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.

The Concurrent Fortran compiler (ccur.com) is available on Linux and can
be used much like the GNU Fortran compiler. Currently it has no
preprocessor symbols to identify it so we need to detect it by matching
compiler output.

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.
The most likely documentation page a project author will read in
response to a policy warning is the page for the policy itself.
Add to every policy documentation page a note explicitly stating
that the OLD behavior is deprecated. Also mention this in the
cmake_policy() command documentation that explains how to set a
policy to OLD.

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.
When documenting in the COMMAND option how to reference an executable,
we previously only explicitly covered how to do it for argv[0] and left
it to the reader to follow the reference to the generator expressions
manual. Add explicit mention of the TARGET_FILE genex in this
documentation since it will be a commonly used generator expression in
this context.
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.
Move all development release notes into a new version-specific document:
tail -q -n +3 Help/release/dev/* > Help/release/3.3.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.
