Changes made since CMake 3.17 include the following.
|
||||
|
||||
* :command:`add_library` and :command:`add_executable` gain the capability
|
||||
to create an ``ALIAS`` to
|
||||
non-``GLOBAL`` :ref:`Imported Target <Imported Targets>`.
|
||||
New Features
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
* Creation of an ``ALIAS`` target overwriting an existing target now raise an
|
||||
error. See policy :policy:`CMP0107`.
|
||||
Languages
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`ccmake(1)` learned to read a :envvar:`CCMAKE_COLORS`
|
||||
environment variable to customize colors.
|
||||
* The ``CUDA`` language can now be compiled using Clang.
|
||||
|
||||
* New :module:`CheckLinkerFlag` module has been added to provide a facility to
|
||||
check validity of link flags.
|
||||
Command-Line
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` now populates its generator selection
|
||||
widget default value from the :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR` environment
|
||||
variable. Additionally, environment variables
|
||||
:envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` and :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET`
|
||||
are used to populate their respective widget defaults.
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained support for profiling of CMake scripts through
|
||||
the parameters ``--profiling-output`` and ``--profiling-format``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`cmake_language()` command was added for meta-operations on
|
||||
scripted or built-in commands, starting with a mode to ``CALL`` other
|
||||
commands, and ``EVAL CODE`` to inplace evaluate a CMake script.
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``cat`` command line
|
||||
option that can be used to concatenate files and print them
|
||||
on standard output.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack RPM Generator` gained
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_RPM_PRE_TRANS_SCRIPT_FILE`
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_RPM_POST_TRANS_SCRIPT_FILE`
|
||||
variables to specify pre- and post-trans scripts.
|
||||
Commands
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CTestCoverageCollectGCOV` module
|
||||
:command:`ctest_coverage_collect_gcov` function gained a
|
||||
``TARBALL_COMPRESSION`` option to control compression of the
|
||||
tarball of collected results.
|
||||
* The :command:`add_library` and :command:`add_executable` commands
|
||||
learned to create :ref:`Alias Targets` referencing non-``GLOBAL``
|
||||
:ref:`Imported Targets`.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`ctest(1)` now logs environment variables that it sets for each test,
|
||||
either due to the :prop_test:`ENVIRONMENT` property or the
|
||||
:ref:`resource allocation <ctest-resource-allocation>` feature, and submits
|
||||
this log to CDash. It does not log environment variables that were set
|
||||
outside of CTest.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`ctest(1)` gained a new :variable:`CTEST_RESOURCE_SPEC_FILE`
|
||||

||||
|
||||
* The :command:`ctest_test` command gained a ``STOP_ON_FAILURE`` option
|
||||
which can be used to stop running the tests once one has failed.
|
||||
|
||||
* :variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES` is now initialized when
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER_ID <CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID>` is ``NVIDIA``.
|
||||
Empty :prop_tgt:`CUDA_ARCHITECTURES` raises an error. See policy
|
||||
:policy:`CMP0104`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added :prop_tgt:`CUDA_ARCHITECTURES` target property for specifying CUDA
|
||||
output architectures. Users are encouraged to use this instead of specifying
|
||||
options manually, as this approach is compiler-agnostic.
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``CUDA`` language now supports Clang as a compiler.
|
||||
|
||||
* When building CMake itself from source and not using a system-provided
|
||||
libcurl, HTTP/2 support is now enabled for commands supporting
|
||||
network communication via ``http(s)``, such as :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)`,
|
||||
:command:`file(UPLOAD)`, and :command:`ctest_submit`.
|
||||
The precompiled binaries provided on ``cmake.org`` now support HTTP/2.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`Documentation` module has been deprecated via
|
||||
:policy:`CMP0106`. This module was essentially VTK code that CMake should
|
||||
not be shipping anymore.
|
||||
|

* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policy ``CMP0070``
|

||||
* :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` now populates its generator selection
|
||||
widget default value from the :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR` environment
|
||||
variable. Additionally, environment variables
|
||||
:envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` and :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET`
|
||||
are used to populate their respective widget defaults.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`ccmake(1)` learned to read a :envvar:`CCMAKE_COLORS`
|
||||
environment variable to customize colors.
|
||||
|
||||
Deprecated and Removed Features
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`Documentation` module has been deprecated via
|
||||
:policy:`CMP0106`. This module was essentially VTK code that CMake should
|
||||
not be shipping anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policy ``CMP0070``
|
||||
and policy ``CMP0071`` (``CMP0069`` 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.
|
||||
|
||||
Other Changes
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
* On Windows, the :generator:`Ninja` and :generator:`Ninja Multi-Config`
|
||||
generators, when a compiler is not explicitly specified, now select
|
||||
the first compiler (of any name) found in directories listed by the
|
||||
``PATH`` environment variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`LINK_OPTIONS` and :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS` target
|
||||
properties are now used for the device link step.
|
||||
See policy :policy:`CMP0105`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Creation of an ``ALIAS`` target overwriting an existing target now raises an
|
||||
error. See policy :policy:`CMP0107`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Linking a target to itself through an alias now raises an error.
|
||||
See policy :policy:`CMP0108`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindPackageHandleStandardArgs` module option ``REQUIRED_VARS``
|
||||
is now optional if ``HANDLE_COMPONENTS`` is specified.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`source_group` command now also recognizes forward slashes
|
||||
as subgroup delimiters, not just backslashes.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`ctest(1)` now logs environment variables that it sets for each test,
|
||||
either due to the :prop_test:`ENVIRONMENT` property or the
|
||||
:ref:`resource allocation <ctest-resource-allocation>` feature, and submits
|
||||
this log to CDash. It does not log environment variables that were set
|
||||
outside of CTest.
|
||||
|
||||
* When building CMake itself from source and not using a system-provided
|
||||
libcurl, HTTP/2 support is now enabled for commands supporting
|
||||
network communication via ``http(s)``, such as :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)`,
|
||||
:command:`file(UPLOAD)`, and :command:`ctest_submit`.
|
||||
The precompiled binaries provided on ``cmake.org`` now support HTTP/2.
