[Bill Hoffman]

CMake 2.8.0 RC 2 is now ready for people to try.
You can find the source and binaries here: http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/.

Here are the changes for the 2.8.0 branch so far:


Changes in CMake 2.8.0 RC 2
- Fix FindQt4 so that QtHelp depends on QtNetwork
- Add missing copyright notice to CMake.cmake module
- Add alternative _UTILITY targets to all VS solutions
- FindGTest.cmake some bugfixes, also added public function for closer 
integration btwn GoogleTest & CTest, contributed by Dan Blezek.
- Eliminate ExternalProject's use of CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR subdir for 
Makefile generators. It was causing problems with parallel make -j 
invocations. Keep it for multi-configuration build systems so that Debug 
and Release stamp files remain separate.
- Fix for bug #9611, some more paths for OpenJDK.
- Fix get_filename_component() registry view with wow64
- Fix warnings in CMake source code.
- Fix module definition file reference for VS6 NMake
- Fix for bug #9611 do not hard code archs for search paths of java, 
look at the machine type.
- Fix bug#9619 add a link to module maintainers page in readme.txt for 
Modules
- Add cmake-help-command function to emacs-mode
- Add initial XL C compiler flags for safer builds
- Split XL compiler information files
- Fix default install prefix on Haiku
- Fix use of module .def files for MS tools
- Add StringProperty options includeing /def: for VS 10 flag table
- Convert copyright to OSI BSD and clean up licenses
- ENH: Added ctest test coverage for a test timeout
- CTest honors test timeouts again.
- Remove ctest_submit from CTestTestParallel
- Fix shared library creation flag for XL on Linux
- Fix BUG: 0009612: --output-on-failure option doesn't work with
   the new parallel CTest handler
- Removed support for cutil library and header file.
- Fixed CUDA_PROPAGATE_HOST_FLAGS, added path for Mac SDK.
- Make sure LINK_FLAGS are seen by generator, fix for part of bug#9613
- Fix issue #9412 - remove RPATH from files copied by
   BundleUtilities.cmake on Linux. Thank
- Fix support for OLD behavior of policy CMP0002
- Fix issue #8818 - escape quotes in the license file when using the
   DragNDrop cpack genera
- Fix .vfproj file version for Intel Fortran 10.1
- Use BeAPI for per-user package registry on Haiku
- Correct comments and use ASM${ASM_DIALECT} env. var instead of ASM
   env. var to initialize
- Fix bug #9529.
- Fix Windows GUI implib and image version in VS 6
- Convert newlines from CRLF to LF
- Oops. Last commit did not create subdir before doing a touch on a
   file in it. So it fails of a type that is expected to have a
   location...
- Policies 14 and 15 will be first released in 2.8.0
- Document full version number with policy default
- Simplify bootstrap script source dir detection
- Documentation fixes, new CUDA_PROPAGATE_HOST_FLAGS, changed output
   directory.

Changes in CMake 2.8.0 RC 1

- Qt based GUI cmake-gui is now the default GUI, MFC CMakeSetup is no
   longer included in CMake.  ccmake is still supported.
- cmake-gui supports multi-state values options.
- CMake now has cmake --build command that can build any CMake generated
   project from the command line.
- Visual Studio 2010 beta support has been added.
- KDevelop generator now has color output for builds.
- CTest supports running tests in parallel with a -j N option.
- A new CTest CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS option can be used to get better
   dashboard error reports with make based tools.
- CTest has support for sub-projects and labels which can interact
   with CDash.
- CTest now supports Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar.
- It is now possible to use DESTDIR in CPack for any CMake based projects
   giving more flexibility on the final path names.
- The CPack Deb generator now computes the arch instead of hard coding it.
- Fortran/C mixed language projects made much easier. CMake now
   automatically can compute the run time libraries for a compiler. In
   addition, a new FortranCInterface module can determine the correct
   name mangling needed to mix C and Fortran.
- Intel compiler support added to OSX, and support for embedded
   manifests in the windows intel compiler was added.
- Depend scanning is now much faster with makefiles.
- Many FindQt4 improvements to stay working with current Qt releases
- FindMPI has improvements for windows.
- FindBoost has been updated to work with the most recent boost releases.
- New External Project Module.  The 'ExternalProject_Add' function
   creates a custom target to drive download, update/patch, configure,
   build, install and test steps of an external project.
- xmlrpc dependancy has been removed
- CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET cache variable has been created to set the
   deployment OS for a build on OSX.
- Several new policies were added:
   CMP0012
        The if() command can recognize named boolean constants.
   CMP0013
        Duplicate binary directories are not allowed.
   CMP0014
        Input directories must have CMakeLists.txt.
   CMP0015
        The set() CACHE mode and option() command make the cache value
        visible.
- Lots of bug fixes.
