with an unsorted list will make it unreproducible,
which means that the produced binary will differ depending on the
unpredictable `readdir()` order.
To solve those reproducibility issues in a lot of programs (which don't
explicitly `list(SORT)` the list manually), sort the resulting list of
the `file(GLOB)` command.
A more detailed rationale about reproducible builds is available
[here](https://reproducible-builds.org/).
Add a `CMAKE_NINJA_OUTPUT_PATH_PREFIX` variable. When it is set, CMake
generates a `build.ninja` file suitable for embedding into another ninja
project potentially generated by an alien generator.
Packagers may now set their own rpm package
file names or request that rpmbuild tool
chooses one for them. It also supports handing
of situations where one spec file may produce
multiple rpm packages.
The `--build` mode was confusingly documented among other options,
falsely implying that it can be used anywhere on the command line.
Move the documentation to a dedicated section and clarify its usage
as s separate command line mode.
Since commit v3.3.0-rc1~430^2 (Teach find_(library|file|path) to get
prefixes from PATH, 2015-02-18) we search in <prefix>/include and
<prefix>/lib directories for prefixes with bin directories in the PATH
environment variable. The motivation was to support MSYS, MinGW and
similar Windows platforms in their default environments automatically.
At the time this behavior was thought to be worthwhile in general.

Teach the `add_custom_command` and `add_custom_target' commands to
substitute argv0 with the crosscompiling emulator if it is a target with
the `CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` property set.
In Sphinx output formats that print the toctree the policy numbers in
links from the cmake-policies(7) manual are not descriptive. Convert
the toctree entries to cross-reference syntax and add the summary of
each policy. For now simply duplicate the policy summary line. We
already maintain copies in `cmPolicies.h` and `Help/policy/*.rst` docs.

Versions below 12.1 do not provide enough information to properly detect
if compiling with c++98 or c++0x enabled so remove them from the
supported list.
