Update documentation for the change made by commit e6c9a8bac3 (cmake:
Teach -E remove_directory to remove directory symlinks, 2019-08-26).
Also add a release note.
Issue: #19533
For the multi-configuration generators one can specify the list
of configurations to include in the package.
E.g. having a project, where debug libraries have a suffix to
distinct them from the release builds, one can build the package
containing both `Debug` and `Release` binaries.
When running `pkg_search_module`, it may be useful to get the matching
module name in order to run `pkg_get_variable`.
`pkg_search_module` now defines `<prefix>_MODULE_NAME` which contains
the first matching module name.
Fixes: #19648
Extend the change from commit 689be6235e (Generator: support
per-language link library flag, 2019-08-08) to cover more link library
command-line flag components. Allow compilers for different languages
to use different values for these linking-related variables within the
same build.
Closes: #19631
Generator expressions in target property VS_CONFIGURATION_TYPE might be used to
set the ConfigurationType to Utility for certain configurations to not build
the target while still linking to the target in other configurations.
Fixes: #19613
Beginning with the 19.06 release of the Cray Programming Environment, the
default linking mode on XC Cray systems is dynamic instead of static.
This updates the CrayPrgEnv compiler wrappers to detect the PE version
being used and behave accordingly.
This enables the use of MSVC and Swift on Windows in a single project.
MSVC uses no flag to indicate linked libraries while Swift uses `-l`.
Add support for a language specific link library flag which takes
precedence over the global `CMAKE_LINK_LIBRARY_FLAG` which preserves
compatibility with earlier releases.
The singular name `CPACK_INSTALL_SCRIPT` has existed but was not linked
from the CPack documentation. Also, it supported multiple values and
should have had a plural name. Add a plural-named alternative now.
If both `CPACK_INSTALL_SCRIPTS` and `CPACK_INSTALL_SCRIPT` are set then
ignore the latter with a warning.

We've long created shared objects on AIX using the linker's `-G` option
(also offered by the XL front-end). The `-G` option implies `-brtl` and
enables runtime linking. This has been largely unnecessary because we
provide all dependencies on the link line and both XL and GNU compilers
offer builtin behavior to export symbols. Since commit 0f150b69d3 (AIX:
Explicitly compute shared object exports for both XL and GNU,
2019-07-11) we compute exports explicitly and consistently.
Therefore runtime linking is no longer necessary for shared objects.
We've also long created executables on AIX using the linker's `-brtl`
option to enable runtime linking in case they load plugins at runtime.
Since commit 9f5c2040bf (AIX: Explicitly compute executable exports for
both XL and GNU, 2019-07-12) and commit 2fa920c0cd (AIX: Create import
library for executables with exports, 2019-07-16) we now provide the
linker enough information to fully resolve symbols in plugins up front.
Therefore runtime linking is no longer necessary for executables.
Drop use of `-G` for creating shared objects and use the XL `-qmkshrobj`
and GCC `-shared` options instead. Both invoke the linker with the
`-bM:SRE -bnoentry` options to create a shared object without runtime
linking enabled. Also drop use of `-brtl` for creating executables.
