[cmake-developers] CMake 2.8.12-rc3 Release.

[James Bigler]

I have a couple of issues with this release.

1. file(APPEND "${myfile}"
      "string"
      "string2";
      "string3")
This generates an error at the ';' character, which never did before.  So
far as I understand, a ';' character should still be legal here.  Please
correct me if I'm wrong.

2. One of my projects that used to build fine with VS 2012 + CMake 2.8.10.1
fails with 2.8.11.2 and 2.8.12.RC3.  It no longer generates the static .lib
file from a collection of CUDA generated obj files.  I will post some more
details soon.
