[ANNOUNCE] CMake 3.20.0-rc1 is ready for testing
I am proud to announce the first CMake 3.20 release candidate.
https://cmake.org/download/
Documentation is available at:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.20
Release notes appear below and are also published at
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.20/release/3.20.html
Some of the more significant changes in CMake 3.20 are:
* "cmake-presets(7)" gained support for build and test presets.
* C++23 compiler modes may now be specified via the "CXX_STANDARD",
"CUDA_STANDARD", or "OBJCXX_STANDARD" target properties, or via the
"Compile Features" functionality’s "cxx_std_23" meta-feature.
* The NVIDIA HPC SDK compilers are now supported with compiler id
"NVHPC".
* CMake’s support for Cross Compiling for Android is now merged with
the Android NDK’s toolchain file. They now have similar behavior,
though some variable names differ. User-facing changes include:
* "find_*" functions will search NDK ABI / API specific paths by
default.
* The default "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE" for Android is now
"RelWithDebInfo".
* The "cmake-file-api(7)" gained a new “toolchains” object kind that
describes the compiler used for each enabled language.
* "add_custom_command()" and "add_custom_target()" now support
"generator expressions" in their "OUTPUT" and "BYPRODUCTS" options.
Their "COMMAND", "WORKING_DIRECTORY", and "DEPENDS" options gained
support for new generator expressions "$" and
"$" that control cross-config handling when using
the "Ninja Multi-Config" generator.
* The "cmake_path()" command was added for operations on filesystem
paths.
* The "target_sources()" command now supports targets created by the
"add_custom_target()" command.
* The "ExternalProject" module "ExternalProject_Add()" function gained
a "CONFIGURE_HANDLED_BY_BUILD" option. This can be used to make
subsequent runs of the configure step be triggered by the build step
when an external project dependency rebuilds instead of always re-
running the configure step in such cases.
* "ctest(1)" gained a "--test-dir" option to specify the directory in
which to look for tests.
* The "cmake-server(7)" mode has been removed. Clients should use the
"cmake-file-api(7)" instead.
* The "WriteCompilerDetectionHeader" module has been deprecated via
policy "CMP0120". Projects should be ported away from it.
* The "AddFileDependencies" module is deprecated. Port projects to use
"set_property()" directly.
CMake 3.20 Release Notes
Changes made since CMake 3.19 include the following.
New Features
Presets
---
* "cmake-presets(7)" gained support for build and test presets.
Generators
--
* Makefile Generators, for some toolchains, now use the compiler to
extract implicit dependencies while compiling source files.
Languages
-
* C++23 compiler modes may now be specified via the "CXX_STANDARD",
"CUDA_STANDARD", or "OBJCXX_STANDARD" target properties, or via the
"Compile Features" functionality’s "cxx_std_23" meta-feature.
* "CUDA" language support now works when "nvcc" is a symbolic link,
for example due to a "ccache" or "colornvcc" wrapper script.
* The "CUDAARCHS" environment variable was added for initializing
"CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES". Useful in cases where the compiler
default is unsuitable for the machine’s GPU.
Compilers
-
* The NVIDIA HPC SDK compilers are now supported with compiler id
"NVHPC".
* The Intel oneAPI NextGen LLVM compilers are now supported with
compiler id "IntelLLVM":
* The "icx"/"icpx" C/C++ compilers on Linux, and the "icx" C/C++
compiler on Windows, are fully supported as of oneAPI 2021.1.
* The "ifx" Fortran compiler on Linux is partially supported. As of
oneAPI 2021.1, "ifx" does not define several identification
macros, so CMake identifies it as the classic "Intel" compiler.
This works in many cases because "ifx" accepts the same command
line parameters as "ifort". A future version of oneAPI may fix
this.
* The "ifx" Fortran compiler on Windows is not yet supported.
The Intel oneAPI Classic compilers ("icc", "icpc", and "ifort")
continue to be supported with compiler id "Intel".
* Support was added for the IAR STM8 compiler.

