<ul class="simple">
<li>The precompiled OS X binary provided on <code class="docutils literal notranslate">cmake.org</code> now requires
OS X 10.7 or newer.</li>
<li>On Linux and FreeBSD platforms, when building CMake itself from source and
not using a system-provided libcurl, OpenSSL is now used by default if it is
found on the system. This enables SSL/TLS support for commands supporting
network communication via <code class="docutils literal notranslate">https</code>, such as <a class="reference internal" href="../command/file.html#command:file" title="file"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate">file(DOWNLOAD)</code></a>,
<a class="reference internal" href="../command/file.html#command:file" title="file"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate">file(UPLOAD)</code></a>, and <a class="reference internal" href="../command/ctest_submit.html#command:ctest_submit" title="ctest_submit"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate">ctest_submit()</code></a>.</li>
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cmake.1.html#manual:cmake(1)" title="cmake(1)"><code class="xref cmake cmake-manual docutils literal notranslate">cmake(1)</code></a> <code class="docutils literal notranslate">--build</code> command-line tool now rejects multiple
<code class="docutils literal notranslate">--target</code> options with an error instead of silently ignoring all but the
last one.</li>
<li><a class="reference internal" href="../prop_tgt/AUTOMOC.html#prop_tgt:AUTOMOC" title="AUTOMOC"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate">AUTOMOC</code></a> now diagnoses name collisions when multiple source
files in different directories use <code class="docutils literal notranslate">#include &lt;moc_foo.cpp&gt;</code> with the
same name (because the generated <code class="docutils literal notranslate">moc_foo.cpp</code> files would collide).</li>
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="../module/FindBISON.html#module:FindBISON" title="FindBISON"><code class="xref cmake cmake-module docutils literal notranslate">FindBISON</code></a> module <code class="docutils literal notranslate">BISON_TARGET</code> macro now supports
special characters by passing the <code class="docutils literal notranslate">VERBATIM</code> option to internal
<a class="reference internal" href="../command/add_custom_command.html#command:add_custom_command" title="add_custom_command"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate">add_custom_command()</code></a> calls. This may break clients that
added escaping manually to work around the bug.</li>
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="../module/FindFLEX.html#module:FindFLEX" title="FindFLEX"><code class="xref cmake cmake-module docutils literal notranslate">FindFLEX</code></a> module <code class="docutils literal notranslate">FLEX_TARGET</code> macro now supports
special characters by passing the <code class="docutils literal notranslate">VERBATIM</code> option to internal
<a class="reference internal" href="../command/add_custom_command.html#command:add_custom_command" title="add_custom_command"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate">add_custom_command()</code></a> calls. This may break clients that
added escaping manually to work around the bug.</li>
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="../module/FindProtobuf.html#module:FindProtobuf" title="FindProtobuf"><code class="xref cmake cmake-module docutils literal notranslate">FindProtobuf</code></a> module input and output variables were all renamed
from <code class="docutils literal notranslate">PROTOBUF_</code> to <code class="docutils literal notranslate">Protobuf_</code> for consistency with other find modules.
Input variables of the old case will be honored if provided, and output
variables of the old case are always provided.</li>
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="../cpack_gen/rpm.html#cpack_gen:CPack RPM Generator" title="CPack RPM Generator"><code class="xref cmake cmake-cpack_gen docutils literal notranslate">CPack RPM Generator</code></a> now supports upper cased component
names in per component CPackRPM specific variables.
E.g. component named <code class="docutils literal notranslate">foo</code> now expects component specific
variable to be <code class="docutils literal notranslate">CPACK_RPM_FOO_PACKAGE_NAME</code> while before
it expected <code class="docutils literal notranslate">CPACK_RPM_foo_PACKAGE_NAME</code>.
Upper cased component name part in variables is compatible
with convention used for other CPack variables.
For back compatibility old format of variables is still valid
and preferred if both versions of variable are set, but the
preferred future use is upper cased component names in variables.
New variables that will be added to CPackRPM in later versions
will only support upper cased component variable format.</li>
<li>The CPack NSIS generator's configuration file template was fixed to
quote the path to the uninstaller tool used by the
<a class="reference internal" href="../cpack_gen/nsis.html#variable:CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL" title="CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL"><code class="xref cmake cmake-variable docutils literal notranslate">CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL</code></a> option.
This avoids depending on an insecure Windows feature to run an
uninstaller tool with a space in the path.</li>
