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.
This generalizes the previous CMakeFiles/LabelFiles.txt created at the
top of the build tree to a CMakeFiles/TargetDirectories.txt file. It
lists the target support directories for all targets in the project.
Labels can still be loaded by looking for Labels.txt files in each
target directory.
During testing of the new message() signatures I mistakenly concluded
that SEND_ERROR stops processing. The corresponding commit enforced
this wrong behavior. This restores the correct behavior and fixes the
documentation accordingly.
Man page preformatted text needs an extra newline after the ending
marker to create a paragraph break. This bug was introduced by the
patch from issue #7797 to place explicit ".nf" and ".fi" markers around
preformatted blocks.
This teaches the command to interpret relative paths with respect to the
location of the invoking CMakeLists.txt file. The convention is already
used by most commands and won't change the behavior in script mode.
This moves the version numbers into an isolated configured header so
that not all of CMake needs to rebuild when the version changes.
Previously we had spaces, dashes and/or the word 'patch' randomly chosen
before the patch number. Now we always report version numbers in the
traditional format "<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<rc>]".
We still use odd minor numbers for development versions. Now we also
use the CCYYMMDD date as the patch number of development versions, thus
allowing tests for exact CMake versions.
