CMake 3.22 Release Notes
|
||||
************************
|
||||
|
||||
.. only:: html
|
||||

.. contents::
|
||||
|
||||
Changes made since CMake 3.21 include the following.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CMakeDependentOption` module :command:`cmake_dependent_option`
|
||||
macro now supports full :ref:`Condition Syntax`.
|
||||
See policy :policy:`CMP0127`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :envvar:`CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE` environment variable was added to
|
||||
allow users to override the default file-copying behavior of
|
||||
:command:`install` and :command:`file(INSTALL)` into creating
|
||||
symbolic links. This can aid in lowering storage space requirements
|
||||
and avoiding redundancy.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`file(INSTALL)` can now be affected / modified by the
|
||||
:envvar:`CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE` environment variable causing installation
|
||||
of symbolic links instead of copying of files.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`install` can now be affected / modified by the
|
||||
:envvar:`CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE` environment variable causing installation
|
||||
of symbolic links instead of copying of files.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality now
|
||||
correctly disables or enables compiler extensions when no standard level is
|
||||
specified and avoids unnecessarily adding language standard flags if the
|
||||
requested settings match the compiler's defaults. See :policy:`CMP0128`.
|
||||
|
||||
* :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_EXTENSIONS` is initialized to
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_EXTENSIONS_DEFAULT`. See :policy:`CMP0128`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack DEB Generator` gained the
|
||||
option to set :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_COMPRESSION_TYPE` to zstd,
|
||||
which enables Zstandard compression for deb packages.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack RPM Generator` gained the
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_RPM_REQUIRES_EXCLUDE_FROM` option avoid scanning
|
||||
specific paths for dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`ctest(1)` learned to be able to modify the environment for a test
|
||||
through the :prop_test:`ENVIRONMENT_MODIFICATION` property. This is allows
|
||||
for updates to environment variables based on the environment present at
|
||||
test time.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command now also generates a
|
||||
`DynamicAnalysis-Test.xml` file which may be used to submit test results to
|
||||
CDash.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`ctest(1)` learned to recognize labels attached to a test at run time.
|
||||
Previously it was only possible to attach labels to tests at configure time
|
||||
by using the :prop_test:`LABELS` test property.
|
||||
See :ref:`Additional Test Measurements` for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :envvar:`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` environment variable was added to
|
||||
provide a default value for the :variable:`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :envvar:`CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES` environment variable was added to
|
||||
provide a default value for the :variable:`CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES`
|
||||
variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FetchContent` module now passes through the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY`, :variable:`CMAKE_TLS_CAINFO`,
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_NETRC` and :variable:`CMAKE_NETRC_FILE` variables (when
|
||||
defined) to the underlying :module:`ExternalProject` sub-build.
|
||||
Previously, those variables were silently ignored by :module:`FetchContent`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindBLAS` and :module:`FindLAPACK` modules gained
|
||||
a ``BLA_SIZEOF_INTEGER`` option to find a BLAS/LAPACK whose ABI
|
||||
uses a specific integer size.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindJasper` module now provides an imported target.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindMatlab` module now provides imported targets.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_REQUIRE_FIND_PACKAGE_<PackageName>` variable was added
|
||||
to turn a non-REQUIRED :command:`find_package` call into a REQUIRED one.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindPkgConfig` module gained a :variable:`PKG_CONFIG_ARGN`
|
||||
variable to specify arguments to ``pkg-config`` calls.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`GoogleTest` module :command:`gtest_discover_tests`
|
||||
function gained a ``TEST_FILTER`` option to filter tests using
|
||||
``--gtest_filter`` during test discovery.
|
||||
|
||||
* Configuration for :prop_tgt:`LINK_WHAT_YOU_USE` feature is now controlled by
|
||||
``CMake`` variables and only active for ``ELF`` platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
* The MSVC compilers learned to pass the ``-external:I`` flag for system
|
||||
includes when using the :generator:`Ninja` and :generator:`NMake Makefiles`
|
||||
generators. This became available as of Visual Studio 16.10 (toolchain
|
||||
version 14.29.30037).
|
||||
|
||||
* The :ref:`Ninja Generators` now implement the ``edit_cache`` target
|
||||
using :manual:`ccmake(1)` if available.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` gained a new variable
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_IGNORE_LICENSE_PAGE` to ignore the
|
||||
license page in the installer.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` now requires NSIS 3.03 or later.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`cmake_host_system_information` command query operating system
|
||||
identification `variables <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html>`_
|
||||
from the :file:`/etc/os-release` file.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`string(TIMESTAMP)` command now supports the ``%V``
|
||||
specifier for ISO 8601 week numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
* :command:`target_compile_features` learned to ignored features for languages that
|
||||
aren't enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
* :module:`UseSWIG` module gained the capability, for
|
||||
:ref:`Visual Studio Generators` to use `swig` tool to generate implicit
|
||||
dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 10 2010` generator is now deprecated
|
||||
and will be removed in a future version of CMake.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_sf:`VS_SETTINGS` source file property is now supported for
|
||||
all source file types. Previously it worked only for non-built sources.
