There has been no change here in 2.6.3, message has been doing the same 
thing since 2.2...


This is better documented in CVS HEAD of CMake:


  message
        Display a message to the user.

          message([STATUS|WARNING|AUTHOR_WARNING|FATAL_ERROR|SEND_ERROR]
                  "message to display" ...)

        The optional keyword determines the type of message:

          (none)         = Important information
          STATUS         = Incidental information
          WARNING        = CMake Warning, continue processing
          AUTHOR_WARNING = CMake Warning (dev), continue processing
          SEND_ERROR     = CMake Error, continue but skip generation
          FATAL_ERROR    = CMake Error, stop all processing

  The CMake command-line tool displays STATUS messages on stdout and all
other message types on stderr. The CMake GUI displays all messages in
its log area. The interactive dialogs (ccmake and CMakeSetup) show
STATUS messages one at a time on a status line and other messages in
interactive pop-up boxes.

CMake Warning and Error message text displays using a simple markup
language. Non-indented text is formatted in line-wrapped paragraphs
delimited by newlines. Indented text is considered pre-formatted.
