CMake 2.8.7 available for download

On behalf of myself, Ken, Bill, Brad, Alex, Zach, Ben and the rest of the CMake team from all around the world, we are pleased to announce that CMake 2.8.7 is now available for download at:

  http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/?C=M;O=D

It is also available from the usual download links found on the CMake web site:

  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

Some of the notable changes in this release are:

• improved Eclipse support
• incremental improvements to the AUTOMOC feature added in the previous release
• more cryptographic hash implementations (SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512)
• file(…) and string(…) command additions for computing hash values
• added LINK_PUBLIC and LINK_PRIVATE options to target_link_libraries command
• new module: DeployQt4
• and, as always, various minor bug fixes

Similar to the previous release, we do not have pre-built binaries for the SunOS anymore. However, now we have two sets of installers for the Mac. The “Darwin” versions are for Mac OSX 10.4 and later, and are “ppc;i386” universal binaries. The “Darwin64” versions are for 10.6 and later, and are “x86_64;i386” universal binaries.

There was a bit of a network connectivity snag in building the binaries for the AIX platform today… Because of this, the tarballs for AIX will not be available until sometime next week.

Following is the complete list of changes in this release. Please try this version of CMake on your projects and report any issues to the list or the bug tracker.

Thanks for using CMake! (and Happy New Year!)
