I am proud to announce the CMake 3.0 third release candidate.
With some trepidation (because of the possibility of backwards incompatibilities, and the usual concerns about "*.0" releases), I gave it a try. The bootstrap build worked with no issues on Linux. That cmake executable was then used to configure a successful build and test of PLplot with no obvious issues other than some "project developer" warnings about using the LOCATION target property which had no practical effect on the results but which I will address later for the PLplot build system to squelch those warnings. That's a pretty good test result since PLplot is an intermediate-sized project with lots of dependencies which uses most CMake facilities. Please don't forget http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14318 for the final 3.0 release. That bug report includes the fix which is a simple patch to ExternalProject.cmake that allows that module to deal with tar.xz archives (which are becoming quite common these days). In sum, aside from the simple 14318 bug fix which should have been applied some time ago, CMake-3.0 is looking pretty good from my perspective, and I would like to thank the development team for their efforts.
