Some of the notable changes in this release are:

    - per target include directories via the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target property
    - new Ninja generator on Linux
    - CMakeAddFortranSubdirectory: build MSVC compatible dlls with
MinGW gfortran
    - CMakePackageConfigHelpers: an easy way to generate a package
config file for your package

        (do not write a new Find module, provide a package config file)

    - various find_package improvements: MODULE mode, clearer error messages
    - support for Xcode 4.3 (which has a new default location, and a
new directory structure)
    - update libarchive to newer upstream version: "libarchive
3.0.2-r4051 (reduced)"
    - new OBJECT_LIBRARY target type, CMake flavored "convenience libraries"
    - major Find module clean up effort: consistent use of -
FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS, add version number variables
    - much improved CPack documentation, see "cpack --help-command"
and "cpack --help-variable"
    - and, as always, various minor bug fixes

Following is the complete list of changes in this rc since the last
release. Please try this version of CMake on your projects and report
any issues to the list or the bug tracker.



Thanks!
