+CMake 3.19 Release Notes
+************************
+
+.. only:: html
+
+ .. contents::
+
+Changes made since CMake 3.18 include the following.
+
+New Features
+============
+
+Presets
+-------
+
+* :manual:`cmake(1)` and :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` now recognize
+ ``CMakePresets.json`` and ``CMakeUserPresets.json`` files.
+
+Generators
+----------
+
+* The :generator:`Xcode` generator now uses the Xcode "new build system"
+ when generating for Xcode 12.0 or higher.
+ See the :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_BUILD_SYSTEM` variable.
+ One may use ``-T buildsystem=1`` to switch to the legacy build system.
+
+* The :generator:`Xcode` generator gained support for linking libraries and
+ frameworks via the *Link Binaries With Libraries* build phase instead of
+ always by embedding linker flags directly. This behavior is controlled by
+ a new :prop_tgt:`XCODE_LINK_BUILD_PHASE_MODE` target property, which is
+ initialized by a new :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_LINK_BUILD_PHASE_MODE`
+ variable.
+
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2015 and above gained support
+ for the Visual Studio Tools for Android. One may now set
+ :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` to ``Android`` to generate ``.vcxproj`` files
+ for the Android tools.
+
+Languages
+---------
+
+* CMake learned to support ``ISPC`` as a first-class language that can be
+ enabled via the :command:`project` and :command:`enable_language` commands.
+ ``ISPC`` is currently supported by the :ref:`Makefile Generators`
+ and the :generator:`Ninja` generator on Linux, macOS, and Windows
+ using the Intel ISPC compiler.
+
+* ``CUDA`` language support for Clang now includes:
+
+ - separable compilation (:prop_tgt:`CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION`), and
+ - finding scattered toolkit installations when cross-compiling.
+
+File-Based API
+--------------
+
+* The :manual:`cmake-file-api(7)` "codemodel" version 2 ``version`` field has
+ been updated to 2.2.
+
+* The :manual:`cmake-file-api(7)` "codemodel" version 2 "target" object
+ gained a new ``languageStandard`` field in the ``compileGroups`` objects.
+
+Command-Line
+------------
+
+* The :manual:`cmake(1)` command-line tool's ``--install`` mode gained a
+ ``--default-directory-permissions`` option.
+
+* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``-E create_hardlink`` command-line tool
+ that can be used to create hardlinks between files.
+
+GUI
+---
+
+* The :manual:`CMake GUI <cmake-gui(1)>` now has an environment variable
+ editor.
+
+Commands
+--------
+
+* The :command:`add_test` command now (officially) supports whitespace and
+ other special characters in the name for the test it creates.
+ See policy :policy:`CMP0110`.
+
+* The :command:`cmake_language` command gained a ``DEFER`` mode to
+ schedule command calls to occur at the end of processing a directory.
+
+* The :command:`cmake_path` command was added for operations on
+ filesystem paths.
+
+* The :command:`configure_file` command gained a ``NO_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS``
+ option to suppress copying the input file's permissions to the output file.
+
+* The :command:`execute_process` command gained a ``COMMAND_ERROR_IS_FATAL``
+ option to specify a fatal error.
+
+* The :command:`file(ARCHIVE_CREATE)` command gained a ``COMPRESSION_LEVEL``
+ option to specify the compression level.
+
+* The :command:`file(CHMOD)` and :command:`file(CHMOD_RECURSE)` subcommands
+ were added to set permissions of files and directories.
+
+* The :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)` command ``<file>`` argument is now
+ optional. If it is not specified, the file is not saved.
+
+* The :command:`file(GENERATE)` command gained a new ``TARGET`` keyword to
+ support resolving target-dependent generator expressions.
+
+* The :command:`file` gained sub-command `REAL_PATH` to compute a path with
+ symlinks resolved.
+
+* The :command:`find_package` command learned to handle a version range.
+
+* The :command:`separate_arguments` command gained new ``PROGRAM`` option to
+ search program.
+
+* The :command:`set_property`, :command:`get_property`,
+ and :command:`get_directory_property` commands' ``DIRECTORY``
+ options now accept references to binary directory paths,
+ such as the value of :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR`.
