CMake 2.6.3 Released

We are pleased to announce that CMake 2.6.3 has been released. CMake is a popular cross-platform build system used most notably by KDE, but also by many other software packages. A lot of work has gone into 2.6.3 including the following important bug fixes and features:

• Add parenthetical expressions to if
• Improve scoping of policies (see cmake_policy and CMP0011)
• Teach find_package more config file locations
• Many improved Find scripts in Modules
• Added an unset command
• Qt cmake-gui is the primary GUI for windows, deprecate CMakeSetup
• Better reporting when nmake compiler environment is not correct