* CMake’s support for Cross Compiling for Android is now merged with
the Android NDK’s toolchain file. They now have similar behavior,
though some variable names differ. User-facing changes include:
* "find_*" functions will search NDK ABI / API specific paths by
default.
* The default "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE" for Android is now
"RelWithDebInfo".
* The "CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK_VERSION" variable was added to report the
version of the NDK.
File-Based API

* The "cmake-file-api(7)" gained a new “toolchains” object kind that
describes the compiler used for each enabled language.
Commands
* "add_custom_command()" and "add_custom_target()" now support
"generator expressions" in their "OUTPUT" and "BYPRODUCTS" options.
Their "COMMAND", "WORKING_DIRECTORY", and "DEPENDS" options gained

[ANNOUNCE] CMake 3.20.0 available for download
I am happy to announce that CMake 3.20.0 is now available for download at:
https://cmake.org/download/
Documentation is available at:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.20
Release notes appear below and are also published at
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.20/release/3.20.html
Some of the more significant changes in CMake 3.20 are:
* "cmake-presets(7)" gained support for build and test presets.
* C++23 compiler modes may now be specified via the "CXX_STANDARD",
"CUDA_STANDARD", or "OBJCXX_STANDARD" target properties, or via the
"Compile Features" functionality’s "cxx_std_23" meta-feature.
* The NVIDIA HPC SDK compilers are now supported with compiler id
"NVHPC".
* CMake’s support for Cross Compiling for Android is now merged with
the Android NDK’s toolchain file. They now have similar behavior,
though some variable names differ.
* The "cmake-file-api(7)" gained a new “toolchains” object kind that
describes the compiler used for each enabled language.
* "add_custom_command()" and "add_custom_target()" now support
"generator expressions" in their "OUTPUT" and "BYPRODUCTS" options.
Their "COMMAND", "WORKING_DIRECTORY", and "DEPENDS" options gained
support for new generator expressions "$" and
"$" that control cross-config handling when using
the "Ninja Multi-Config" generator.
* The "cmake_path()" command was added for operations on filesystem
paths.
* The "target_sources()" command now supports targets created by the
"add_custom_target()" command.
* The "ExternalProject" module "ExternalProject_Add()" function gained
a "CONFIGURE_HANDLED_BY_BUILD" option. This can be used to make
subsequent runs of the configure step be triggered by the build step
when an external project dependency rebuilds instead of always re-
running the configure step in such cases.
* "ctest(1)" gained a "--test-dir" option to specify the directory in
which to look for tests.
* The "cmake-server(7)" mode has been removed. Clients should use the
"cmake-file-api(7)" instead.
* The "WriteCompilerDetectionHeader" module has been deprecated via
policy "CMP0120". Projects should be ported away from it.
* The "AddFileDependencies" module is deprecated. Port projects to use
"set_property()" directly.
CMake 3.20 Release Notes
Changes made since CMake 3.19 include the following.
New Features
Presets
---
* "cmake-presets(7)" gained support for build and test presets.
Generators
--
* Makefile Generators, for some toolchains, now use the compiler to
extract implicit dependencies while compiling source files.
Languages
-
* C++23 compiler modes may now be specified via the "CXX_STANDARD",
"CUDA_STANDARD", or "OBJCXX_STANDARD" target properties, or via the
"Compile Features" functionality’s "cxx_std_23" meta-feature.
* "CUDA" language support now works when "nvcc" is a symbolic link,
for example due to a "ccache" or "colornvcc" wrapper script.
* The "CUDAARCHS" environment variable was added for initializing
"CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES". Useful in cases where the compiler
default is unsuitable for the machine’s GPU.
Compilers
-
* The NVIDIA HPC SDK compilers are now supported with compiler id
"NVHPC".
* The Intel oneAPI NextGen LLVM compilers are now supported with
compiler id "IntelLLVM":
* The "icx"/"icpx" C/C++ compilers on Linux, and the "icx" C/C++
compiler on Windows, are fully supported as of oneAPI 2021.1.
* The "ifx" Fortran compiler on Linux is partially supported. As of
oneAPI 2021.1, "ifx" does not define several identification
macros, so CMake identifies it as the classic "Intel" compiler.
This works in many cases because "ifx" accepts the same command
line parameters as "ifort". A future version of oneAPI may fix
this.
* The "ifx" Fortran compiler on Windows is not yet supported.
The Intel oneAPI Classic compilers ("icc", "icpc", and "ifort")
continue to be supported with compiler id "Intel".
* Support was added for the IAR STM8 compiler.

