CMake 2.8.6 available for download

October 4, 2011

On behalf of myself, Ken, Bill, Brad, Alex, Zach, Ben and the rest of the CMake team from all around the world, we are pleased to announce that CMake 2.8.6 is now available for download at:

  http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/?C=M;O=D

It is also available from the usual download links found on the CMake web site:

  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

This release we do not have pre-built binaries for the SunOS anymore. As mentioned on the CMake mailing list recently, our Sun hardware has bitten the proverbial dust.

However, we are now providing two sets of installers for the Mac. The “Darwin” versions are for Mac OSX 10.4 and later, and are “ppc;i386” universal binaries. The “Darwin64” versions are for 10.6 and later, and are “x86_64;i386” universal binaries.

This release contains a last-minute addition that you should consider “Experimental”: a generator in the Windows build targeting Visual Studio 11. It will remain “Experimental” until VS11 itself is finalized. Please try it out if you have the developer preview of Visual Studio 11 installed. Let us know if you run into any VS11 specific issues. It is very new, and only tested enough to convince us it would be useful to include it for all of you to try out. If VS 11 crashes while you’re using it, please send the crash reports in so that Microsoft has a chance to fix all those crashing bugs before VS11 becomes an official release.

Thanks for using CMake!

-Dave
