Short answer: no.
Longer answer:
I've written and maintained the compatibility matrix before.
The reasons I've stopped maintaining the page:
(1) Distilling the changes between versions is quite some manual effort (diffing
the help text and checking whether something some change reflects a change in
cmake or just a doc change) .
(2) The documentation format changed in cmake 3, which would have meant a very
big one-time effort toget the differences between 2.8 and 3.
(3) I still believe that this could be done much better by including
annotations in the documentation itself ("Available since:", "Deprecated
in:").
Hope that explains my reasons,
Johannes
