+CMake 3.8 Release Notes
+***********************
+
+.. only:: html
+
+  .. contents::
+
+Changes made since CMake 3.7 include the following.
+
+* A :variable:`CMAKE_BUILD_RPATH` variable and corresponding
+  :prop_tgt:`BUILD_RPATH` target property were added to support custom
+  ``RPATH`` locations to be added to binaries in the build tree.
+
+* A :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CPPLINT` target property and supporting
+  :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_CPPLINT` variable were introduced to tell
+  the :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator to
+  run the ``cpplint`` style checker along with the compiler for ``C`` and
+  ``CXX`` languages.
+
+* CMake functionality using cryptographic hashes now supports SHA-3 algorithms.
+
+* The :prop_tgt:`MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG>` target property learned
+  to interpret empty list elements as referring to the configuration-less
+  imported location specified by :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LOCATION`.
+
+* If a command specified by the :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` target property
+  returns non-zero at build time this is now treated as an error instead of
+  silently ignored.
+
+* The ``CDASH_UPLOAD`` signature of :command:`ctest_submit` was taught to honor
+  the ``RETRY_COUNT``, ``RETRY_DELAY``, and ``QUIET`` options.
+
+* The :generator:`CodeBlocks` now can generate with
+  :generator:`NMake Makefiles JOM`.
+
+* The :generator:`CodeLite` extra generator gained a new option
+  set by the :variable:`CMAKE_CODELITE_USE_TARGETS` variable to
+  change the generated project to have target-centric organization.
+  The "build", "rebuild", and "clean" operations within CodeLite
+  then work on a selected target rather than the whole workspace.
+  (Note that the :generator:`Ninja` clean operation on a target
+  includes its dependencies, though.)
+
+* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality
+  now offers meta-features that request compiler modes for specific language
+  standard levels.  See :prop_gbl:`CMAKE_C_KNOWN_FEATURES` and
+  :prop_gbl:`CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES`.
+
+* The :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_file` command was added
+  (in :module:`CPackIFWConfigureFile`) to configure file templates prepared
+  in QtIFW/SDK/Creator style.
+
+* The :module:`CPackIFWConfigureFile` module was added to define
+  :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_file` command.
+
+* The :module:`CPackIFW` module :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component` and
+  :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component_group` commands gained a new
+  ``DEFAULT``, ``VIRTUAL``, ``FORCED_INSTALLATION``, ``REQUIRES_ADMIN_RIGHTS``,
+  ``DISPLAY_NAME``, ``UPDATE_TEXT``, ``DESCRIPTION``, ``RELEASE_DATE``,
+  ``AUTO_DEPEND_ON`` and ``TRANSLATIONS`` options to more specific
+  configuration.
+
+* The :module:`CPackIFW` module :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component`
+  command gained a new ``DEPENDENCIES`` alias for ``DEPENDS`` option.
+
+* The :module:`CPackIFW` module :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component_group`
+  command gained a new ``DEPENDS`` option. The ``DEPENDENCIES`` alias also
+  added.
+
+* The :module:`CPackIFW` module :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component` and
+  :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component_group` commands ``PRIORITY``
+  option now is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of CMake.
+  Please use new ``SORTING_PRIORITY`` option instead.
+
+* The :module:`CPackIFW` module gained new :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_WATERMARK`, :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_BANNER`,
+  :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_BACKGROUND`, :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_WIZARD_STYLE`, :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_WIZARD_DEFAULT_WIDTH`,
+  :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_WIZARD_DEFAULT_HEIGHT` and :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_TITLE_COLOR`
+  variables to customize a QtIFW installer look.
+
+* The :module:`CPackProductBuild` module gained options to sign packages.
+  See the variables :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_IDENTITY_NAME`,
+  :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_KEYCHAIN_PATH`,
+  :variable:`CPACK_PKGBUILD_IDENTITY_NAME`, and
+  :variable:`CPACK_PKGBUILD_KEYCHAIN_PATH`.
+
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to omit
+  tags that are not supported by provided
+  rpmbuild tool. If unsupported tags are set
+  they are ignored and a developer warning is
+  printed out.
+
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to generate main component package
+  which forces generation of a rpm for defined component without component
+  suffix in filename and package name.
+  See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_MAIN_COMPONENT` variable.
+
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to generate a single debuginfo package
+  on demand even if components packagin is used.
+  See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_SINGLE_PACKAGE` variable.
+
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to support
+  multiple directives per file when using
+  :variable:`CPACK_RPM_USER_FILELIST` variable.
