[vtk-developers] cvs VTK now requires CMake 2.6.3

Mon Jul 20 11:56:38 EDT 2009

I simply prefer it because the list of bug fixes in it is significantly long
enough that it just feels better knowing I am using better software. For
VTK, go ahead and use CMake 2.6.3 if you are not encountering any of these
bugs.
Leave the requirement at 2.6.3 for VTK, but use the latest CMake whenever
possible. Certainly, don't complain about it if you are using CMake 2.6.3
and a later version contains a bug fix which you might find useful..... :-)

Changes in CMake 2.6.4 RC 6
- Use $ var in CPack.cmake, and not @var@
- Add more missing OSXX11 CPack files
