Yes, but is not so easy to find. It would be easier to have it in the documentation page (if the page hosts CMake 2.6 or CMake 2.4 documentations, why it doesn't host CMake 2.8.3 documentation? They should be on the wiki too!), easier to find. Renato 2011/12/21 Michael Wild : > As I already said,

I had the same problem a yesterday (or the day before) with the string( FIND ) command... I tried to find the cmake 2.8.4 docs but I couldn't. I think you should do it, or at least to issue a warning (in the documentation) in every command that wasn't introduced in CMake 2.8.0... Yes, the Python
