+This release marks the introduction of our new build system based on
+CMake, a cross platform tool that is capable of generating
+native build logic for a wide variety of operating systems.
Cliff Yapp has been working on this conversion for a number of months
in order to simplify the task of building BRL-CAD on multiple
platforms. Previously, there were two build sytems in BRL-CAD -
-one based on GNU Autotools, used for OSX and Unix/Linux platforms, and
-the other based on Microsoft Visual Studio. CMake will allow one
-set of build rules to handle all supported platforms, eliminating the
-need to manually update the Windows build logic at release time.
