Kitware is pleased to announce the release of CMake 2.8.6. This release features several notable changes, including a new AUTOMOC target property that helps make it easier to build Qt projects and support for the Intel Fortran compiler in VisualStudio10. Additionally, VisualStudio 9 and 10 generators for Itanium platform have been added, and appear as the “Visual Studio 9 2008 IA64” and “Visual Studio 10 IA64” generators on Windows builds of CMake.
This release also contains an experimental generator in the Windows build targeting VisualStudio 11. It will remain "Experimental" until VisualStudio 11 itself is finalized. If you have the developer preview of VisualStudio 11, we would appreciate any feedback you have. Please keep in mind that this is very new, and has only been tested enough to be useful to include for the community to test drive and provide feedback on.
Other improvements include the movement of many files from KDE's overrides of CMake module files, which have been accepted into upstream CMake thanks to the hard work of Alex Neundorf and Stephen Kelly. There have been many Xcode generator improvements, including support for iOS projects and the ability to switch between simulator and device builds.

We are happy to announce the release of CMake 2.8.1. This is a minor release
from 2.8.0. In addition to addressing many issues, this version of CMake adds
some new features as well. The parallel nmake replacement from Nokia jom, now
has its own tested generator in CMake.
CTest can correctly kill process trees when a timeout occurs. The ctest_*
commands have been enhanced to take more options. When using the Intel
compilers CMake can correctly determine 32 bit vs. 64 bit builds. When running
in parallel mode (-j N), CTest can now compute and use a cost value for each
test to ensure the tests are run in an optimal order.
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.
Discussed-with: Mark Davies
changes:
Add parenthetical expressions to if
Improve scoping of policies (see cmake_policy and CMP0011)
Teach find_package more config file locations
Many improved Find scripts in Modules
Added an unset command
Better reporting when nmake compiler environment is not correct

<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.
have time to go through it now to see what to include here. See
${WRKSRC}/ChangeLog.txt if you're interested.
Insofar as I could tell, patch-ab and patch-ad no longer need apply.

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.
