I am happy to announce that CMake 2.8.0 has entered the beta stage! You
can find the source and binaries here: http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/.
I am sure I am leaving something out, but here is the list of changes
that I came up with. (If you notice something missing please let me
know and I will add it to the official release when 2.8.0 is finalized.)
Changes in CMake 2.8.0 RC 1
- Qt based GUI cmake-gui is now the default GUI, MFC CMakeSetup is no
longer included in CMake. ccmake is still supported.
- cmake-gui supports multi-state values options.
- CMake now has cmake --build command that can build any CMake generated
project from the command line.
- Visual Studio 2010 beta support has been added.
- Significant improvements for the Eclipse project generator (all
targets are now available in Eclipse, system include dirs and
predefined macros are now detected so syntax highlighting works
better)
- KDevelop generator now has color output for builds, and non verbose
makefiles.
- CTest supports running tests in parallel with a -j N option.
- A new CTest CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS option can be used to get better
dashboard error reports with make based tools.
- CTest has support for sub-projects and labels which can interact
with CDash.
- CTest now supports Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar.
- It is now possible to use DESTDIR in CPack for any CMake based projects
giving more flexibility on the final path names.
- The CPack Deb generator now computes the arch instead of hard coding it.
- Fortran/C mixed language projects made much easier. CMake now
automatically can compute the run time libraries for a compiler. In
addition, a new FortranCInterface module can determine the correct
name mangling needed to mix C and Fortran.
- Intel compiler support added to OSX, and support for embedded
manifests in the windows intel compiler was added.
- Depend scanning is now much faster with makefiles.
- Many FindQt4 improvements to stay working with current Qt releases
- FindMPI has improvements for windows.
- FindRuby.cmake now supports Ruby 1.9
- FindBoost has been updated to work with the most recent boost releases.
- New External Project Module. The 'ExternalProject_Add' function
creates a custom target to drive download, update/patch, configure,
build, install and test steps of an external project.
- xmlrpc dependancy has been removed
- CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET cache variable has been created to set the
deployment OS for a build on OSX.
- Several new policies were added:
CMP0012
The if() command can recognize named boolean constants.
CMP0013
Duplicate binary directories are not allowed.
CMP0014
Input directories must have CMakeLists.txt.
CMP0015
The set() CACHE mode and option() command make the cache value
visible.
- Lots of bug fixes.
Please try this version of CMake on your projects and report any issues
to the list or the bug tracker ( I have added a CMake-2-8 version ).
Happy, building!
-Bill
