We are pleased to announce that CMake 2.6.3 has been released. CMake is a popular cross-platform build system used most notably by KDE, but also by many other software packages. A lot of work has gone into 2.6.3 including the following important bug fixes and features:

  • Add parenthetical expressions to if
  • Improve scoping of policies (see cmake_policy and CMP0011)
  • Teach find_package more config file locations
  • Many improved Find scripts in Modules
  • Added an unset command
  • Qt cmake-gui is the primary GUI for windows, deprecate CMakeSetup
  • Better reporting when nmake compiler environment is not correct
