+CMake 3.6 Release Notes
+***********************
+
+.. only:: html
+
+ .. contents::
+
+Changes made since CMake 3.5 include the following.
+
+New Features
+============
+
+Generators
+----------
+
+* The :generator:`Ninja` generator learned to produce phony targets
+ of the form ``sub/dir/all`` to drive the build of a subdirectory.
+ This is equivalent to ``cd sub/dir; make all`` with
+ :ref:`Makefile Generators`.
+
+* The :generator:`Ninja` generator now includes system header files in build
+ dependencies to ensure correct re-builds when system packages are updated.
+
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 14 2015` generator learned to support the
+ Clang/C2 toolsets, e.g. with the ``-T v140_clang_3_7`` option.
+ This feature is experimental.
+
+Commands
+--------
+
+* The :command:`add_custom_command` and :command:`add_custom_target` commands
+ learned how to use the :prop_tgt:`CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` executable
+ target property.
+
+* The :command:`install` command learned a new ``EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL`` option
+ to leave installation rules out of the default installation.
+
+* The :command:`list` command gained a ``FILTER`` sub-command to filter
+ list elements by regular expression.
+
+* The :command:`string(TIMESTAMP)` and :command:`file(TIMESTAMP)`
+ commands gained support for the ``%s`` placeholder. This is
+ the number of seconds since the UNIX Epoch.
+
+Variables
+---------
+
+* A :variable:`CMAKE_DEPENDS_IN_PROJECT_ONLY` variable was introduced
+ to tell :ref:`Makefile Generators` to limit dependency scanning only
+ to files in the project source and build trees.
+
+* A new :variable:`CMAKE_HOST_SOLARIS` variable was introduced to
+ indicate when CMake is running on an Oracle Solaris host.
+
+* A :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` variable was
+ added for use by toolchain files to specify system include directories
+ to be appended to all compiler command lines.
+
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_LIBRARIES` variable is now documented.
+ It is intended for use by toolchain files to specify system libraries to be
+ added to all linker command lines.
+
+* A :variable:`CMAKE_NINJA_OUTPUT_PATH_PREFIX` variable was introduced
+ to tell the :generator:`Ninja` generator to configure the generated
+ ``build.ninja`` file for use as a ``subninja``.
+
+* A :variable:`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES` variable was
+ added for use by toolchain files to specify platform-specific
+ variables that must be propagated by the :command:`try_compile`
+ command into test projects.
+
+* A :variable:`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` variable was added
+ to optionally tell the :command:`try_compile` command to build
+ a static library instead of an executable. This is useful for
+ cross-compiling toolchains that cannot link binaries without
+ custom flags or scripts.
+
+Properties
+----------
+
+* A :prop_tgt:`DEPLOYMENT_REMOTE_DIRECTORY` target property was introduced
+ to tell the :generator:`Visual Studio 9 2008` and
+ :generator:`Visual Studio 8 2005` generators to generate the "remote
+ directory" for WinCE project deployment and debugger settings.
+
+* A :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` target property and supporting
+ :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` variable were introduced to tell the
+ :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator to run
+ ``clang-tidy`` along with the compiler for ``C`` and ``CXX`` languages.
+
+* A :prop_test:`TIMEOUT_AFTER_MATCH` test property was introduced to
+ optionally tell CTest to enforce a secondary timeout after matching
+ certain output from a test.
+
+* A :prop_tgt:`VS_CONFIGURATION_TYPE` target property was introduced
+ to specify a custom project file type for :ref:`Visual Studio Generators`
+ supporting VS 2010 and above.
+
+* A :prop_dir:`VS_STARTUP_PROJECT` directory property was introduced
+ to specify for :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` the default startup
+ project for generated solutions (``.sln`` files).
+
+Modules
+-------
+
+* The :module:`CMakePushCheckState` module now pushes/pops/resets the variable
+ ``CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILE`` used in :module:`CheckTypeSize`.
+
+* The :module:`ExternalProject` module leared the ``GIT_SHALLOW 1``
+ option to perform a shallow clone of a Git repository.
+
+* The :module:`ExternalProject` module learned to initialize Git submodules
+ recursively and also to initialize new submodules on updates. Use the
+ ``GIT_SUBMODULES`` option to restrict which submodules are initalized and
+ updated.
