Help/release/dev/CMP0095.rst

-CMP0095
--------
-
-* ``RPATH`` entries are properly escaped in the intermediary CMake install script.
-  See policy :policy:`CMP0095`.

Help/release/dev/FPHSA-reason-failure-message.rst

-FPHSA-reason-failure-message
-----------------------------
-
-* Modules :module:`FindPackageHandleStandardArgs` gains the capability to
-  specify a message giving the reason for the failure.

Help/release/dev/FindGnuTLS-target.rst

-FindGnuTLS-target
------------------
-
-* The :module:`FindGnuTLS` module now provides an imported target.

Help/release/dev/FindPkgConfig-module-name.rst

-FindPkgConfig-module-name
--------------------------
-
-* The :module:`FindPkgConfig` module :command:`pkg_search_module` macro
-  now defines a ``<prefix>_MODULE_NAME`` result variable containing the
-  first matching module name.

Help/release/dev/FindPython-FIND_ABI.rst

-FindPython-FIND_ABI
--------------------
-
-* Modules :module:`FindPython3` and :module:`FindPython` gain the capability
-  to control which ``ABIs`` will be searched.

Help/release/dev/FindPython-specify_artifacts.rst

-FindPython-specify_artifacts
-----------------------------
-
-* Modules :module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2` and :module:`FindPython`
-  gain the capability to specify directly artifacts.

Help/release/dev/add-install-remove-environment-rpath.rst

-add-install-remove-environment-rpath
-------------------------------------
-
-* A new target property, :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_REMOVE_ENVIRONMENT_RPATH`, was
-  added which removes compiler-defined rpaths from a target. This property is
-  initialized by :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_REMOVE_ENVIRONMENT_RPATH`.

Help/release/dev/add_cmake_find_use_package_registry.rst

-add_cmake_find_use_package_registry
------------------------------------
-
-* The :command:`find_package` command has learned to check the following
-  variables to control searching
-
-  * :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_PACKAGE_REGISTRY` - Controls the searching the
-    cmake user registry.
-
-* The :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY` has been deprecated.
-  Instead use :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_PACKAGE_REGISTRY`

Help/release/dev/add_skip_regular_expression_test_property.rst

-add_skip_regular_expression_test_property
------------------------------------------
-
-* A new test property, :prop_test:`SKIP_REGULAR_EXPRESSION`, has been added.
-  This property is similar to :prop_test:`FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION` and
-  :prop_test:`PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION`, but with the same meaning as
-  :prop_test:`SKIP_RETURN_CODE`. This is useful, for example, in cases where
-  the user has no control over the return code of the test. For example, in
-  Catch2, the return value is the number of assertion failed, therefore it is
-  impossible to use it for :prop_test:`SKIP_RETURN_CODE`.

Help/release/dev/add_test-expand_lists.rst

-add_test-expand_lists
----------------------
-
-* The command :command:`add_test` learned the option ``COMMAND_EXPAND_LISTS``
-  which causes lists in the ``COMMAND`` argument to be expanded, including
-  lists created by generator expressions.

Help/release/dev/aix.rst

-aix
----
-
-* On AIX, executables using the :prop_tgt:`ENABLE_EXPORTS` target property
-  now produce a linker import file with a ``.imp`` extension in addition
-  to the executable file.  Plugins (created via :command:`add_library` with
-  the ``MODULE`` option) that use :command:`target_link_libraries` to link
-  to the executable for its symbols are now linked using the import file.
-  The :command:`install(TARGETS)` command now installs the import file as
-  an ``ARCHIVE`` artifact.
-
-* On AIX, runtime linking is no longer enabled by default.  CMake provides
-  the linker enough information to resolve all symbols up front.
-  One may manually enable runtime linking for shared libraries and/or
-  loadable modules by adding ``-Wl,-G`` to their link flags
-  (e.g. in the :variable:`CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS` or
-  :variable:`CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS` variable).
-  One may manually enable runtime linking for executables by adding
-  ``-Wl,-brtl`` to their link flags (e.g. in the
-  :variable:`CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS` variable).

Help/release/dev/automoc_path_prefix.rst

-automoc_path_prefix
--------------------
-
-* When using :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`, CMake now generates the ``-p`` path prefix
-  option for ``moc``.  This ensures that ``moc`` output files are identical
-  on different build setups (given, that the headers compiled by ``moc`` are
-  in an :command:`include directory <target_include_directories>`).
-  Also it ensures that ``moc`` output files will compile correctly when the
-  source and/or build directory is a symbolic link.
-
-  The ``moc`` path prefix generation behavior can be configured by setting
-  the new :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOMOC_PATH_PREFIX` variable and/or
-  :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC_PATH_PREFIX` target property.