+
+* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command gained a ``DEFECT_COUNT <var>``
+  option to capture the number of memory defects detected.
+
+* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command learned to support ``LeakSanitizer``
+  independently from ``AddressSanitizer``.
+
+* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command no longer automatically adds
+  ``leak_check=1`` to the options used by ``AddressSanitizer``. The default
+  behavior of ``AddressSanitizer`` is to run `LeakSanitizer` to check leaks
+  unless ``leak_check=0``.
+
+* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command learned to read the location of
+  suppressions files for sanitizers from the
+  :variable:`CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_SUPPRESSIONS_FILE` variable.
+
+* The :command:`ctest_memcheck` command was fixed to correctly append extra
+  sanitizer options read from the
+  :variable:`CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_SANITIZER_OPTIONS` variable to the environment
+  variables used internally by the sanitizers.
+
+* CMake learned to support CUDA as a first-class language.
+  It is supported by the :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the
+  :generator:`Ninja` generator.
+
+* The :command:`execute_process` command gained an ``ENCODING`` option to
+  specify on Windows which encoding is used for output from child process.
+
+* The commands :command:`add_custom_command` and :command:`add_custom_target`
+  learned the option ``COMMAND_EXPAND_LISTS`` which causes lists in the
+  ``COMMAND`` argument to be expanded, including lists created by generator
+  expressions.
+
+* The :module:`ExternalData` module learned to support multiple
+  content links for one data file using different hashes, e.g.
+  ``img.png.sha256`` and ``img.png.sha1``.  This allows objects
+  to be fetched from sources indexed by different hash algorithms.
+
+* The :module:`ExternalProject` module gained the ``GIT_PROGRESS`` option to
+  force Git to show progress when cloning repositories.
+
+* The :module:`ExternalProject` module gained a ``GIT_CONFIG`` option
+  to pass ``--config`` options to Git when cloning repositories.
+
+* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality
+  is now aware of C++ 17.  No specific features are yet enumerated besides
+  the ``cxx_std_17`` meta-feature.
+
+* The :command:`set_package_info`, :command:`set_feature_info`,
+  :command:`print_enabled_features` and :command:`print_disabled_features`
+  commands from the the :module:`FeatureSummary` module are now deprecated.
+
+* The :command:`set_package_properties` command no longer forces the package
+  type to ``OPTIONAL`` when the type is not explicitly set.
+
+* The :command:`feature_summary` command in the :module:`FeatureSummary` module
+  accepts the new ``QUIET_ON_EMPTY`` option that will suppresses the output when
+  the list of packages that belong to the selected category is empty.
+
+* The :command:`add_feature_info` in the :module:`FeatureSummary` module learned
+  to accept lists of dependencies for deciding whether a feature is enabled or
+  not.
+
+* The package types accepted by the the :module:`FeatureSummary` module can now
+  be tweaked by changing the :variable:`FeatureSummary_PKG_TYPES`,
+  :variable:`FeatureSummary_REQUIRED_PKG_TYPES` and
+  :variable:`FeatureSummary_DEFAULT_PKG_TYPE` global properties.
+
+* The :module:`FindOpenGL` module now provides imported targets
+  ``OpenGL::GL`` and ``OpenGL::GLU`` when the libraries are found.
+
+* A new minimal platform file for Fuchsia was added.
+
+* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality
+  is now aware of the availability of C99 in gcc since version 3.4.
+
+* A new logical generator expression for immediate-if was added:
+  ``$<IF:cond,true-value,false-value>``. It takes three arguments: One
+  condition, a true-value, and a false-value. Resolves to the true-value if the
+  condition is ``1``, and resolves to the false-value if the condition is ``0``.
+
+* :ref:`Imported <Imported Targets>` :ref:`Interface Libraries` learned new
+  :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LIBNAME` and :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_LIBNAME_<CONFIG>`
+  target properties to specify a link library name since interface libraries
+  do not build their own library files.
+
+* The :prop_tgt:`NO_SYSTEM_FROM_IMPORTED` target property is now supported
+  on :ref:`Imported <Imported Targets>` :ref:`Interface Libraries`.
+
+* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality
+  is now aware of features supported by Intel C++ compilers versions 12.1
+  through 17.0 on UNIX and Windows platforms.
+
+* The target property :prop_tgt:`MANUALLY_ADDED_DEPENDENCIES` has
+  been added.  It is read-only and could be used to retrieve
+  dependencies that have been added with :command:`add_dependencies`.
+
+* The :command:`math(EXPR)` command gained support for unary
+  ``+`` and ``-`` expressions.
