Move all development release notes into a new version-specific document:
tail -q -n +3 Help/release/dev/* > Help/release/3.4.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.
Teach the VS 2015 generator to produce a WindowsTargetPlatformVersion
value. Use the CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION to specify the version and if not
set choose a default based on available SDKs. Activate this behavior
when targeting Windows 10.

Some commands on Windows do not understand forward slash paths and
require backslashes. In order to help projects generate shell
invocations of such commands, provide a generator expression to convert
paths to the shell-preferred path format for the current generator.
This will allow custom commands to generate paths the same way CMake
does for compiler command invocations.
The changes in commit 47b060ae (CPackDeb: allow empty directories in
component packages, 2015-09-21), commit b58de9fe (CPack: allow packaging
of empty directories, 2015-09-21), and commit b761e90d (CPack: remove
accidental changes, 2015-09-22) regressed packaging of CMake itself.
Revert the changes until they can be revised and rebased on other
changes that make additional fixes.

The changes in commit c96fe0b4 (cmake: Add -W options to control
deprecation warnings and errors, 2015-07-28) fail to account for
-Wdev warnings produced by places in CMake other than message().
This causes a regression in which -Wno-dev fails to suppress such
warnings. Revert the feature until it can be revised accordingly.
If variable is set to TRUE, values of all variables prefixed with CPACK_
will be escaped so special characters such as dolar sign, quotes or
foreward slash will not be lost. By default variable is treated as set
to FALSE for back compatibility.
The cpack_encode_variables macro is changed into a function to remove
scope pollution. There should be no other effects.
Add ctest command-line options:
--test-output-size-passed <n>
--test-output-size-failed <n>
to set the amount of test output to store in Test.xml as a command-line
dashboard client.

The calls to find_program now use NAMES_PER_DIR so that the first executable
(e.g. h5pcc) appearing on their PATH will get chosen. The HDF5_PREFER_PARALLEL
variable swaps the search order when it is set to true in the event that a
directory being search contains both h5cc and h5pcc.
Mangling is prevented by using a function instead of a macro for setting
default value of some CPack variables. Function is meant for internal use
in CPack.cmake only.
Old macro is deprecated but kept for backwards compatibility - was
intended for internal use only as it can't be used for CPack after
CPack.cmake script is included.
Patch removes local workarounds that were required by old macro,
fixes default setting of variables that by default inherit value from
another variable that already went through old default setting macro
(e.g. value of CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY caused error for
wrong escapes if CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY contained escaped
back slashes) and provides a test for correct escaping of characters.

Add an OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS option to enable it. Adjust
CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES to only look for .a and .lib files. Also
adjust the search paths on Windows for installer locations of static
libraries.
Provide each variant in ZLIB_LIBRARIES and ZLIB::ZLIB imported location
properties when one is found, while maintaining support for manually
setting the library via ZLIB_LIBRARY.
When more than one value is given to the NAMES option this command by
default will consider one name at a time and search every directory for
it. Add a NAMES_PER_DIR option to tell this command to consider one
directory at a time and search for all names in it.
In the get_filename_component command, add a new BASE_DIR parameter to
use with the ABSOLUTE and REALPATH options. This will be used when
finding an absolute path from a relative path.
If {ARCHIVE,LIBRARY,RUNTIME}_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is set with a genex then
do not add the per-config subdirectory on multi-config generators.
This will allow projects to use $<CONFIG> to place the per-config
part of the directory path somewhere other than the end.
if(TEST TestNameThatExists) will return true if a test with the name
TestNameThatExists has been added with add_test. The syntax is similar
to if(TARGET TargetName). Since use of "TEST" as an argument to if()
could previously be interpreted as a non-keyword argument, add policy
CMP0064 to treat it as a keyword as NEW behavior.
Refactor the -Wdev and -Wno-dev to use a generic -W parser that follows
the GCC pattern. Include support for setting CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED and
CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED via the deprecated warning. Add -Werror=dev and
-Wno-error=dev options so that dev warning options are in line with
deprecated warning options. Use a new CMAKE_SUPPRESS_DEVELOPER_ERRORS
internal cache entry to store the above new dev options persistently.
Add tests for new options and updated cmake documentation and release
notes to list new options.
The --trace option is helpful, but sometimes, what you're looking for is
deep under many layers of function calls and figuring out what instance
of the function call you're looking at is tedious to determine (usually
involving patching and message()). Instead, add a --trace-expand option
to trace while expanding commands into what CMake actually sees.
Extend the Nsight Tegra project generator to add bunch of properties
with the backing variables to fine-tune the generated projects.
Add target properties that map to all "Configuration" PropertyGroups for
each configuration:
* ANDROID_ARCH
* ANDROID_STL_TYPE
Add target properties that map to the AntBuild section of vcxproj files:
* ANDROID_ANT_ADDITIONAL_OPTIONS
* ANDROID_ASSETS_DIRECTORIES
* ANDROID_JAR_DEPENDENCIES
* ANDROID_JAR_DIRECTORIES
* ANDROID_JAVA_SOURCE_DIR
* ANDROID_NATIVE_LIB_DEPENDENCIES
* ANDROID_NATIVE_LIB_DIRECTORIES
* ANDROID_PROCESS_MAX
* ANDROID_PROGUARD
* ANDROID_PROGUARD_CONFIG_PATH
* ANDROID_SECURE_PROPS_PATH
* ANDROID_SKIP_ANT_STEP

