CMake 3.25 Release Notes
************************
.. only:: html
.. contents::
Changes made since CMake 3.24 include the following.
New Features
============
Presets
-------
* The :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` schema version has been bumped to ``6``.
* The :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` format now supports a
``packagePresets`` field to specify presets for :option:`cpack --preset`.
* The :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` format now supports a
``workflowPresets`` field to specify presets for :option:`cmake --workflow`.
* The :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` format now supports an
``outputJUnitFile`` field to specify JUnit output in test presets.
Languages
---------
* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality
is now aware of C++26, and defines a ``cxx_std_26`` meta-feature.
C++26 compiler modes may also be specified via the :prop_tgt:`CXX_STANDARD`,
:prop_tgt:`CUDA_STANDARD`, :prop_tgt:`HIP_STANDARD`,
or :prop_tgt:`OBJCXX_STANDARD` target properties.
* ``CUDA`` language support now includes device link-time optimization when
using ``nvcc``. The :variable:`CMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` variable
and the associated :prop_tgt:`INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` target property
will activate device LTO.
Command-Line
------------
* A :option:`cmake --workflow --preset <cmake--workflow --preset>` mode was
added to drive sequences of configure, build, test, and package operations
through a single command.
* The :option:`cmake -E capabilities <cmake-E capabilities>` command
gained a new ``tls`` field that tells whether or not TLS is enabled.
* The :option:`cmake -E env <cmake-E env>` command-line tool gained
a ``--modify`` flag to support :prop_test:`ENVIRONMENT_MODIFICATION`
operations.
* The :option:`cmake --debug-trycompile` option now prints log messages
reporting the directory in which each try-compile check is done.
Compilers
---------
* Support for the `Tasking compiler toolsets`_ (SmartCode, TriCore,
Standalone: ARM, MCS, 8051) was added with compiler id ``Tasking``.
See the :variable:`CMAKE_TASKING_TOOLSET` variable.
.. _Tasking compiler toolsets: https://www.tasking.com
Commands
--------
* The :command:`add_subdirectory` command gained a ``SYSTEM`` option
to enable the :prop_dir:`SYSTEM` directory property in the subdirectory.
* The :command:`block` and :command:`endblock` commands were added to manage
specific scopes (policy or variable) for a contained block of commands.
* The :command:`cmake_language` command gained a new
``GET_MESSAGE_LOG_LEVEL`` sub-command. It can be used to
query the current message logging level.
* The :command:`find_file`, :command:`find_path`, :command:`find_library`, and
:command:`find_program` commands gained a ``VALIDATOR`` option to specify a
function to be called for each candidate item to validate it.
* The :command:`find_package` command now considers paths of
the form ``<prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/<name>*/`` when
searching for package configuration files.
* The :command:`return` command gained a ``PROPAGATE`` option to propagate
variables to the scope to which control returns.
See policy :policy:`CMP0140`.
* The :command:`try_compile` and :command:`try_run` commands gained new
signatures that more consistently use keyword dispatch and do not require a
binary directory to be specified. Additionally, these signatures use a
unique directory for each invocation, which allows multiple outputs to be
preserved when using :option:`cmake --debug-trycompile`.
* The :command:`try_compile` and :command:`try_run` commands gained the
option ``NO_CACHE`` to store results in normal variables.
* The :command:`try_run` command gained ``RUN_OUTPUT_STDOUT_VARIABLE``
and ``RUN_OUTPUT_STDERR_VARIABLE`` options to capture stdout and stderr
separately from the output of the compiled program.
Variables
---------
* The :variable:`BSD` and :variable:`CMAKE_HOST_BSD` variables are now set
to a string value when the target or host system is BSD, respectively.
* The :variable:`LINUX` and :variable:`CMAKE_HOST_LINUX` variables are
now set to true when the target or host system is Linux, respectively.
* The :variable:`CMAKE_MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT` variable and
:prop_tgt:`MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT` target property were introduced
to select the debug information format for compilers targeting the MSVC ABI.
See policy :policy:`CMP0141`.
* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_ENABLE_GPU_API_VALIDATION` variable and
corresponding :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_ENABLE_GPU_API_VALIDATION` target
property were added to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator what to put
in the scheme's ``Metal: API Validation`` setting.
* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_ENABLE_GPU_SHADER_VALIDATION` variable and
corresponding :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_ENABLE_GPU_SHADER_VALIDATION` target
property were added to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator what to put
in the scheme's ``Metal: Shader Validation`` setting.
* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_LAUNCH_MODE` variable and corresponding
:prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_LAUNCH_MODE` target property were added to tell
the :generator:`Xcode` generator what to put in the scheme's "Launch"
mode setting.
* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_LAUNCH_CONFIGURATION` variable and
corresponding :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_LAUNCH_CONFIGURATION` target
property were added to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator what
configuration to put in the scheme's Launch action.
Properties
----------
* The :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` target property now supports
:manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
* The :prop_tgt:`EXPORT_NO_SYSTEM` target property was added to
specify that :command:`install(EXPORT)` and :command:`export`
commands will generate na imported target with
:prop_tgt:`SYSTEM` property ``OFF``.
* The :prop_tgt:`SYSTEM` target property was added to specify
whether a target should be treated as a system library (i.e.
its include directories are automatically ``SYSTEM`` when
compiling consumers). If not set, the default is the previous
behavior: on for imported targets and off for other targets.
* The :prop_dir:`SYSTEM` directory property was added to initialize the
:prop_tgt:`SYSTEM` target property for targets created in that directory.
Modules
-------
* The :module:`FetchContent` module :command:`FetchContent_Declare`
command gained a ``SYSTEM`` option to enable the :prop_dir:`SYSTEM`
directory property in the subdirectory.
* The :module:`FindCUDAToolkit` module now provides a target for
:ref:`nvtx3 <cuda_toolkit_nvtx3>` for CUDA 10.0+, which supersedes
:ref:`nvToolsExt <cuda_toolkit_nvToolsExt>`. A deprecation warning
is emitted when using ``nvToolsExt`` if the project requires CMake
3.25 and CUDA 10.0+ is used.
* The :module:`FindDoxygen` module's version handling has been improved:
* Multiple candidate installations will now be considered, if needed,
to satisfy version constraints. Previously, only the first one
encountered would be considered.
* Version ranges are supported.
* Variations in the version format reported by Doxygen are now
tolerated (e.g. a trailing git commit hash).
* The :module:`FindOpenAL` module now provides an imported target.
* The :module:`FindOpenSP` module was added to find the OpenSP library.
* The :module:`FindVulkan` module gained support for new components:
``dxc``
DirectX Shader Compiler.
``volk``
Volk open-source vulkan meta-loader.
CPack
-----
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack Archive Generator` gained a new
:variable:`CPACK_ARCHIVE_FILE_EXTENSION` variable to control
the package file name extension.
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` gained two new variables
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_EXECUTABLE_PRE_ARGUMENTS` and
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_EXECUTABLE_POST_ARGUMENTS`
to provide arguments to the nsis executable invocation.
* The :module:`CPack` module gained the :variable:`CPACK_READELF_EXECUTABLE`,
:variable:`CPACK_OBJCOPY_EXECUTABLE`, and
:variable:`CPACK_OBJDUMP_EXECUTABLE` variables to control the locations
of binutils used by :manual:`cpack(1)`.
Deprecated and Removed Features
===============================
* The :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_NO_SYSTEM` target property has been deprecated
in favor of :prop_tgt:`SYSTEM` and :prop_tgt:`EXPORT_NO_SYSTEM`.
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 10 2010` generator has been removed.
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 11 2012` generator is now deprecated
and will be removed in a future version of CMake.
Other Changes
=============
* The :envvar:`SSL_CERT_FILE` and :envvar:`SSL_CERT_DIR` environment
variables can now be used to override where to find certificate
authorities for TLS/SSL operations.
* If :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` includes a ``-p`` argument, the
full compiler command line is no longer appended after ``--``.
* The :generator:`Xcode` generator no longer adds the per-config suffix
``$(CONFIGURATION)$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME)`` to library search paths.
See policy :policy:`CMP0142`.
Updates
=======
Changes made since CMake 3.25.0 include the following.
3.25.1
------
* On Windows, when targeting the MSVC ABI, the :command:`find_library`
command no longer accepts ``.a`` file names. This behavior was added
in CMake 3.25.0, but has been reverted due finding GNU-ABI libraries
in cases we did not previously.
