Hi,

So I've started bringing the matrix up to date. Just to make sure I'm not 
reporting documentation-changes as real changes, please take a look at the 
following items and correct me where I'm wrong:

Changes from 2.8.3 to 2.8.4:
----------------------------

* get_cmake_property:
previously reported an error when property was not found, now only the result 
variable is set to NOTFOUND.

* get_test_property:
Parameters "VAR" and "property" swapped in docu - I guess this was a doc-bug 
in earlier versions.
Additionally, the same behaviour change as in get_cmake_property (didn't this 
change in all get_*_property commands?).

* try_compile, try_run:
Mention of CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION is added to the doc for 
completeness? Or was it not available before?


Changes from 2.8.4 to 2.8.5:
----------------------------

* add_custom_command, add_custom_target:
Option WORKING_DIRECTORY did not alter behaviour w.r.t relative paths, just 
the doc was improved?

* find_package:
Is the support for setting a package-directory in 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Kitware\CMake\Packages\<package> (windows) or 
~/.cmake/packages/<package> (unix) new, or just not that well documented 
before?

* list:
I guess the scoping of the variables by list command is new?


Well, that's all for now. I'll keep asking here as new questions arise...

Cheers,
  Johannes