+
+* The :module:`ExternalProject` module leared the ``DOWNLOAD_NO_EXTRACT 1``
+ argument to skip extracting the file that is downloaded (e.g., for
+ self-extracting shell installers or ``.msi`` files).
+
+* The :module:`ExternalProject` module now uses ``TLS_VERIFY`` when fetching
+ from git repositories.
+
+* The :module:`FindBLAS` and :module:`FindLAPACK` modules learned to
+ support `OpenBLAS <http://www.openblas.net>`__.
+
+* The :module:`FindCUDA` module learned to find the ``cublas_device`` library.
+
+* The :module:`FindGTest` module ``gtest_add_tests`` function now causes
+ CMake to automatically re-run when test sources change so that they
+ can be re-scanned.
+
+* The :module:`FindLTTngUST` module was introduced to find the LTTng-UST
+ library.
+
+* The :module:`FindPkgConfig` module learned to optionally create imported
+ targets for the libraries it has found.
+
+* The :module:`FindProtobuf` module learned to provide a ``Protobuf_VERSION``
+ variable and check the version number requested in a :command:`find_package`
+ call.
+
+* The :module:`InstallRequiredSystemLibraries` module learned a new
+ ``CMAKE_INSTALL_UCRT_LIBRARIES`` option to enable app-local deployment
+ of the Windows Universal CRT libraries with Visual Studio 2015.
+
+Platforms
+---------
+
+* The Clang compiler is now supported on CYGWIN.
+
+* Support was added for the Bruce C Compiler with compiler id ``Bruce``.
+
+CTest
+-----
+
+* The :command:`ctest_update` command now looks at the
+ :variable:`CTEST_GIT_INIT_SUBMODULES` variable to determine whether
+ submodules should be updated or not before updating.
+
+* The :command:`ctest_update` command will now synchronize submodules on an
+ update. Updates which add submodules or change a submodule's URL will now be
+ pulled properly.
+
+CPack
+-----
+
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to handle ``$ORIGIN``
+ in ``CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH`` when :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS`
+ is used for dependency auto detection.
+
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to generate ``DEBIAN/shlibs``
+ contorl file when package contains shared libraries.
+
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to generate ``DEBIAN/postinst`` and
+ ``DEBIAN/postrm`` files if the package installs libraries in
+ ldconfig-controlled locations (e.g. ``/lib/``, ``/usr/lib/``).
+
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to generate dependencies between
+ Debian packages if multi-component setup is used and
+ :variable:`CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DEPENDS` variables are set.
+ For backward compatibility this feature is disabled by default.
+ See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_ENABLE_COMPONENT_DEPENDS`.
+
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to set custom package file names
+ including how to generate properly-named Debian packages::
+
+ <PackageName>_<VersionNumber>-<DebianRevisionNumber>_<DebianArchitecture>.deb
+
+ For backward compatibility this feature is disabled by default. See
+ :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_FILE_NAME` and
+ :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_FILE_NAME`.
+
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to set the package release number
+ (``DebianRevisionNumber`` in package file name when used in combination with
+ ``DEB-DEFAULT`` value set by :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_FILE_NAME`). See

+
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned how to set the package architecture
+ per-component. See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_ARCHITECTURE`.
+
+* The :module:`CPackDMG` module learned a new option to tell the CPack
+ ``DragNDrop`` generaor to skip the ``/Applications`` symlink.
+ See the :variable:`CPACK_DMG_DISABLE_APPLICATIONS_SYMLINK` variable.
+
+* The :module:`CPackIFW` module gained a new
+ :command:`cpack_ifw_update_repository` command to update a QtIFW-specific
+ repository from a remote repository.
+
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to set RPM ``dist`` tag as part of
+ RPM ``Release:`` tag when enabled (mandatory on some Linux distributions for
+ e.g. on Fedora).
+ See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DIST`.
+
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to set default values for owning
+ user/group and file/directory permissions of package content.
+ See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_USER`, :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_GROUP`,
+ :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS`,
+ :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_DIR_PERMISSIONS` and their per component
+ counterparts.
+
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to set user defined package file
+ names, how to specify that rpmbuild should decide on file name format as
+ well as handling of multiple rpm packages generated by a single user defined
+ spec file.
+ See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_NAME` and
+ :variable:`CPACK_RPM_<component>_PACKAGE_NAME`.
