> I am proud to announce that CMake 3.5.0 is now available for download at:
> https://cmake.org/download/
>
> Documentation is available at:
> https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5
>
> Release notes appear below and are also published at
> https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/release/3.5.html
>
> Some of the more significant features of CMake 3.5 are:
>
> * The precompiled Windows binary provided on "cmake.org" is now a
> ".msi" package instead of an installer executable. One may need to
> manually uninstall CMake versions lower than 3.5 before installing
> the new package.
>
> * The "cmake-gui(1)" learned an option to set the toolset to be used
> with VS IDE and Xcode generators, much like the existing "-T" option
> to "cmake(1)".
>
> * Find modules for Boost, FLEX, GTest, GTK2, PNG, TIFF, and XercesC
> now provide imported targets.
>
> * The "FindOpenMP" module learned to support Clang.
>
> * A new platform file for cross-compiling in the Cray Linux
> Environment to target compute nodes was added. See Cross Compiling
> for the Cray Linux Environment for usage details.
>
> * The "Compile Features" functionality is now aware of features
> supported by Clang compilers on Windows (MinGW).
>
> * Support was added for the ARM Compiler (arm.com) with compiler id
> "ARMCC".
>
> * When building for embedded platforms like Apple iOS, CMake learned
> to build and install combined targets which contain both a device
> and a simulator build. This behavior can be enabled by setting the
> "IOS_INSTALL_COMBINED" target property.
>
> * The "CPackDMG" module learned new variable to specify AppleScript
> file run to customize appearance of "DragNDrop" installer folder
> including setting background image using PNG supplied or multi-
> resolution TIFF file. See the "CPACK_DMG_DS_STORE_SETUP_SCRIPT" and
> "CPACK_DMG_BACKGROUND_IMAGE" variables.
>
> Deprecated and Removed Features:
>
> * The "cmake(1)" "-E time" command now properly passes arguments
> with spaces or special characters through to the child process.
> This may break scripts that worked around the bug with their own
> extra quoting or escaping.
>
> * The "Xcode" generator was fixed to escape backslashes in strings
> consistently with other generators. Projects that previously worked
> around the inconsistecy with an extra level of backslashes
> conditioned on the Xcode generator must be updated to remove the
> workaround for CMake 3.5 and greater.

> CMake 3.5 Release Notes
> ***********************
>
> Changes made since CMake 3.4 include the following.
>
> New Features
> ============
>
> GUI
> ---
>
> * The "cmake-gui(1)" gained options to control warnings about
> deprecated functionality.
>
> * The "cmake-gui(1)" learned an option to set the toolset to be used
> with VS IDE and Xcode generators, much like the existing "-T" option
> to "cmake(1)".
>
> * The "cmake-gui(1)" gained a Regular Expression Explorer which may
> be used to create and evaluate regular expressions in real-time. The
> explorer window is available via the "Tools" menu.
>
> Command-Line
> ------------
>
> * The "-Wdev" and "-Wno-dev" "cmake(1)" options now also enable and
> suppress the deprecated warnings output by default.
>
> * The suppression of developer warnings as errors can now be
> controlled with the new "-Werror=dev" and "-Wno-error=dev"
> the "cmake(1)" options.
>
> * The "cmake(1)" "-E" command-line tools "copy",
> "copy_if_different", "copy_directory", and "make_directory" learned
> to support multiple input files or directories.
>
> Commands
> --------
>
> * The "cmake_parse_arguments()" command is now implemented natively.
> The "CMakeParseArguments" module remains as an empty placeholder for
> compatibility.
>
> * The "install(DIRECTORY)" command learned to support "generator
> expressions" in the list of directories.
>
> Variables
> ---------
>
> * The "CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED" variable can now be set using the
> "-Werror=deprecated" and "-Wno-error=deprecated" "cmake(1)" options.
>
> * The "CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED" variable can now be set using the
> "-Wdeprecated" and "-Wno-deprecated" "cmake(1)" options.
>
> Properties
> ----------
>
> * The "VS_GLOBAL_<variable>" target property is now implemented for
> VS 2010 and above. Previously it worked only in VS 2008 and below.
>
> Modules
> -------
>
> * The "ExternalProject" module learned a new "GIT_REMOTE_NAME"
> option to control the "git clone --origin" value.
>

> "DEFINES_FILE" option to specify a custom output header to be
> generated.
>
> * The "FindGTest" module now provides imported targets.
>
> * The "FindGTK2" module, when "GTK2_USE_IMPORTED_TARGETS" is

> targets instead of the paths to the libraries. Moreover it now sets
> a new "GTK2_TARGETS" variable containing all the imported targets.
>
> * The "FindOpenMP" module learned to support Clang.
>
> * The "FindOpenSSL" module gained a new "OPENSSL_MSVC_STATIC_RT"
> option to search for libraries using the static MSVC runtime.
>
> * The "FindPNG" module now provides imported targets.
>
> * The "FindTIFF" module now provides imported targets.

> "Source" field using a monolithic or per-component variable. See
> "CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SOURCE".

> control fields per-component. See variables

> DMG. See the "CPACK_DMG_SLA_LANGUAGES" and "CPACK_DMG_SLA_DIR"
> variables for details.
>
