CMake 3.20 Release Notes
************************
.. only:: html
.. contents::
Changes made since CMake 3.19 include the following.
New Features
============
Presets
-------
* :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` gained support for build and test presets.
Generators
----------
* :ref:`Makefile Generators`, for some toolchains, now use the compiler
to extract implicit dependencies while compiling source files.
Languages
---------
* C++23 compiler modes may now be specified via the :prop_tgt:`CXX_STANDARD`,
:prop_tgt:`CUDA_STANDARD`, or :prop_tgt:`OBJCXX_STANDARD` target properties,
or via the :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>`
functionality's ``cxx_std_23`` meta-feature.
* ``CUDA`` language support now works when ``nvcc`` is a symbolic link,
for example due to a ``ccache`` or ``colornvcc`` wrapper script.
* The :envvar:`CUDAARCHS` environment variable was added for initializing
:variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES`. Useful in cases where the compiler
default is unsuitable for the machine's GPU.
Compilers
---------
* The NVIDIA HPC SDK compilers are now supported with compiler id ``NVHPC``.
* The Intel oneAPI NextGen LLVM compilers are now supported with
compiler id ``IntelLLVM``:
* The ``icx``/``icpx`` C/C++ compilers on Linux, and the ``icx``
C/C++ compiler on Windows, are fully supported as of oneAPI 2021.1.
* The ``ifx`` Fortran compiler on Linux is partially supported.
As of oneAPI 2021.1, ``ifx`` does not define several identification
macros, so CMake identifies it as the classic ``Intel`` compiler.
This works in many cases because ``ifx`` accepts the same command line
parameters as ``ifort``. A future version of oneAPI may fix this.
* The ``ifx`` Fortran compiler on Windows is not yet supported.
The Intel oneAPI Classic compilers (``icc``, ``icpc``, and ``ifort``)
continue to be supported with compiler id ``Intel``.
Platforms
---------
* CMake's support for :ref:`Cross Compiling for Android`
is now merged with the Android NDK's toolchain file.
They now have similar behavior, though some variable names differ.
User-facing changes include:
- ``find_*`` functions will search NDK ABI / API specific paths by default.
- The default :variable:`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` for Android is
now ``RelWithDebInfo``.
File-Based API
--------------
* The :manual:`cmake-file-api(7)` gained a new "toolchains" object
kind that describes the compiler used for each enabled language.
Commands
--------
* :command:`add_custom_command` and :command:`add_custom_target` now
support :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`
in their ``OUTPUT`` and ``BYPRODUCTS`` options.
Their ``COMMAND``, ``WORKING_DIRECTORY``, and ``DEPENDS`` options gained
support for new generator expressions ``$<COMMAND_CONFIG:...>`` and
``$<OUTPUT_CONFIG:...>`` that control cross-config handling when using
the :generator:`Ninja Multi-Config` generator.
* The :command:`add_custom_command` command gained ``DEPFILE`` support on
:ref:`Makefile Generators`.
* The :command:`add_library` command previously prohibited imported object
libraries when using potentially multi-architecture configurations.
This mostly affected the :generator:`Xcode` generator, e.g. when targeting
iOS or one of the other device platforms. This restriction has now been
removed.
* The :command:`cmake_path` command was added for operations on
filesystem paths.
* The :command:`configure_file` command gained a ``USE_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS``
and ``FILE_PERMISSIONS`` option to support copying of permissions of source
file and specifying user defined permissions.
* The :command:`file(GENERATE)` command gained ``NEWLINE_STYLE`` option to
support newline style of the generated file.
* The :command:`file(GENERATE)` command gained ``NO_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS``,
``USE_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS``, and ``FILE_PERMISSIONS`` options to support
permissions of the generated file.
* The :command:`install(FILES)` command ``RENAME`` option learned to
support :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
* The :command:`target_include_directories` command gained a new option
``AFTER``.
* The :command:`target_sources` command now supports targets created
by the :command:`add_custom_target` command.
* The :command:`try_run` command gained a ``WORKING_DIRECTORY`` option to
set the working directory in which to run the compiled check executable.
Variables
---------
* The :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_BYTE_ORDER` variable was added to provide the
target architecture byte order detected from the toolchain.
* The :variable:`CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`,
:variable:`CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`, and
:variable:`CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` variables now support
target-dependent generator expressions.
Properties
----------
* The :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` target property and the associated
:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` variable learned to support
the ``OBJC`` and ``OBJCXX`` languages.
* The :prop_tgt:`EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS` target property was added
for the associated :variable:`CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS` variable
to allow for configuration of exporting compile commands per target.
* The :prop_sf:`GENERATED` source-file property is now visible
from any directory scope, regardless of the scope in which it is set.
See policy :policy:`CMP0118`.
* The :prop_tgt:`UNITY_BUILD_UNIQUE_ID` target property
was added to support generation of an identifier that is
unique per source file in unity builds. It can help to
resolve duplicate symbol problems with anonymous namespaces.
* The :prop_tgt:`WIN32_EXECUTABLE` target property now works with Clang
on Windows.
* The :prop_tgt:`XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS <XCODE_EMBED_<type>>` target property
was added to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator to embed frameworks.
Aspects of the embedding can be customized with the
:prop_tgt:`XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS_PATH <XCODE_EMBED_<type>>`,
:prop_tgt:`XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS_CODE_SIGN_ON_COPY`, and
:prop_tgt:`XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS_REMOVE_HEADERS_ON_COPY` target properties.
Modules
-------
* The :module:`ExternalData` module :command:`ExternalData_Add_Target`
function gained a ``SHOW_PROGRESS <bool>`` option to suppress progress
output during the build.
