 Changes made since CMake 3.6 include the following.
 
-* The :command:`install` command gained an ``EXPORT_ANDROID_MK``
-  subcommand to install ``Android.mk`` files referencing installed
-  libraries as prebuilts for the Android NDK build system.
-
-* The :command:`export` command gained an ``ANDROID_MK`` option
-  to generate ``Android.mk`` files referencing CMake-built
-  libraries as prebuilts for the Android NDK build system.
-
-* A :module:`AndroidTestUtilities` module was added to manage transfer of
-  test data to an Android device.
-
-* The :command:`if` command gained new boolean comparison operations
-  ``LESS_EQUAL``, ``GREATER_EQUAL``, ``STRLESS_EQUAL``, ``STRGREATER_EQUAL``,
-  ``VERSION_LESS_EQUAL``, and ``VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL``.
+New Features
+============
 
-* The Clang compiler is now supported on AIX.
+Platforms
+---------
 
 * CMake now supports :ref:`Cross Compiling for Android` with simple
   toolchain files.
 
-* On Apple platforms the :prop_tgt:`BUNDLE_EXTENSION` now also applies to
-  Frameworks and App Bundles.
-
-* The :module:`FindBZip2` module now provides imported targets.
+* The Clang compiler is now supported on AIX.
 
-* :manual:`ccmake(1)` learned to support vim-like navigation bindings.
+Generators
+----------
 
-* The :module:`CheckFortranSourceCompiles` module macro
-  ``CHECK_Fortran_SOURCE_COMPILES`` gained a ``SRC_EXT`` option
-  to specify a custom test Fortran source file extension.
+* The :generator:`Ninja` generator learned to conditionally support
+  Fortran when using a ``ninja`` tool that has the necessary features.
+  See generator documentation for details.
 
-* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``-E capabilities`` option to provide a
-  machine-readable (JSON) description of the capabilities of the
-  cmake tool (available generators, etc.).
+* The :generator:`Ninja` generator learned to produce phony targets
+  of the form ``sub/dir/{test,install,package}`` to drive the build
+  of a subdirectory installation, test or packaging target.
+  This is equivalent to ``cd sub/dir; make {test,install,package}``
+  with :ref:`Makefile Generators`.
 
-* :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` gained a button to open the generated project file
-  for :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` and the :generator:`Xcode` generator.
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 15` generator was added.  This is
+  experimental and based on Preview 4 because this version of VS
+  has not been released.
 
-* A new :manual:`cmake-server(7)` mode was added to provide semantic
-  information about a CMake-generated buildsystem to clients through
-  a JSON protocol.
+* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above learned to
+  place ``.natvis`` source files into VS project files properly.
 
-* The :manual:`cmake(1)` command learned a ``--trace-source=<file>`` option.
+* The :generator:`Xcode` generator's rudimentary Swift language support
+  learned to honor a new :variable:`CMAKE_Swift_LANGUAGE_VERSION` variable
+  to tell Xcode what version of Swift is used by the source.
 
 * The :generator:`CodeLite` generator gained a new
   :variable:`CMAKE_CODELITE_USE_TARGETS` option
   to change project creation from projects to targets.
 
-* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned to support long file names
-  when archive format is set to GNU tar.
-  See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_ARCHIVE_TYPE`
+Commands
+--------
 
-* CPack gained a new :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_CHECKSUM` variable to
-  enable generation of a checksum file for each package file.
+* The :command:`add_custom_command` command gained a new ``DEPFILE``
+  option that works with the :generator:`Ninja` generator to provide
+  implicit dependency information to the build tool.
 
-* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to generate debuginfo
-  packages on demand. See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_PACKAGE`
-  and its per component version.
+* The :command:`cmake_parse_arguments` command gained a new ``PARSE_ARGV``
+  mode to read arguments directly from ``ARGC`` and ``ARGV#``
+  variables inside a :command:`function` body.
 
-* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to generate source rpm
-  (SRPM) packages on demand. See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_SOURCES`,
-  :variable:`CPACK_RPM_SOURCE_PKG_BUILD_PARAMS` and
-  :variable:`CPACK_RPM_SOURCE_PKG_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX`.
+* The :command:`export` command gained an ``ANDROID_MK`` option
+  to generate ``Android.mk`` files referencing CMake-built
+  libraries as prebuilts for the Android NDK build system.
 
-* The :command:`ctest_configure`, :command:`ctest_build`,
-  :command:`ctest_test`, :command:`ctest_coverage`, and :command:`ctest_upload`
-  commands gained a new ``CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR`` option to capture any errors
-  that occur as the commands run into a variable and avoid affecting the return
-  code of the :manual:`ctest(1)` process.
+* The :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)` and :command:`file(UPLOAD)` commands gained
+  ``HTTPHEADER <HTTP-header>`` and ``USERPWD <username>:<password>`` options.
 
-* A :prop_dir:`SOURCE_DIR` directory property was added to get the
-  absolute path to the source directory associated with a directory.
+* The :command:`find_library` and :command:`find_package` commands learned
+  to search in ``lib32/`` directories when the build targets a 32-bit
+  architecture.  See the :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB32_PATHS` global
+  property.
+
+* The :command:`find_package` command gained the possibility of
+  sorting compatible libraries by ``NAME`` or by ``NATURAL`` sorting by
+  setting the two new variables :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_ORDER`
+  and :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_DIRECTION`.

+  commands gained support for the ``%a`` and ``%b`` placeholders.
+  These are the abbreviated weekday and month names.
+
+* The :command:`try_compile` command source file signature now honors
+  configuration-specific flags (e.g. :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_DEBUG`)
+  in the generated test project.  Previously only the default such flags
+  for the current toolchain were used.  See policy :policy:`CMP0066`.