+
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned how to correctly handle symlinks
+ that are pointing outside generated packages.
+
+Other
+-----
+
+* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality
+ is now aware of features supported by Intel C++ compilers versions 12.1
+ through 16.0 on UNIX platforms.
+
+Deprecated and Removed Features
+===============================
+
+* The :module:`CMakeForceCompiler` module and its macros are now deprecated.
+ See module documentation for an explanation.
+
+* The :command:`find_library`, :command:`find_path`, and :command:`find_file`
+ commands no longer search in installation prefixes derived from the ``PATH``
+ environment variable on non-Windows platforms. This behavior was added in
+ CMake 3.3 to support Windows hosts but has proven problematic on UNIX hosts.
+ Users that keep some ``<prefix>/bin`` directories in the ``PATH`` just for
+ their tools do not necessarily want any supporting ``<prefix>/lib``
+ directories searched. One may set the ``CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`` environment
+ variable with a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of prefixes that are
+ to be searched.
+
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003` generator is now
+ deprecated and will be removed in a future version of CMake.
+
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 7` generator (for VS .NET 2002) has been
+ removed. It had been deprecated since CMake 3.3.
+
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 6` generator has been removed.
+ It had been deprecated since CMake 3.3.
+
+Other Changes
+=============
+
+* The precompiled OS X binary provided on ``cmake.org`` now requires
+ OS X 10.7 or newer.
+
+* On Linux and FreeBSD platforms, when building CMake itself from source and
+ not using a system-provided libcurl, OpenSSL is now used by default if it is
+ found on the system. This enables SSL/TLS support for commands supporting
+ network communication via ``https``, such as :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)`,
+ :command:`file(UPLOAD)`, and :command:`ctest_submit`.
+
+* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--build`` command-line tool now rejects multiple
+ ``--target`` options with an error instead of silently ignoring all but the
+ last one.
+
+* :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` now diagnoses name collisions when multiple source
+ files in different directories use ``#include <moc_foo.cpp>`` with the
+ same name (because the generated ``moc_foo.cpp`` files would collide).
+
+* The :module:`FindBISON` module ``BISON_TARGET`` macro now supports
+ special characters by passing the ``VERBATIM`` option to internal
+ :command:`add_custom_command` calls. This may break clients that
+ added escaping manually to work around the bug.
+
+* The :module:`FindFLEX` module ``FLEX_TARGET`` macro now supports
+ special characters by passing the ``VERBATIM`` option to internal
+ :command:`add_custom_command` calls. This may break clients that
+ added escaping manually to work around the bug.
+
+* The :module:`FindProtobuf` module input and output variables were all renamed
+ from ``PROTOBUF_`` to ``Protobuf_`` for consistency with other find modules.
+ Input variables of the old case will be honored if provided, and output
+ variables of the old case are always provided.
+
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module now supports upper cased component
+ names in per component CPackRPM specific variables.
+ E.g. component named ``foo`` now expects component specific
+ variable to be ``CPACK_RPM_FOO_PACKAGE_NAME`` while before
+ it expected ``CPACK_RPM_foo_PACKAGE_NAME``.
+ Upper cased component name part in variables is compatible
+ with convention used for other CPack variables.
+ For back compatibility old format of variables is still valid
+ and preferred if both versions of variable are set, but the
+ preferred future use is upper cased component names in variables.
+ New variables that will be added to CPackRPM in later versions
+ will only support upper cased component variable format.

+CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES
+------------------------------------
+
+List of variables that the :command:`try_compile` command source file signature
+must propagate into the test project in order to target the same platform as
+the host project.
+
+This variable should not be set by project code. It is meant to be set by
+CMake's platform information modules for the current toolchain, or by a
+toolchain file when used with :variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`.
+
+Variables meaningful to CMake, such as :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS`, are
+propagated automatically. The ``CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES``
+variable may be set to pass custom variables meaningful to a toolchain file.
+For example, a toolchain file may contain:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME ...)
+ set(CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES MY_CUSTOM_VARIABLE)
+ # ... use MY_CUSTOM_VARIABLE ...
+
+If a user passes ``-DMY_CUSTOM_VARIABLE=SomeValue`` to CMake then this
+setting will be made visible to the toolchain file both for the main
+project and for test projects generated by the :command:`try_compile`
+command source file signature.