enabled via the "project()" and "enable_language()" commands.
* The "Visual Studio 17 2022" generator was added. This is
experimental and based on "Visual Studio 2022 Preview 1.1" because
this version of VS has not been released.
* The Makefile Generators and the "Ninja" generator learned to add
linker launcher tools along with the linker for "C", "CXX", "OBJC",
and "OBJCXX" languages. See the "CMAKE__LINKER_LAUNCHER"
variable and "_LINKER_LAUNCHER" target property for details.
* "C_STANDARD", "OBJC_STANDARD", and the "Compile Features"
functionality gained support for C17 and C23.
* "cmake(1)" gained the "--toolchain " command-line
option to specify a toolchain file.
* Messages printed to a terminal now may be colored by message type.
* The Fujitsu compiler is now supported using compiler id "Fujitsu" in
traditional ("Trad") mode, and compiler id "FujitsuClang" in "Clang"
mode.
* The "add_custom_command()" command "DEPFILE" option may now use
"generator expressions", is now supported by Visual Studio Generators
for VS 2012 and above, and is now supported by the "Xcode" generator.
* The "add_custom_command(TARGET)" command (for Build Events) gained
support for resolving target-dependent generator expressions.
* The "install(TARGETS)" command gained new "RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES" and
"RUNTIME_DEPENDENCY_SET" arguments, which can be used to install
runtime dependencies using "file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES)".
* A new "TARGET_RUNTIME_DLLS" generator expression was added.
* "ctest(1)" gained a "--output-junit" option to write test results to
a JUnit XML file.
* The "ctest_build()" command gained a "PARALLEL_LEVEL" option.
* "ARMClang" cpu/arch compile and link flags are no longer added
automatically based on the "CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR" variable or the
undocumented "CMAKE_SYSTEM_ARCH" variable. They must be specified
explicitly. See policy "CMP0123".
* The "foreach()" command now isolates loop variables in the loop
scope. See policy "CMP0124" for details.

to specify the location of the install prefix.
* "cmake(1)" gained the "--toolchain " command-line
option to specify a toolchain file.
* "cmake(1)" "-E capabilities" output, for some generators, may now
contain a "supportedPlatforms" field listing platforms known to be
supported in "CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM".
* Messages printed to a terminal now may be colored by message type.

Variables - * The "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE" environment variable was added to provide a default value for the "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE" variable. * The "CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES" environment variable was added to provide a default value for the "CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES" variable. * The "CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE" environment variable was added to tell "install()" rules (implemented by "file(INSTALL)") to install symbolic links instead of copying of files. * The "CMAKE__LINK_WHAT_YOU_USE_FLAG" and "CMAKE_LINK_WHAT_YOU_USE_CHECK" variables were added to control the linker flag and check used by the "LINK_WHAT_YOU_USE" target property. * The "CMAKE_REQUIRE_FIND_PACKAGE_" variable was added to turn a non-REQUIRED "find_package()" call into a REQUIRED one. Properties -- * The "_EXTENSIONS" target property is now initialized to "CMAKE__EXTENSIONS_DEFAULT", detected from the compiler. See "CMP0128". * The "VS_SETTINGS" source file property is now supported for all source file types. Previously it worked only for non-built sources. Modules --- * The "CMakeDependentOption" module "cmake_dependent_option()" macro now supports full Condition Syntax. See policy "CMP0127". * The "FetchContent" module now passes through the "CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY", "CMAKE_TLS_CAINFO", "CMAKE_NETRC" and "CMAKE_NETRC_FILE" variables (when defined) to the underlying "ExternalProject" sub-build. Previously, those variables were silently ignored by "FetchContent". * The "FindBLAS" and "FindLAPACK" modules gained a "BLA_SIZEOF_INTEGER" option to find a BLAS/LAPACK whose ABI uses a specific integer size. * The "FindJasper" module now provides an imported target. * The "FindMatlab" module now provides imported targets. * The "FindPkgConfig" module gained a "PKG_CONFIG_ARGN" variable to specify arguments to "pkg-config" calls. * The "GoogleTest" module "gtest_discover_tests()" function gained a "TEST_FILTER" option to filter tests using "--gtest_filter" during test discovery. * The "UseSWIG" module, for Visual Studio Generators, can now use the "swig" tool to generate implicit dependencies. CTest - * "ctest(1)" learned to recognize labels attached to a test at run time. Previously it was only possible to attach labels to tests at configure time by using the "LABELS" test property. See Additional Test Measurements for more information. * "ctest(1)" learned to be able to modify the environment for a test through the "ENVIRONMENT_MODIFICATION" property. This is allows for updates to environment variables based on the environment present at test time. * The "ctest_memcheck()" command now also generates a "DynamicAnalysis-Test.xml" file which may be used to submit test results to CDash. CPack - * The "CPack DEB Generator" gained the option to set "CPACK_DEBIAN_COMPRESSION_TYPE" to "zstd", which enables Zstandard compression for deb packages. * The "CPack NSIS Generator" gained a new "CPACK_NSIS_IGNORE_LICENSE_PAGE" variable to suppress the license page in the installer. * The "CPack RPM Generator" gained the "CPACK_RPM_REQUIRES_EXCLUDE_FROM" option to avoid scanning specific paths for dependencies.
