----------------------------------------------------------------------
This release marks the introduction of a new CMake build system for
BRL-CAD. CMake is cross-platform build system infrastructure capable
of generating native build system logic for a wide variety of
operating systems and compilation environments. Cliff Yapp has been
diligently working on this adaptation for a number of months in order
to simplify the task of maintaining BRL-CAD on multiple platforms.
Previously, two separate build systems were being maintained: one
system (GNU Autotools) for Linux, UNIX, and BSD platforms (including
Mac OS X); and another separate system (Microsoft Visual Studio) for
Windows. The new build system supports all platforms (including
Windows) from the same build logic. This eliminates the need to
manually update multiple build systems and improves BRL-CAD
cross-platform maintainability.