+
+* Calls to the :module:`FindPkgConfig` module :command:`pkg_check_modules`
+  command following a successful call learned to re-evaluate the cached values
+  for a given prefix after changes to the parameters to the command for that
+  prefix.
+
+* When using AUTOMOC or AUTOUIC, generated
+  ``moc_*``, ``*.moc`` and ``ui_*`` are placed in the
+  ``<CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR>/<TARGETNAME>_autogen/include`` directory which
+  is automatically added to the target's :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`.
+  It is therefore not necessary anymore to have
+  :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR` in the target's
+  :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`.
+
+* The source file properties
+  :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOMOC`,
+  :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOUIC`,
+  :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTORCC` and
+  :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOGEN`
+  allow to exclude files from
+  :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`,
+  :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` and
+  :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` processing.
+
+* The :command:`string(TIMESTAMP)` will now honor the ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH``
+  environment variable and use its value instead of the current time.
+
+* The :command:`source_group` command gained ``TREE`` and ``PREFIX``
+  options to add groups following source tree directory structure.
+
+* The :prop_sf:`COMPILE_FLAGS` source file property learned to support
+  :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
+
+* The :generator:`Sublime Text 2` extra generator learned to place
+  environment variables in the generated ``.sublime-project``.
+  See the :variable:`CMAKE_SUBLIME_TEXT_2_ENV_SETTINGS` variable.
+
+* The :generator:`Sublime Text 2` extra generator no longer excludes the
+  build tree from the ``.sublime-project`` when it is inside the source tree.
+  The :variable:`CMAKE_SUBLIME_TEXT_2_EXCLUDE_BUILD_TREE` variable
+  was added to control the behavior explicitly.
+
+* The :prop_tgt:`FRAMEWORK` property could now also be applied to
+  static libraries on Apple targets.  It will result in a proper
+  Framework but with a static library inside.
+
+* The :generator:`Sublime Text 2` generator no longer runs the native
+  build command (e.g. ``ninja`` or ``make``) with verbose build output
+  enabled.
+
+* The :module:`UseSWIG` module gained a ``swig_add_library`` command
+  to give more flexibility over the old ``swig_add_module`` command.
+
+* The :module:`UseSWIG` module ``swig_add_module`` command is now
+  deprecated in favor of ``swig_add_library``.
+
+* The :command:`string(TIMESTAMP)` command learned to treat ``%%``
+  as a way to encode plain ``%``.
+
+* The :command:`try_compile` command source file signature now
+  honors the :variable:`CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED` variable value
+  in the generated test project.
+
+* The :command:`try_compile` command source file signature gained new options
+  to specify the language standard to use in the generated test project.
+
+* The :command:`try_compile` command source file signature now honors
+  language standard variables like :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD`.
+  See policy :policy:`CMP0067`.
+
+* The :module:`UseSWIG` module ``swig_add_source_to_module`` command
+  learned a new ``SWIG_OUTFILE_DIR`` option to control the output
+  file location (``swig -o``).
+
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above
+  learned some more source file properties:
+
+  - :prop_sf:`VS_RESOURCE_GENERATOR` (C# only): allows setting the resource
+    generator
+  - :prop_sf:`VS_COPY_TO_OUT_DIR`: parameter to set if file should be copied
+    to output directory (values: ``Never``, ``Always``, ``PreserveNewest``)
+  - :prop_sf:`VS_INCLUDE_IN_VSIX`: boolean property to include file include
+    Visual Studio extension package
+
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above
+  learned to support the C# language. C# assemblies and
+  programs can be added just like common C++ targets using
+  the :command:`add_library` and :command:`add_executable`
+  commands. Referencing between several C# targets in the same
+  source tree is done by :command:`target_link_libraries` like
+  for C++. Referencing to system or 3rd party assemblies is
+  done by the target properties :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCE_<refname>`
+  and :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES`.
+
+* C# as a language can be enabled using :command:`enable_language`
+  or :command:`project` with ``CSharp``. It is not enabled by
+  default.
+
+* Flag variables, target properties and other configuration
+  that specifically targets C# contains ``CSharp`` as a part of
+  their names.
+
+* More finetuning of C# targets can be done using target and source
+  file properties. Specifically the Visual Studio related target
+  properties (``VS_*``) are worth a look (for setting toolset
+  versions, root namespaces, assembly icons, ...).