+
+* The :command:`string` command gained set of new ``JSON`` sub commands
+ to provide JSON parsing capabilities.
+
+Variables
+---------
+
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_CLANG_VFS_OVERLAY` variable was added to tell
+ Clang to use a VFS overlay to support the Windows SDK when
+ cross-compiling from hosts with case-sensitive filesystems.
+
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_MFC_FLAG` variable now supports generator expressions.
+
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_OPTIMIZE_DEPENDENCIES` variable was added to
+ initialize the new :prop_tgt:`OPTIMIZE_DEPENDENCIES` target property and
+ avoid unnecessarily building dependencies for a static library.
+
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MAXIMUM` variable
+ was added to tell the :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` what maximum
+ version of the Windows SDK to choose.
+
+Properties
+----------
+
+* The :prop_tgt:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` target property now supports
+ :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
+
+* The :prop_tgt:`OPTIMIZE_DEPENDENCIES` target property was added to
+ avoid unnecessarily building dependencies for a static library.
+
+* The :prop_tgt:`PCH_INSTANTIATE_TEMPLATES` target property was added to enable
+ template instantiation in the precompiled header. This is enabled by default
+ and offers a roughly 20% compile time improvement. Currently only supported
+ by Clang 11.
+
+* The :prop_tgt:`WIN32_EXECUTABLE` target property now supports
+ :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
+
+Modules
+-------
+
+* The :module:`CheckCompilerFlag` module has been added to
+ generalize :module:`CheckCCompilerFlag` and
+ :module:`CheckCXXCompilerFlag` to more languages.
+ It also supports the ``CUDA`` and ``ISPC`` languages.
+
+* The :module:`CheckLinkerFlag` module now supports the ``CUDA`` language.
+
+* The :module:`CheckSourceCompiles` module has been added to
+ generalize :module:`CheckCSourceCompiles` and
+ :module:`CheckCXXSourceCompiles` to more languages.
+ It also supports the ``CUDA`` and ``ISPC`` languages.
+
+* The :module:`CheckSourceRuns` module has been added to
+ generalize :module:`CheckCSourceRuns` and
+ :module:`CheckCXXSourceRuns` to more languages.
+ It also supports the ``CUDA`` language.
+
+* :module:`CMakePackageConfigHelpers` module learned to manage version range.
+
+* The :module:`FindCUDAToolkit` module gained support for finding CUDA
+ toolkits that do not contain ``nvcc``, as well as for finding scattered
+ toolkit installations when cross-compiling.
+
+* The :module:`FindPackageHandleStandardArgs` module learned to handle
+ version range. It also gained the ``find_package_check_version()`` command to
+ check the validity of a version against version-related arguments of
+ :command:`find_package` command.
+
+* The :module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2` and :module:`FindPython`
+ modules gained the capability to manage a version range.
+
+* The :module:`FindSDL` module now provides:
+
+ * imported target ``SDL::SDL``,
+
+ * result variables ``SDL_LIBRARIES`` and ``SDL_INCLUDE_DIRS``,
+
+ * version variables ``SDL_VERSION``, ``SDL_VERSION_MAJOR``
+ ``SDL_VERSION_MINOR``, and ``SDL_VERSION_PATCH``.
+
+* :module:`FindSWIG` module gains the capability to manage a version range.
+
+* The :module:`FindTIFF` module gained a ``CXX`` component to
+ find the ``tiffxx`` library containing C++ bindings.
+
+* The :module:`FindVulkan` module now provides a ``Vulkan::glslc`` imported
+ target and associated ``Vulkan_GLSLC_EXECUTABLE`` variable which contain
+ the path to the GLSL SPIR-V compiler.
+
+* :module:`UseSWIG` module gains new source file properties ``OUTPUT_DIR`` and
+ ``OUTFILE_DIR`` to manage output directories on per source basis.
