[ANNOUNCE] CMake 3.19.0 available for download
I am happy to announce that CMake 3.19.0 is now available for download at:
https://cmake.org/download/
Documentation is available at:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.19
Release notes appear below and are also published at
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.19/release/3.19.html
Some of the more significant changes in CMake 3.19 are:
* "cmake(1)" and "cmake-gui(1)" now recognize "CMakePresets.json" and
"CMakeUserPresets.json" files (see "cmake-presets(7)").
* The "Xcode" generator now uses the Xcode “new build system” when
generating for Xcode 12.0 or higher. See the
"CMAKE_XCODE_BUILD_SYSTEM" variable. One may use "-T buildsystem=1"
to switch to the legacy build system.
* The Visual Studio Generators for VS 2015 and above gained support
for the Visual Studio Tools for Android. One may now set
"CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME" to "Android" to generate ".vcxproj" files for
the Android tools.
* CMake learned to support "ISPC" as a first-class language that can
be enabled via the "project()" and "enable_language()" commands.
"ISPC" is currently supported by the Makefile Generators and the
"Ninja" generator on Linux, macOS, and Windows using the Intel ISPC
compiler.
* "CUDA" language support for Clang now supports separable compilation
("CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION")
* The "CMake GUI" now has an environment variable editor.
* The "file(GENERATE)" command gained a new "TARGET" keyword to
support resolving target-dependent generator expressions.
* The "CMAKE_OPTIMIZE_DEPENDENCIES" variable was added to initialize
the new "OPTIMIZE_DEPENDENCIES" target property and avoid
unnecessarily building dependencies for a static library.
* The "CheckCompilerFlag" module has been added to generalize
"CheckCCompilerFlag" and "CheckCXXCompilerFlag" to more languages.
It also supports the "CUDA" and "ISPC" languages.
* The "CheckSourceCompiles" module has been added to generalize
"CheckCSourceCompiles" and "CheckCXXSourceCompiles" to more
languages. It also supports the "CUDA" and "ISPC" languages.
* The "CheckSourceRuns" module has been added to generalize
"CheckCSourceRuns" and "CheckCXXSourceRuns" to more languages. It
also supports the "CUDA" language.
* The "FindCUDAToolkit" module gained support for finding CUDA
toolkits that do not contain "nvcc", as well as for finding
scattered toolkit installations when cross-compiling.
* Interface Libraries may now have source files added via
"add_library()" or "target_sources()". Those with sources will be
generated as part of the build system.
* Compatibility with versions of CMake older than 2.8.12 is now
deprecated and will be removed from a future version. Calls to
"cmake_minimum_required()" or "cmake_policy()" that set the policy
version to an older value now issue a deprecation diagnostic.
CMake 3.19 Release Notes
Changes made since CMake 3.18 include the following.
New Features
Presets
---
* "cmake(1)" and "cmake-gui(1)" now recognize "CMakePresets.json" and
"CMakeUserPresets.json" files (see "cmake-presets(7)").
Generators
--
* The "Xcode" generator now uses the Xcode “new build system” when
generating for Xcode 12.0 or higher. See the
"CMAKE_XCODE_BUILD_SYSTEM" variable. One may use "-T buildsystem=1"
to switch to the legacy build system.
* The "Xcode" generator gained support for linking libraries and
frameworks via the *Link Binaries With Libraries* build phase
instead of always by embedding linker flags directly. This behavior
is controlled by a new "XCODE_LINK_BUILD_PHASE_MODE" target
property, which is initialized by a new
"CMAKE_XCODE_LINK_BUILD_PHASE_MODE" variable.
* The Visual Studio Generators for VS 2015 and above gained support
for the Visual Studio Tools for Android. One may now set
"CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME" to "Android" to generate ".vcxproj" files for
the Android tools.
Languages
-
* CMake learned to support "ISPC" as a first-class language that can
be enabled via the "project()" and "enable_language()" commands.
"ISPC" is currently supported by the Makefile Generators and the
"Ninja" generator on Linux, macOS, and Windows using the Intel ISPC
compiler.
* "CUDA" language support for Clang now includes:
* separable compilation ("CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION"), and
* finding scattered toolkit installations when cross-compiling.
File-Based API
--
* The "cmake-file-api(7)" “codemodel” version 2 "version" field has
been updated to 2.2.
* The "cmake-file-api(7)" “codemodel” version 2 “target” object gained
a new "languageStandard" field in the "compileGroups" objects.
Command-Line
* The "cmake(1)" command-line tool’s "--install" mode gained a "--
default-directory-permissions" option.
* "cmake(1)" gained a "-E create_hardlink" command-line tool that can
be used to create hardlinks between files.
GUI
---
* The "CMake GUI" now has an environment variable

The timeline hasn't been published yet, but I hope Caio will soon publish it. But you should already be able to start writing a proposal. There is some instructions about that in https://community.kde.org/GSoC#Student_proposal_guidelines. This is for GSoC but SoC is similar. Mentors should create an account in season.kde.org and request their mentor account. And then after I accept their request, should be able to see the proposals and comment them, if there is no bug in the software ;) Cheers, Carl
