>From the information in http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Released_Versions and using some shell-scripts to create the diffs between all "neighbor-versions", it's not too much work to create a compatibility matrix for the documented features. I took the liberty and compiled such a compatibility matrix here: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Version_Compatibility_Matrix It's a draft and does not (yet) contain information about properties and variables, but if this idea receives general consent I could complete the information. What do you think? Is this worth the effort, or would no one ever bother to update the information? cheers, Johannes _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