+
+* **Auto-"linking"** in .csproj files: In C#/.NET development with
+  Visual Studio there is a number of visual editors used which
+  generate code. Both the generated files and the ones edited
+  with the UI are connected in the ``.csproj`` file using
+  ``<DependentUpon>`` tags. If CMake finds within a C# project
+  any source file with extension ``.Designer.cs`` or ``.xaml.cs``,
+  it checks sibling files with extension ``.xaml``, ``.settings``,
+  ``.resx`` or ``.cs`` and establishes the dependency connection.
+
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above can
+  now be fine tuned using custom msbuild .props files.
+  :prop_tgt:`VS_USER_PROPS` can be
+  used to change the default path of the user .props file from
+  ``$(UserRootDir)\\Microsoft.Cpp.$(Platform).user.props`` to
+  an arbitrary filename.
+
+* For the :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above
+  the working directory for debugging can be set using a new
+  :prop_tgt:`VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY` target property.
+
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above now support
+  adding the PACKAGE target to the targets which are built by default.
+  The behavior is similar to :variable:`CMAKE_VS_INCLUDE_INSTALL_TO_DEFAULT_BUILD`
+  and can be toggled using :variable:`CMAKE_VS_INCLUDE_PACKAGE_TO_DEFAULT_BUILD`.
+
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above can
+  now handle .NET references with hintpaths. For this the new
+  target property group :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCE_<refname>`
+  was introduced. The ``<refname>`` part of the property name will
+  be the name of the reference, the value will be the actual
+  path to the assembly.
+
+* Copying of referenced assemblies to the output directory can
+  now be disabled using the target property
+  :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES_COPY_LOCAL`.
+
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above now place
+  per-source file flags after target-wide flags when they are classified
+  as raw flags with no project file setting (``AdditionalOptions``).
+  This behavior is more consistent with the ordering of flags produced
+  by other generators, and allows flags on more-specific properties
+  (per-source) to override those on more general ones (per-target).
+
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2013 and above learned to
+  support a ``host=x64`` option in the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET`
+  value (e.g.  via the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-T`` option) to request use
+  of a VS 64-bit toolchain on 64-bit hosts.
+
+* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` learned to treat files passed to
+  :command:`target_link_libraries` whose names end in ``.targets``
+  as MSBuild targets files to be imported into generated project files.
+
+* The :module:`WriteCompilerDetectionHeader` module gained the
+  ``ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILERS`` and ``ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSIONS`` options
+  that allow creation of headers that will work also with unknown or old
+  compilers by simply assuming they do not support any of the requested
+  features.
+
+* The precompiled Windows binary MSI package provided on ``cmake.org`` now
+  records the installation directory in the Windows Registry under the key
+  ``HKLM\Software\Kitware\CMake`` with a value named ``InstallDir``.
+
+* The Xcode generator can now control emission of the
+  ``EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME`` variable through the
+  :prop_gbl:`XCODE_EMIT_EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME` global property.
+  This is useful when building with multiple SDKs like macosx and
+  iphoneos in parallel.
+
+* New :prop_tgt:`XCODE_PRODUCT_TYPE` and :prop_tgt:`XCODE_EXPLICIT_FILE_TYPE`
+  target properties were created to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator
+  to use custom values of the corresponding attributes for a target in the
+  generated Xcode project.

-------------------------
-
-* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above
-  learned to support the C# language. C# assemblies and
-  programs can be added just like common C++ targets using
-  the :command:`add_library` and :command:`add_executable`
-  commands. Referencing between several C# targets in the same
-  source tree is done by :command:`target_link_libraries` like
-  for C++. Referencing to system or 3rd party assemblies is
-  done by the target properties :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCE_<refname>`
-  and :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES`.
-
-* C# as a language can be enabled using :command:`enable_language`
-  or :command:`project` with ``CSharp``. It is not enabled by
-  default.
-
-* Flag variables, target properties and other configuration
-  that specifically targets C# contains ``CSharp`` as a part of
-  their names.
-
-* More finetuning of C# targets can be done using target and source
-  file properties. Specifically the Visual Studio related target
-  properties (``VS_*``) are worth a look (for setting toolset
-  versions, root namespaces, assembly icons, ...).
-
-* **Auto-"linking"** in .csproj files: In C#/.NET development with
-  Visual Studio there is a number of visual editors used which
-  generate code. Both the generated files and the ones edited
-  with the UI are connected in the ``.csproj`` file using
-  ``<DependentUpon>`` tags. If CMake finds within a C# project
-  any source file with extension ``.Designer.cs`` or ``.xaml.cs``,
-  it checks sibling files with extension ``.xaml``, ``.settings``,
-  ``.resx`` or ``.cs`` and establishes the dependency connection.
