In commit v3.0.0-rc1~9 (Help: Rename 3.0 release notes to 3.0.0,
2014-02-19) we anticipated the possibility of bugfix-only release notes.
However, in practice we have no release notes for bug fix releases
because we do not cover bug fixes in release notes at all, only new
features. Instead we've been updating the feature-level release notes
document in bug fix releases, treating errors in the document as bugs.
It makes more sense to maintain release notes at the feature-release
level, so rename the documents accordingly. Also update the document
titles and intro text to refer only to feature versions and not bugfix
versions.
Add section headers similar to the 3.1 release notes and move each
individual bullet into an appropriate section. Revise and consolidate
some bullets covering related areas.
Co-Author: Stephen Kelly <steveire@gmail.com>
Move all development release notes into a new version-specific document:
tail -q -n +3 Help/release/dev/* > Help/release/3.2.0.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.

Define an empty string in CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_DEFAULT to mean that
the toolchain has no notion of lanuage standard levels. In this case
the <LANG>_STANDARD[_REQUIRED] properties will have no effect.
Update the RunCMake.CompileFeatures test to exclude the
LinkImplementationFeatureCycle test when there is no standard default.
It can never fail because no use of specific features will adjust the
CXX_STANDARD level required for any target since the standard levels
have no meaning in this case.
ab9fa54d Xcode: Switch to internal CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM lookup by generator (#15324)
11e2e6ca Xcode: Select make program at build time
e4055a61 Xcode: Add internal API to find xcodebuild
The "cmakexbuild" wrapper is not needed for Xcode 4 and above, and the
path to it may change when CMake moves. Avoid storing a specific path
to a build program in CMakeCache.txt and instead compute the value for
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM on demand. However, if a user does set the value
explicitly then honor it.
This does for Xcode what commit v3.0.0-rc1~260^2~4 (VS: Switch to
internal CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM lookup by generators, 2013-11-15) did for
Visual Studio generators.
This will make them use the 'console' pool with the Ninja generator.
Impacted targets are:
- Built-in targets: install, install/local, install/strip, tests,
package, package_source, rebuild_cache
- Targets provided by the CTestTargets module: Nightly, Continuous,
Experimental,
and all their variants (*Start, *Configure, ...)
Read file names from the lines of a specified file. Reject input lines

more consistent with that now in target_link_libraries.

When using system curl, we trust it to be configured with desired CA
certs. When using our own build of curl, we use os-configured CA certs
on Windows and OS X. On other systems, try to achieve this by searching
for common CA cert locations. According to a brief investigation, the
curl packages on popular Linux distros are currently configured as:
* Arch: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
* Debian with OpenSSL: /etc/ssl/certs
* Debian with GNU TLS: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
* Debian with NSS: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
* Fedora: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
* Gentoo with OpenSSL: /etc/ssl/certs
* Gentoo without OpenSSL: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
Teach CMake and CTest to look for these paths and use them as a CA path
or bundle when no other os-configured or user-specified CAs are
available.
Provide a function to run gcov and create a tarball of results.
Since CDash tracks the md5sum of the files uploaded, use the
--mtime option with "cmake -E tar" so that tar files could be
created that would have the same md5sum with the same content.
This adds support for the new cdash API where arbitrary files can be
uploaded to the CDash server. This CDash API communicates via json
files so the json parser jsoncpp was added to the Utilities directory.
Add an option to set the mtime of entries in a tarball so that one can
create a tarball with a consistent content hash (e.g. MD5) for a given
set of files regardless of their current timestamps on disk. This will
be useful for submission of tarballs to CDash, which tracks content
hashes to avoid duplication.

Practically, the use of some unicode characters may still

For example, a user may be limited by the build tools to

Support was added in commit v3.1.0-rc1~475^2 (Features: Add support
for C++14 features., 2014-05-06), but the documentation for this
property was not amended.
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.
The use of FeatureSummary inside a find module is not a convention
yet used by upstream CMake modules. Drop the example from the
documentation about how to write find modules. If in the future
we add use of FeatureSummary to many of the upstream find modules
then this example can be restored as part of establishing the
convention.

In commit v3.1.0-rc1~484^2 (Help: Format and revise file() command
documentation, 2014-05-23) the signature of file(GENERATE) was
accidentally simplified too much and dropped specification of the
required argument ordering. Restore the signature to make the order
clear.
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.
An IMPORTED target in either type of package can equally depend on
an IMPORTED target in a Find module, which must be found as a
dependency, which is presumably the problem being implied. This is
not a distinction of creating an IMPORTED target in a Find module.
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.
Provide options to fail without blocking or to block up to a timeout.
Provide options to specify the scope containing the lock so it can be
released automatically at the end of a function, file, or process.
Extend the RunCMake.file test with cases covering the file(LOCK) command
usage and error cases.
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.

ad6ee426 Rename doing_verbatim to doing_nothing
A common idiom in CMake-based build systems is to have custom commands
that generate files not listed explicitly as outputs so that these
files do not have to be newer than the inputs. The file modification
times of such "byproducts" are updated only when their content changes.
Then other build rules can depend on the byproducts explicitly so that
their dependents rebuild when the content of the original byproducts
really does change.
This "undeclared byproduct" approach is necessary for Makefile, VS, and
Xcode build tools because if a byproduct were listed as an output of a
rule then the rule would always rerun when the input is newer than the
byproduct but the byproduct may never be updated.
Ninja solves this problem by offering a 'restat' feature to check
whether an output was really modified after running a rule and tracking
the fact that it is up to date separately from its timestamp. However,
Ninja also stats all dependencies up front and will only restat files
that are listed as outputs of rules with the 'restat' option enabled.
Therefore an undeclared byproduct that does not exist at the start of
the build will be considered missing and the build will fail even if
other dependencies would cause the byproduct to be available before its
dependents build.
CMake works around this limitation by adding 'phony' build rules for
custom command dependencies in the build tree that do not have any
explicit specification of what produces them. This is not optimal
because it prevents Ninja from reporting an error when an input to a
rule really is missing. A better approach is to allow projects to
explicitly specify the byproducts of their custom commands so that no
phony rules are needed for them. In order to work with the non-Ninja
generators, the byproducts must be known separately from the outputs.
Add a new "BYPRODUCTS" option to the add_custom_command and
add_custom_target commands to specify byproducts explicitly. Teach the
Ninja generator to specify byproducts as outputs of the custom commands.
In the case of POST_BUILD, PRE_LINK, and PRE_BUILD events on targets
that link, the byproducts must be specified as outputs of the link rule
that runs the commands. Activate 'restat' for such rules so that Ninja
knows it needs to check the byproducts, but not for link rules that have
no byproducts.
Now that we know the year component of this VS version we
can add it to the generator name. For convenience, map
the name without the year to the name with the year.
Teach the add_custom_command and add_custom_target commands a new
USES_TERMINAL option. Use it to tell the generator to give the command
direct access to the terminal if possible.
Format the reStructuredText markup manually. Organize the command
options into a definition list. Use inline markup to cross-reference
related documents.
string SUBSTRING command now ignores length if it points
past end of string and uses end of string instead.
String SUBSTRING tests now cover more corner cases.

Add support for Sun/Uniforum/GNU gettext libintl. This belongs in CMake
rather than upstream because:
* There are multiple upstreams (Sun, GNU).
* It may or may not be in the glibc C library depending
upon the platform and build options used.
Although we already have a FindGettext module, that is for the tools.
This module is for the library, and is independent because it's
perfectly OK to use libintl without the gettext tools (and vice versa),
and they might not all be found. Add cross references between the two
modules in notes to make the relationship clearer.
