Generator expressions, which are used to introduce conditional statements at generate time rather than at CMake compile time, are now available in more contexts, notably in the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and COMPILE_DEFINITIONS target properties. There are also new generator expressions available in the 2.8.10 release.
The file(DOWNLOAD command can accommodate https URLs. The pre-built binaries for this are available from Kitware and link to OpenSSL. The team has also added uniform compiler "id" and version number variables available for nearly all known compilers and platforms.
* When processing DartMeasurements use the tests working directory.
* ExternalProject: No svn --username if empty.
* Avoid problem reading jni.h on Macs.
* Fixed appending PATH to dumpbin tool from growing without bounds.
* Switch to CMAKE_PATH when doing PATH comparisons on Windows.
* Remove unecessary TO_CMAKE_PATH for gp_cmd_dir.
* Append the gp_tool path to the system PATH using native slashes.
* Fixes to GetPrerequisites for cygwin.
* CPackDeb Added several optional debian binary package fields.
* ENH: Added case for Python 2.7.
* Fixed parallel build for generators with EXTRA.
this sed magic, _CMAKE_INSTALL_DIR in UnixPaths.cmake does that for us
already. Only X11BASE needs special attention.
* Remove patch-ae which never worked in fact.
* Bump PKGREVISION.

to include here; the changelog for this release is here:
<http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2008-August/023188.html>
For changes prior to this release, please see ${WRKSRC}/ChangeLog.
While here, add a list of *.cmake files in which to replace
/usr/${X11R6,local} with X11BASE and LOCALBASE, respectively.
Also, the [pkgsrc-relative] API, e.g. 2.6 is now defined by a variable
so that it can be used in pathnames for the build and the PLIST.
CMake is an extensible, open-source system that manages the build
process in an operating system and compiler independent manner. Unlike
many cross-platform systems, CMake is designed to be used in
conjunction with the native build environment. Simple configuration
files placed in each source directory (called CMakeLists.txt files)
are used to generate standard build files (e.g., makefiles on Unix and
projects/workspaces in Windows MSVC) which are used in the usual
way. CMake can compile source code, create libraries, generate
wrappers, and build executables in arbitrary combinations. CMake
supports in-place and out-of-place builds, and can therefore support
multiple builds from a single source tree. CMake also supports static
and dynamic library builds. Another nice feature of CMake is that it
generates a cache file that is designed to be used with a graphical
editor. For example, when CMake runs, it locates include files,
libraries, and executable, and may encounter optional build
directives. This information is gathered into the cache, which may be
changed by the user prior to the generation of the native build files.
