Merge the release branch into master to get its version number, tags,
and ChangeLog. Revert the version on master from 2.9 back to 2.8.
Future releases will be prepared directly in master.
This is the starting point for a branchy workflow based on one described
by the "git help workflows" man page. New development will be done on
local topic branches. Topics will be published by merging them into one
of the integration branches:
maint = Maintenance of previous release
master = Preparation of future release
next = Development of features ("next" to be merged into master)
In order to bootstrap the topic-based workflow from here, all changes in
master since the 2.8 release branch started will either be included in
the next release or reverted and recreated on a topic branch.
For builds from Git repositories, add "-g<commit>" to the end of the
version number. If the source tree is modified, append "-dirty".
For builds from CVS checkouts, add "-cvs-<branch>".
Prepare to switch to the workflow described by "git help workflows". In
this workflow, the "master" branch is always used to integrate topics
ready for release. Brand new work merges into a "next" branch instead.
We need a new versioning scheme to work this way because the version on
"master" must always increase.
We no longer use an even/odd minor number to distinguish releases from
development versions. Since we still support cvs checkout of our source
tree we cannot depend on "git describe" to compute a version number
based on the history graph. We can use the CCYYMMDD nightly date stamp
to get a monotonically increasing version component.
The new version format is "major.minor.patch.(tweak|date)". Releases
use a tweak level in the half-open range [0,20000000), which is smaller
than any current or future date. For tweak=0 we do not show the tweak
component, leaving the format "major.minor.patch" for most releases.
Development versions use date=CCYYMMDD for the tweak level. The
major.minor.patch part of development versions on "master" always
matches the most recent release.
For example, a first-parent traversal of "master" might see
v2.8.1 2.8.1.20100422 v2.8.2
| | |
----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----
Since the date appears in the tweak component, the next release can
increment the patch level (or any more significant component) to be
greater than any version leading to it. Topic branches not ready for
release are published only on "next" so we know that all versions on
master lead between two releases.
If defined and non-empty, the value of CMAKE_TESTS_CDASH_SERVER should point
to a CDash server willing to accept submissions for a project named
PublicDashboard. On machines that also run a CDash dashboard, set this
variable to "http://localhost/CDash-trunk-Testing" so that the CMake tests
that submit dashboards do not have to send those submissions over the wire.
The CTestSubmitLargeOutput test runs a dashboard that has a test that produces
very large amount of output on stdout/stderr. Since we do not even want to
attempt to send such large output over the wire, this test is off by default
unless the CMAKE_TESTS_CDASH_SERVER server is localhost. This test is expected
to cause a submission failure when sent to CDash. It passes if the submit
results contain error output. It fails if the submit succeeds.
CMAKE_TESTS_CDASH_SERVER: CDash server used by CMake/Tests.
If not defined or "", this variable defaults to the server at
http://www.cdash.org/CDash.
If set explicitly to "NOTFOUND", curl tests and ctest tests that use the
network are skipped.
If set to something starting with "http://localhost/", the CDash is expected
to be an instance of CDash used for CDash testing, pointing to a
cdash4simpletest database. In these cases, the CDash dashboards should be
run first.
We disallow try_run() when CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES is set
because the binary might not be able to run on the host architecture.
This prevents us from creating ppc test binaries on i386 Mac machines
that cause Rosetta install dialogs to appear.
We create option CMake_TEST_INSTALL to enable a new CMake.Install test.
It tests running the "make install" target to install CMake itself into
a test directory. We enable the option by default for dashboard builds.
We configure an EnforceConfig.cmake script to load at CTest time.
Previously we loaded it from Tests/CTestTestfile.cmake, but now we load
it from the top level so it applies to all tests.
CMake 2.8.0 and below use the EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH setting from the
top-level CMakeLists.txt file to compute the location of the "cmake"
target for the special case of installing cmake over itself.
The commit "Clean up CMake build tree 'bin' directory" moved the setting
of EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH that affects the "cmake" target into the
Source subdirectory. This broke the special-case lookup in the top
level. We fix it by setting EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH at the end of the
top-level CMakeLists.txt file. Now that we use add_subdirectory to
process the subdirectories in order, this setting does not affect the
subdirectories. Thus we fix installation while preserving the clean
build tree 'bin' directory intended by the above-mentioned commit.
We switch CMake's own top-level CMakeLists.txt file to use the modern
add_subdirectory() command instead of the old subdirs() command. This
enables in-order processing.
We re-arrange EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH settings to avoid putting utility
and test executables in the 'bin' directory of the build tree. This
makes the directory look like that in the installation tree, except that
on multi-configuration generators we still use a per-config
subdirectory.
The commit "Cleanup regular expressions" removed real include filter
expressions and replaced them with lines like
INCLUDE_REGULAR_EXPRESSION("^.*$")
that do no filtering. We simplify the change by removing the lines
altogether.
This allows for a built in bzip and zip capability, so external tools
will not be needed for these packagers. The cmake -E tar xf should be
able to handle all compression types now as well.
This commit fixes permissions of Modules/SquishRunTestCase.sh after
installation. Previously install() removed executable permissions.
Patch from Modestas Vainius. See issue #9659.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
This commit adds KWSys configuration option KWSYS_INSTALL_DOC_DIR to
specify the directory for installation of documentation. We use it to
put the KWSys Copyright.txt file at the location
${KWSYS_INSTALL_DOC_DIR}/${KWSYS_NAMESPACE}/Copyright.txt
in the project installation tree. This helps containing projects meet
the license requirement to distribute the copyright and license with
binary forms.
CMake 2.4 generates old-style cmake_install.cmake code including calls
to the file(INSTALL) command with the COMPONENTS argument. We need to
set CMAKE_INSTALL_SELF_2_4 for the whole install tree to prevent the
command from complaining in this special case. Previously this was
needed only in the QtDialog directory, but now it is needed in the
entire tree.
This removes the file-wise installation rules for Modules and Templates
and instead installs the whole directories. This approach is much less
error-prone. The old approach was left from before CMake had the
install(DIRECTORY) command.
We've chosen to drop our default dependence on xmlrpc. Thus we disable
the corresponding CTest submission method and remove the sources for
building xmlrpc locally. Users can re-enable the method by setting the
CTEST_USE_XMLRPC option to use a system-installed xmlrpc library.
This version of curl was added experimentally but does not address the
problem we were hoping it fixed (an occasional upload hang). Importing
a new curl can wait until the problem is fully diagnosed and addressed.
Previously we disallowed use of system libraries if FindXMLRPC.cmake was
not available. Now that CMake 2.4 is required to build, the module is
always available. This change simplifies the logic accordingly.
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.