Help/release/dev/build-install-rpath-genex.rst

-build-install-rpath-genex
--------------------------
-
-* :prop_tgt:`BUILD_RPATH` and :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_RPATH` now support

-  do nothing while returning exit codes of 0 and 1, respectively.

Help/release/dev/cmake-initial-cache-dirs.rst

-cmake-initial-cache-dirs
-------------------------
-
-* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-C <initial-cache>`` option now evaluates the
-  initial cache script with :variable:`CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR` and
-  :variable:`CMAKE_BINARY_DIR` set to the top-level source and build trees.

Help/release/dev/cmake-qch-no-version-in-filename.rst

-cmake-qch-no-version-in-filename
---------------------------------
-
-* The Qt Compressed Help file is now named ``CMake.qch``, which no longer
-  contains the release version in the file name.  When CMake is upgraded
-  in-place, the name and location of this file will remain constant.
-  Tools such as IDEs, help viewers, etc. should now be able to refer to this
-  file at a fixed location that remains valid across CMake upgrades.

Help/release/dev/cpack-install-multiple-configurations.rst

-cpack-install-multiple-configurations
--------------------------------------
-
-* CPack learned :variable:`CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_CONFIGURATIONS` to control

-  of all policies are deprecated and that projects should port to the
-  NEW behaviors.

Help/release/dev/doxygen-add-docs-USE_STAMP_FILE.rst

-doxygen-add-docs-USE_STAMP_FILE
--------------------------------
-
-* The :command:`doxygen_add_docs` command from the :module:`FindDoxygen`
-  module gained a new ``USE_STAMP_FILE`` option.  When this option present,
-  the custom target created by the command will only re-run Doxygen if any
-  of the source files have changed since the last successful run.

Help/release/dev/eclipse-resource-encoding.rst

-external-project-support-no-git-submodules
-------------------------------------------
-
-* The :module:`ExternalProject` module's ``ExternalProject_Add`` command
-  has been updated so that ``GIT_SUBMODULES ""`` initializes no submodules. See
-  policy :policy:`CMP0097`.

Help/release/dev/get-runtime-dependencies.rst

-get-runtime-dependencies
-------------------------
-
-* The :command:`file` command learned a new sub-command,
-  ``GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES``, which allows you to recursively get the list of
-  libraries linked by an executable or library. This sub-command is intended as
-  a replacement for :module:`GetPrerequisites`.
-* The :module:`GetPrerequisites` module has been deprecated, as it has been
-  superceded by :command:`file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES)`.

Help/release/dev/global-controls-over-find-locations.rst

-global-controls-over-find-locations
------------------------------------
-
-* The :command:`find_file`, :command:`find_library`, :command:`find_path`,

-  check the following variables to control searching
-
-  * :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH` - Controls the searching
-    the cmake-specific environment variables.
-
-  * :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_PATH` - Controls the searching the
-    cmake-specific cache variables.
-
-  * :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH` - Controls the searching

-
-* CMake learned to support the Objective C (``OBJC``) and Objective C++
-  (``OBJCXX``) languages.  They may be enabled via the :command:`project`
-  and :command:`enable_language` commands.  When ``OBJC`` or ``OBJCXX``
-  is enabled, source files with the ``.m`` or ``.mm``, respectively,
-  will be compiled as Objective C or C++.  Otherwise they will be treated
-  as plain C++ sources as they were before.

Help/release/dev/per-lang-link-library-flag.rst

-per-lang-link-library-flag
---------------------------
-
-* New variables :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_LIBRARY_FLAG`,
-  :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_LIBRARY_FILE_FLAG`, and
-  :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_LIBRARY_SUFFIX` allow control of the
-  flag used to specify linking to a library on a per-language basis.
-  This is useful for mixed-language projects where the different
-  drivers may use different flags.

Help/release/dev/precompile-headers.rst

-Precompile Headers
-------------------
-
-* The :prop_tgt:`PRECOMPILE_HEADERS` target property was added to tell
-  generators to use a list of precompile headers for faster compilation
-  times.

------------------
-
-* The :command:`project` no longer strips leading zeros in version components.
-  See policy :policy:`CMP0096`.

Help/release/dev/remove_directory-symlink.rst

-remove_directory-symlink
-------------------------
-
-* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E remove_directory`` command-line tool,
-  when given the path to a symlink to a directory, now removes just
-  the symlink.  It no longer removes content of the linked directory.
