[CMake] CMake 2.8.7-rc2 ready for testing!

[David Cole]

The CMake 2.8.7 release candidate stream continues! You can find the
source and binaries here:

  http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/?C=M;O=D

This will become the final build of CMake 2.8.7 next Wednesday unless
somebody finds and reports a showstopping (crasher, serious behavioral
regression) issue between now and then.

This email is also available as a blog post:

Some of the notable changes in this release are:
- improved Eclipse support
- incremental improvements to the AUTOMOC feature added in the previous release
- more cryptographic hash implementations (SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512)
- file(...) and string(...) command additions for computing hash values
- added LINK_PUBLIC and LINK_PRIVATE options to target_link_libraries command
- and, as always, various minor bug fixes

Similar to the previous release, we do not have pre-built binaries for
the SunOS anymore. However, now we have two sets of installers for the
Mac. The "Darwin" versions are for Mac OSX 10.4 and later, and are
"ppc;i386" universal binaries. The "Darwin64" versions are for 10.6
and later, and are "x86_64;i386" universal binaries.

Following is the list of changes in this rc since the previous one.
Please try this version of CMake on your projects and report any
issues to the list or the bug tracker.


Happy building!

-Dave
