* Change version scheme to use only two components for feature levelsBrad King2014-02-191-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically CMake used three version components for the feature level. We released new features while incrementing only the third version component. Since commit v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support branchy workflow, 2010-04-23) we used the fourth version component for bug-fix releases and the development date: <major>.<minor>.<patch>[.<tweak>][-rc<n>] = Release <major>.<minor>.<patch>.<date>[-<id>] = Development This solidified use of three components for the feature level, and was necessary to continue releasing 2.x versions because: * Some existing projects performed floating-point comparisons of ${CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION}.${CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION} to 2.x numbers so ``x`` could never be higher than 9. * Version 2.9.<date> was used briefly in post-2.8.0 development in CVS prior to the transition to Git, so using it in releases may have caused confusion. Now that we are moving to 3.x versions, these two restrictions go away. Therefore we now change to use only two components for the feature level and use the scheme: <major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<n>] = Release <major>.<minor>.<date>[-<id>] = Development
* New version scheme to support branchy workflowBrad King2010-04-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prepare to switch to the workflow described by "git help workflows". In this workflow, the "master" branch is always used to integrate topics ready for release. Brand new work merges into a "next" branch instead. We need a new versioning scheme to work this way because the version on "master" must always increase. We no longer use an even/odd minor number to distinguish releases from development versions. Since we still support cvs checkout of our source tree we cannot depend on "git describe" to compute a version number based on the history graph. We can use the CCYYMMDD nightly date stamp to get a monotonically increasing version component. The new version format is "major.minor.patch.(tweak|date)". Releases use a tweak level in the half-open range [0,20000000), which is smaller than any current or future date. For tweak=0 we do not show the tweak component, leaving the format "major.minor.patch" for most releases. Development versions use date=CCYYMMDD for the tweak level. The major.minor.patch part of development versions on "master" always matches the most recent release. For example, a first-parent traversal of "master" might see v2.8.1 2.8.1.20100422 v2.8.2 | | | ----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o---- Since the date appears in the tweak component, the next release can increment the patch level (or any more significant component) to be greater than any version leading to it. Topic branches not ready for release are published only on "next" so we know that all versions on master lead between two releases.
* Convert CMake to OSI-approved BSD LicenseBrad King2009-09-281-14/+9
| | | | | | | This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to cover the full development time range.
* ENH: Overhaul CMake version numberingBrad King2009-03-051-0/+20
This moves the version numbers into an isolated configured header so that not all of CMake needs to rebuild when the version changes. Previously we had spaces, dashes and/or the word 'patch' randomly chosen before the patch number. Now we always report version numbers in the traditional format "<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<rc>]". We still use odd minor numbers for development versions. Now we also use the CCYYMMDD date as the patch number of development versions, thus allowing tests for exact CMake versions.
