Summary | 0012373: Specify version changes with each commands/variables | ||||||||
Description | Documentation is pretty efficient but if you work with different CMake versions, you almost always end up using a feature or a variable that was not available in previous versions (eg. 2.8.4 against 2.8.2, I'm not talking about 2.6 to 2.8 step) New commands, variables, or command parameters are often added between versions. When this happens it would be nice to have it written in the doc so that users know not to use a specific feature when they are targeting a specific cmake version. Thank you | ||||||||

There is a nice Wiki page for that: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Version_Compatibility_Matrix [^] but it would definitely be interesting to have a "since x.y" inside the doc. |

That is right. I work at a place with no internet connection and the only thing I have is the manual (this is a Debian package). Unless the Debian guys package the wiki, I'm stuck :) |

Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog. (The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...) If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^] It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing. |

IMO having to specify the version in which every little thing was changed/added will be a huge maintenance burden. The information will accumulate and clutter the documentation with version references that become less useful over time. Since this was first filed we've started posting documentation for each version separately on the web site: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/documentation.html [^] For example: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.0/cmake.html [^] http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.1/cmake.html [^] http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.2/cmake.html [^] http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.3/cmake.html [^] http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.4/cmake.html [^] http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.5/cmake.html [^] http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.6/cmake.html [^] http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.7/cmake.html [^] http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html [^] http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.9/cmake.html [^] Just read the docs corresponding to your cmake_minimum_required(VERSION). If you don't have net access then just install minimum version of CMake you require and don't use a newer version. |

These bugs were deferred from target version 2.8.10 to 2.8.11 based on the responses to this email thread on the CMake developer's mailing list: http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake-developers/2012-October/005434.html [^] |