* The :module:`ExternalProject` module :command:`ExternalProject_Add` function
gained a ``CONFIGURE_HANDLED_BY_BUILD`` option to have subsequent runs of
the configure step be triggered by the build step when an external project
dependency rebuilds instead of always rerunning the configure step when
an external project dependency rebuilds.
* The :module:`FindBoost` module gained a ``Boost_NO_WARN_NEW_VERSIONS``
option to silence the warning about unknown dependencies for new
Boost versions.
* The :module:`FindCUDAToolkit` module gained support for finding CUDA
toolkits when ``nvcc`` is a symbolic link,
for example due to a ``ccache`` or ``colornvcc`` wrapper script.
* The :module:`FindIntl` module now provides an imported target.
* The :module:`FindOpenSSL` module learned to support a version range.
* The :module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2` and :module:`FindPython`
modules gained options controlling how unversioned interpreter names are
searched.
* The :module:`UseJava` module ``add_jar()`` command's
``GENERATE_NATIVE_HEADERS`` feature gained options to export the
generated target.
* The :module:`UseSWIG` module gained the capability, for
:ref:`Makefile <Makefile Generators>` and :ref:`Ninja <Ninja Generators>`
generators, to use the ``swig`` tool to generate implicit dependencies.
Autogen
-------
* The :ref:`Qt AUTOMOC` feature now works with per-config sources.
CTest
-----
* :manual:`ctest(1)` gained a ``--test-dir`` option to specify the directory
in which to look for tests.
CPack
-----
* :module:`CPack` gained the :variable:`CPACK_THREADS` variable to
control the number of threads used for parallelized operations,
such as compressing the installer package.
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack DEB Generator` learned a new
:variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS_PRIVATE_DIRS`
variable to specify additional search directories for
resolving private library dependencies when using
``dpkg-shlibdeps``.
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack IFW Generator` gained new
:variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_WIZARD_SHOW_PAGE_LIST` variable to
control visibility of the widget listing installer pages on the left side
of the wizard. This feature available only since QtIFW 4.0.
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` gained new
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_BRANDING_TEXT` and
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_BRANDING_TEXT_TRIM_POSITION` variables to change
the text at the bottom of the install window and change its trim position
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` now handles correctly Unicode characters.
If you want to have a ``CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE`` with UTF-8 characters
it needs to be encoded in UTF-8 BOM.
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NuGet Generator` gained options:
- :variable:`CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_ICON` and
:variable:`CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_ICON`
allow package icons to be specified by local files.
- :variable:`CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_LICENSE_EXPRESSION` and
:variable:`CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_LICENSE_EXPRESSION` add
support for specifying licenses recognized by the
`Software Package Data Exchange`_ (SPDX).
- :variable:`CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_LICENSE_FILE_NAME` and
:variable:`CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_LICENSE_FILE_NAME` allow
licenses to be specified by local files.
- :variable:`CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_LANGUAGE` and
:variable:`CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_LANGUAGE` allow the locale
for a package to be specified, for example ``en_CA``.
.. _Software Package Data Exchange: https://spdx.org/
Deprecated and Removed Features
===============================
* The :manual:`cmake-server(7)` mode has been removed.
Clients should use the :manual:`cmake-file-api(7)` instead.
* The :module:`WriteCompilerDetectionHeader` module has been deprecated
via policy :policy:`CMP0120`. Projects should be ported away from it.
* The :module:`TestBigEndian` module has been deprecated in favor
of the :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_BYTE_ORDER` variable.
* The :module:`AddFileDependencies` module is deprecated.
Port projects to use :command:`set_property` directly.
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NuGet Generator` deprecated some variables to reflect
changes in the NuGet specification:
- :variable:`CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_ICONURL` and
:variable:`CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_ICONURL` have been deprecated;
replace with a reference to a local icon file.
- :variable:`CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_LICENSEURL` and
:variable:`CPACK_NUGET_<compName>_PACKAGE_LICENSEURL` have been deprecated;
replace with a reference to the project's license file or SPDX
license expression.
Other Changes
=============
* Source file extensions must now be explicit.
See policy :policy:`CMP0115` for details.
* The :prop_sf:`LANGUAGE` source file property now forces compilation
as the specified language. See policy :policy:`CMP0119`.
* On AIX, installation of XCOFF executables and shared libraries
no longer requires relinking to change the runtime search path
from the build-tree RPATH to the install-tree RPATH. CMake now
edits the XCOFF binaries directly during installation, as has
long been done on ELF platforms.
* With MSVC-like compilers the value of
:variable:`CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS <CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS>` no longer contains
the ``/GR`` flag for runtime type information by default.
See policy :policy:`CMP0117`.
* Ninja generators now transform the ``DEPFILE`` generated by an
:command:`add_custom_command`. See policy :policy:`CMP0116` for details.
* The implementation of the :module:`ExternalProject` module was
significantly refactored. The patch step gained support for
using the terminal with a new ``USES_TERMINAL_PATCH`` keyword
as a by-product of that work.
* The :module:`FetchContent` module no longer creates a separate
sub-build to implement the content population. It now invokes
the step scripts directly from within the main project's
configure stage. This significantly speeds up the configure
phase when the required content is already populated and
up-to-date.
* The precompiled Linux binaries provided on ``cmake.org`` have changed
their naming pattern to ``cmake-$ver-linux-$arch``, where ``$arch``
is either ``x86_64`` or ``aarch64``.
* The precompiled Windows binaries provided on ``cmake.org`` have changed
their naming pattern to ``cmake-$ver-windows-$arch``, where ``$arch``
is either ``x86_64`` or ``i386``.
