Summary: Specify version changes with each commands/variables
Description:
Documentation is pretty efficient but if you work with different CMake versions,
you almost always end up using a feature or a variable that was not available in
previous versions (eg. 2.8.4 against 2.8.2, I'm not talking about 2.6 to 2.8
step)
New commands, variables, or command parameters are often added between versions.
When this happens it would be nice to have it written in the doc so that users
know not to use a specific feature when they are targeting a specific cmake
version.
Thank you

There is a nice Wiki page for that:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Version_Compatibility_Matrix
but it would definitely be interesting to have a "since x.y" inside the doc.

That is right. I work at a place with no internet connection and the only thing
I have is the manual (this is a Debian package).
Unless the Debian guys package the wiki, I'm stuck :)

Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog.
(The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means
that nobody is actively working on it...)
If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have
been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing
list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on
it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has
the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for
dashboard testing.
