Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible. After all, the information has to be gathered comparing the textual output of "cmake --help-full". While most differences are pretty straightforward to interpret (at least for a human reader), sometimes the documentation changes and you really have to read the different versions and decide if there really was a change in behaviour, or if it's just a documentation change. > > 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?

I don't have any time for this matter before next Thursday, but regarding the positive reactions on this list I will certainly complete the matrix. Eric: I can send you the shell-scripts if you want to have a look...