+
+CTest
+-----
+
+* :manual:`ctest(1)` now supports ``compute-sanitizer`` (``cuda-memcheck``) as
+ ``CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND``. The different tools (memcheck, racecheck,
+ synccheck, initcheck) supplied by ``compute-sanitizer`` can be selected by
+ adding appropriate flags to the ``CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND_OPTIONS``
+ variable. The default flags are ``--tool memcheck --leak-check full``.
+
+CPack
+-----
+
+* CPack gained the :variable:`CPACK_PRE_BUILD_SCRIPTS`,
+ :variable:`CPACK_POST_BUILD_SCRIPTS`, and :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_FILES`
+ variables.
+
+* The :cpack_gen:`CPack External Generator` gained the
+ :variable:`CPACK_EXTERNAL_BUILT_PACKAGES` variable.
+
+* The :cpack_gen:`CPack WIX Generator` gained a
+ :variable:`CPACK_WIX_CUSTOM_XMLNS` option to specify custom XML namespaces.
+
+Other
+-----
+
+* :ref:`Interface Libraries` may now have source files added via
+ :command:`add_library` or :command:`target_sources`. Those
+ with sources will be generated as part of the build system.
+
+Deprecated and Removed Features
+===============================
+
+* Compatibility with versions of CMake older than 2.8.12 is now deprecated
+ and will be removed from a future version. Calls to
+ :command:`cmake_minimum_required` or :command:`cmake_policy` that set
+ the policy version to an older value now issue a deprecation diagnostic.
+
+* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policy ``CMP0071``
+ (``CMP0071`` and below were already deprecated).
+ The :manual:`cmake-policies(7)` manual explains that the OLD behaviors
+ of all policies are deprecated and that projects should port to the
+ NEW behaviors.
+
+* macOS SDKs older than 10.5 are no longer supported.
+
+* :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` now requires Qt5.
+ Support for compiling with Qt4 has been removed.
+
+* The :manual:`cmake(1)` command-line option ``--warn-unused-vars`` has
+ been removed and is now silently ignored. The option has not worked
+ correctly since CMake 3.3.
+
+Documentation
+=============
+
+The following guides have been added:
+
+* :guide:`IDE Integration Guide`
+* :guide:`Importing and Exporting Guide`
+
+Other Changes
+=============
+
+* Building for macOS will now use the latest SDK available on the system,
+ unless the user has explicitly chosen a SDK using
+ :variable:`CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT`. The deployment target or system macOS
+ version will not affect the choice of SDK.
+
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER` variable may now be used to
+ store "mandatory" compiler flags like the :envvar:`CC` and other environment
+ variables.
+
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_INIT` variable will now be considered
+ during the compiler identification check if other sources like
+ :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS` or :envvar:`CFLAGS` are not set.
+
+* The :command:`find_program` command now requires permission to execute
+ but not to read the file found. See policy :policy:`CMP0109`.
+
+* An imported target with a missing location now fails during generation
+ if the location is used. See policy :policy:`CMP0111`.
+
+* The following target-based generator expressions that query for directory or
+ file name components no longer add a dependency on the evaluated target.
+ See policy :policy:`CMP0112`.
+
+ - ``TARGET_FILE_DIR``
+ - ``TARGET_LINKER_FILE_BASE_NAME``
+ - ``TARGET_LINKER_FILE_NAME``
+ - ``TARGET_LINKER_FILE_DIR``
+ - ``TARGET_SONAME_FILE_NAME``
+ - ``TARGET_SONAME_FILE_DIR``
+ - ``TARGET_PDB_FILE_NAME``
+ - ``TARGET_PDB_FILE_DIR``
+ - ``TARGET_BUNDLE_DIR``
+ - ``TARGET_BUNDLE_CONTENT_DIR``
+
+* :ref:`Makefile Generators` no longer repeat custom commands from target
+ dependencies. See policy :policy:`CMP0113`.
+
+* The :module:`ExternalProject` module handling of step target dependencies
+ has been revised. See policy :policy:`CMP0114`.
+
+* The :prop_tgt:`OSX_ARCHITECTURES` target property is now respected
+ for the ``ASM`` language.
+
+* If ``CUDA`` compiler detection fails with user-specified
+ :variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES` or
+ :variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_HOST_COMPILER`, an error is raised.
