The fix in commit v3.5.0-rc1~84^2 (Xcode: Escape all backslashes in
strings, 2015-12-27) is a change in behavior that can break existing
projects that worked around the inconsistency with other generators.
Add a release note to call attention to this change in behavior.
Implementation indicates that at least two components of VERSION must
be specified (see Source/cmCMakeMinimumRequired.cxx.) Therefore the
minor version is not optional.
The COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX example now sets
INTERFACE_CONTAINER_SIZE_REQUIRED on lib1Version2 and lib1Version3.
Previously set it on lib1Version2 twice and never on lib1Version3.
Previously we did not clearly document that `--target` is only supported
to be specified once. Even worse, specifying it multiple times would
silently ignore any previously specified targets and only build the last
target.
Update the documentation to specify this. Update the implementation to
reject multiple `--target` options to prevent user errors.
Let us take an example of a project that has some tests in a component
that need to be installed into a dedicated test package. The user
expectation is that the result could be achieved by typing the
following:
make
make tests
make install
DESTDIR=/testpkgs make install-tests
However this results in test components in the default installation as
well as the testpkg.
Add an EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL option to the install() command to tell it that
the installation rule should not be included unless its component is
explicitly specified for installation.
Move all development release notes into a new version-specific document:
tail -q -n +3 Help/release/dev/* > Help/release/3.5.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.
Imported targets are now the recommended way of dealing with external
library dependencies. Add one for FindPNG and update documentation
accordingly. Also add a test case activated by CMake_TEST_FindPNG.
Since commit v3.4.0-rc1~5^2~1 (VS: Add support for selecting the Windows
10 SDK, 2015-09-30) the VS 2015 generator requires a Windows 10 SDK to
be available when CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION specifies Windows 10 (e.g. when
building on a Windows 10 host). Howewver, it is possible to install VS
2015 without any Windows 10 SDK. Instead of failing with an error
message about the lack of a Windows 10 SDK, simply tolerate this case
and use the default Windows 8.1 SDK. Since building for Windows Store
still requires the SDK, retain the diagnostic in that case.
Since this command was introduced in 2002 it has incorrectly constructed
the child process command line by concatenating arguments separated by
spaces with no quoting. Fix this by passing the command argument vector
directly to RunSingleCommand without an intermediate quoting and
re-parsing step.

Expand the -W set of cmake options to include support for the -Werror
and -Wno-error format, which is used to control upgrading and
downgrading warning and error messages. Implement support for these new
formats for the dev and deprecated message types.
Add tests and updated documentation for new options.
Drop the 'UNIX' condition on Clang compiler features. This enables
use of compile features with MinGW Clang, though additional work may
be needed for clang-cl.

The behaviour of double specified keywords is rather undefined or at
least not clearly documented. This change introduces a strict check and
emits a warning in case a keyword has been specified more than once.
Implement a native `cmake_parse_arguments` command that is fully
compatible with the documented behaviour of the previous implementation.
Leave the CMakeParseArguments module empty but existing for
compatibility.
