This option can be used independently of ``-B``.
* The :manual:`cmake <cmake(1)>` command gained the ``-B <build_dir>`` * The :generator:`Green Hills MULTI` generator has been udpated:
command line option to specify the location of the build directory.
This option can be used independently of ``-S``.
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack Deb Generator` learned to split debug symbols into
a corresponding .ddeb package when ``CPACK_DEBIAN_DEBUGINFO_PACKAGE`` is
set.
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack Deb Generator` learned to honor the ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH``
environment variable when packaging files. This is useful for generating
reproducible packages.
* CPack gained a new :cpack_gen:`CPack External Generator` which is used to
export the CPack metadata in a format that other software can understand. The
intention of this generator is to allow external packaging software to take
advantage of CPack's features when it may not be possible to use CPack for
the entire packaging process.
* The CPack generators have been moved into their own separate section in the
documentation, rather than having the documentation in their internal
implementation modules.
* These internal implementation modules are also no longer available to scripts
that may have been incorrectly including them, because they should never have
been available in the first place.
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E create_symlink`` command can now be used
on Windows.
* :manual:`ctest(1)` gained a ``--progress`` option to enable a live
test progress summary when output goes to a terminal.
* The :command:`add_custom_command` and :command:`add_custom_target` commands
learned to support generator expressions in ``WORKING_DIRECTORY`` options.
* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policies ``CMP0055``
through ``CMP0063`` (``CMP0054`` and below were already deprecated).
The :manual:`cmake-policies(7)` manual explains that the OLD behaviors
of all policies are deprecated and that projects should port to the
NEW behaviors.
* The :module:`FindCURL` module learned to find debug and release variants
separately.
* The :module:`FindMatlab` module gained new components ``ENGINE_LIBRARY`` and
``DATAARRAY_LIBRARY`` to request finding the Matlab C++ Engine and DataArray
libraries respectively.
* The :module:`FindMatlab` module now explicitly exports mexFunction in Visual
Studio.
* The :module:`FindMatlab` module gained the ability to discover Matlab R2018a
and R2018b.
* The :module:`FindMatlab` module gained a new ``MCC_COMPILER``
component to request finding the Matlab Compiler add-on.
* Modules :module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2` and :module:`FindPython`
gain capability to control order of resource lookup on macOS (Framework) and
Windows (Registry).
* The :module:`FindSubversion` module ``Subversion_WC_INFO`` command
gained an ``IGNORE_SVN_FAILURE`` option to suppress failures,
e.g. when the source tree is not under Subversion control.
