I am happy to announce that CMake 2.6.0 has entered the beta stage! You
can find the source and binaries here: http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/.
I am sure I am leaving something out, but here is the list of changes
that I came up with. (If you notice something missing please let me
know and I will add it to the official release when 2.6.0 is finalized.)
Changes in CMake 2.6.0
- Documentation for all variables
- Direct CDash submit support
- Bullseye coverage support
- Use full paths for linking to libraries on all platforms. No longer
separate into -L and -l.
- Enhance the install command
- export command and ability to have imported targets
- CPack support for rpm and deb
- Cross compile support
- Introduction of the cmake_policy command
- Much better Fortran support
- Lots of bug fixes ( and most likely a few new bugs... :) )
Please try this version of CMake on your projects and report any issues
to the list or the bug tracker ( I have added a CMake-2-6 version ).
The biggest change by far is the new new cmake policies. For more
information about policies see http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Policies.
Happy, building!
-Bill