Allow the `Swift` language to be enabled with the Xcode generator for
Xcode >= 6.1. Reject it on other generators and with older Xcode
versions. Since Apple is the only vendor implementing the language
right now, the compiler id can be just `Apple`.
Added new USES_TERMINAL option to the ExternalProject_Add_Step
function. This option passes USES_TERMINAL to the underlying
add_custom_command call so that the Ninja console pool is used.
Also, corresponding new USES_TERMINAL_<step> options were added
to the ExternalProject_Add function.
Justification: if using Ninja with a CMake superbuild, it's often
desirable to limit the superbuild to ONE sub-Ninja process at a
time to avoid oversubscribing the CPU. Using the console pool also
makes it easy to monitor the progress of the sub-Ninja process.
Independent USES_TERMINAL_<step> arguments are passed to
ExternalProject_Add instead of one USES_TERMINAL argument that
controls everything. Users may wish to run some steps in parallel
but not others (e.g. parallelize configure but not build).
Create target property WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS to automatically
generate a module definition file from MS-compatible .obj files and give
it to the linker in order to export all symbols from the .dll part of a
SHARED library.
Add a TestLoad setting to CTest that can be set via a new --test-load
command-line option, CTEST_TEST_LOAD variable, or TEST_LOAD option to
the ctest_test command. Teach cmCTestMultiProcessHandler to measure
the CPU load and avoid starting tests that may take more than the
spare load currently available. The expression
<current_load> + <test_processors> <= <max-load>
must be true to start a new test.

Create a <LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER target property (initialized by a
CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER variable) to specify a compiler launcher
tool. This will supersede the CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ARG1 approach to
using such tools. The old approach set CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER to the
launcher tool while the new approach leaves this variable set to the
actual compiler.
Implement this property for Makefile and Ninja generators. It cannot be
implemented for VS or Xcode generators as the IDE build tools offer no
such hooks.
Revert commit v3.3.0-rc1~435^2 (Windows-GNU: Do not tell find_library to
treat '.dll' as linkable, 2015-02-18). MinGW tools support linking to
'.dll' files directly and many non-CMake build systems still do not
provide a separate '.dll.a' file.
The test for this variable was removed in commit v2.8.8~330^2~7 (complex:
Remove ancient unused ComplexRelativePaths test, 2011-12-23).
Commit v3.1.0-rc1~425^2~2 (backtrace: Convert to local paths in
IssueMessage, 2014-03-12) appears to have accidentally made some backtraces
print relative paths with the variable because conversions which used to be
done at configure time, before the variable had an effect are now potentially
done at generate time.
The documentation of the variable says not to use it, and the docs are wrong in
that the variable actually applies in per-directory scope.
The read of the variable makes it harder to split conversion methods from
cmLocalGenerator where they don't belong. Remove it now.
Add section headers similar to the 3.2 release notes and move each
individual bullet into an appropriate section. Revise and consolidate
some bullets covering related areas.
