Since commit 7d47c693 (Drop compatibility with CMake < 2.4, 2013-10-08)
we no longer need to use the configure_file IMMEDIATE option to support
compatibility modes less than 2.0.
Allow ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES to be empty if a value for
ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES is provided. Assume in this use case that
the object stores will already contain all needed objects. Extend the
Module.ExternalData test to cover this case (all objects in stores).
Extend the RunCMake.ExternalData test to cover the non-failure message
case when stores are provided without URL templates.
3bade75 Help: Parse Copyright.txt instead of using current year
2bbf6bd Copyright.txt: Add test to check year range
3ee67d0 Copyright.txt: Update year range to end in 2013

993b685 bootstrap: Parse Copyright.txt instead of duplicating notice
Configure our Sphinx conf.py with a copyright line extracted from
Copyright.txt instead of using the year in which the documentation is
built. This will future-proof the reported copyright year range when
building documentation for old versions.
Add a CMake.Copyright test that, when the CMake version number knows the
year (as it does in development versions), checks that Copyright.txt has
been updated with the current version year.
Always name the application bundle "CMake.app". Users can rename it
after installation if they wish. This is the typical approach used by
OS X applications, including Xcode. It allows CMake to be upgraded
without manually re-running CMake in every build tree to update the path
to CMake. It also makes the executable location in the CMake build tree
more predicatable.
Remove the version number from the default package install destination.
An unversioned default allows users to upgrade their CMake installations
without manually re-generating all their build trees to update the path
to CMake. Users can select a versioned directory name on installation
if they wish.
Also name the package with the full CMake version number so it is clear
exactly what version is going to be installed. This is particularly
helpful for the nightly binary installers.
Now that we use Sphinx to generate the documentation there is a single
entry point to link from the start menu. Drop all the (now broken)
links to the individual html document pages and provide a single link to
the index.html "CMake Documentation" entry point.
Manually revise the .rst format of the documentation. Use inline
literal quotes appropriately in paragraph text. Move the :: literal
block openers to the end of the preceding paragraphs. Convert the
command signature documentation and examples to cmake code-block
directives.
Refactor edit_cache tool selection to ask each global generator for its
preference. Teach the Ninja generator to always use cmake-gui because
Ninja by design cannot run interactive terminal dialogs like ccmake.
Teach the Makefile generator to use cmake-gui when also using an "extra"
generator whose IDE has no terminal to run ccmake, and otherwise fall
back to CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND selection for normal Makefile build systems.
dcac9be Make accessors for compile-related information const.
19a8a3c cmTarget: Don't finalize include directories in GetIncludeDirectories.
3305364 cmGlobalGenerator: Rename the FinalizeCompileDefinitions method.
Rename cmSystemTools::FindExecutableDirectory to FindCMakeResources.
Teach it to compute the locations of cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake, and
cmake-gui executables, and the location of CMAKE_ROOT. Provide this
information from static cmSystemTools::Get<resource>() methods.
Refactor code that needs these locations to use the new APIs.
Teach FindCMakeResources to use the OS X system API to lookup the
executable location. When running from the CMake build tree itself,
leave a file in the tree that FindCMakeResources can use to read the
location of the source tree. This avoids the need to compile the source
tree location into a binary that may be installed and used without the
source tree.
Teach the QtDialog on OS X to create a "cmake-gui" symlink in the build
tree next to "cmake" and the other tools, as is already done in the
install tree for the application bundle. This ensures a consistent set
of executables are available in one directory.
Split the test cases covering spaces and colons into separate units.
Run the space cases everywhere. Disable the colon cases where they
are known to fail. This approach increases platform coverage for the
test and makes the known-failure logic as local as possible.
No Makefile generator on Windows can generate targets with ':'
in their name because the CMakeFiles/<target>.dir directory cannot
be created. Skip this part of the test on all Windows Make tools.
Replace the std::map<>::clear() method with one that first deletes
the cmExportSet instances held by each map entry, and then clears.
Otherwise the cmGlobalGenerator::ClearGeneratorMembers added by
commit 5cf1120f (cmGlobalGenerator: Refactor member cleanup between
configures, 2013-11-04) leaks the cmExportSet instances.
The cmake-language.7 manual now documents comment syntax. Reference it
from cmake-developer.7 when discussing how to add comment-enclosed
documentation to modules.
State in the execute_process how COMMAND arguments are passed to
the child. Add a note at the end about how the command differs
from add_custom_*().
