The switch to use UTF-8 encoding has been defaulted to on for quite some
time since commit v3.2.0-rc1~116^2 (Encoding: Switch to use UTF-8
internally by default on Windows, 2014-12-26).
Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Take logic from upstream `Makefile.am` and `configure.ac` to build libuv
sources.
Update `uv.h` to include KWSys Large File Support configuration so that
consistent stream libraries are used (on AIX with XL).
Add a `cm_uv.h` header to include the CMake-provided copy of the `uv.h`
header from CMake sources.
Turn the feature check for cxx11_unordered_map into a function such that
we can use it for other features as well. Drop the 11 suffix, as we may
want to check features from other standards.
At the moment, cmStandardIncludes.h needs to be included before any
standard includes because it disables some warnings that are caused
by the standard library of some compilers. Move this responsibility
to the cmConfigure.h file.
Also add include guards to cmConfigure.h to make sure the file can be
included multiple times.
Rename cmSystemTools::FindExecutableDirectory to FindCMakeResources.
Teach it to compute the locations of cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake, and
cmake-gui executables, and the location of CMAKE_ROOT. Provide this
information from static cmSystemTools::Get<resource>() methods.
Refactor code that needs these locations to use the new APIs.
Teach FindCMakeResources to use the OS X system API to lookup the
executable location. When running from the CMake build tree itself,
leave a file in the tree that FindCMakeResources can use to read the
location of the source tree. This avoids the need to compile the source
tree location into a binary that may be installed and used without the
source tree.
Teach the QtDialog on OS X to create a "cmake-gui" symlink in the build
tree next to "cmake" and the other tools, as is already done in the
install tree for the application bundle. This ensures a consistent set
of executables are available in one directory.
With our modern development workflow it is less likely a property will
be added to C++ code without documentation. This mode only existed to
support the DocTest which had very limited coverage of the properties
anyway.
Ensure CMAKE_DATA_DIR, CMAKE_DOC_DIR, and CMAKE_MAN_DIR are always
relative paths in CMake code, and set defaults accordingly. Use the
install() command instead of install_files() and install_targets().
This is more modern and also avoids stripping of the first character
from user-specified destinations.
While at it, fix the default destinations reported in the bootstrap
help.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
This moves the version numbers into an isolated configured header so
that not all of CMake needs to rebuild when the version changes.
Previously we had spaces, dashes and/or the word 'patch' randomly chosen
before the patch number. Now we always report version numbers in the
traditional format "<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<rc>]".
We still use odd minor numbers for development versions. Now we also
use the CCYYMMDD date as the patch number of development versions, thus
allowing tests for exact CMake versions.
