Changes made since YCM 0.1 include the following.

Build System

• Use the INSTALL_PREFIX argument for CMakePackageConfigHelpers. This simplifies a lot the creation of the YCMConfig.cmake file for the binary tree.
• Fixed warnings with CMake 3.2.
• Added RunCMake unit tests.
• Added YCM_CMAKE_DOWNLOAD_URL variable and use github as default download url.
• Try to download the files up to 3 times in order to avoid common network issues.
• YCMBootstrap: Fix env variables list truncated to first element in Windows (#100).

Modules

Generic Modules

• StandardFindModule: Add QUIET argument.
• New module GitInfo.
• IncludeUrl: Several bug fixes and improvement.
• New module ReplaceImportedTargets.
• StandardFindModule: handle the new TARGET and REPLACE_TARGETS arguments, to create automatically the specified imported target and to replace the known targets paths with the relative target name (in pkg-config mode only). If any of the STANDARD_FIND_MODULE_USE_IMPORTED_TARGET or STANDARD_FIND_MODULE_USE_IMPORTED_TARGET_<NAME> are specified, and the TARGET argument is given, the <NAME>_LIBRARIES variable content is replaced with the corresponding imported target.
• StandardFindModule: Ensure that include directories exists.
• StandardFindModule: Fix INTERFACE_COMPILE_{DEFINITIONS,OPTIONS} properties.
• New module GetAllCMakeProperties.
• StandardFindModule Fix QUIET argument.

Packaging Helper Modules

• InstallBasicPackageFiles: Use the new INSTALL_PREFIX argument for CMakePackageConfigHelpers.
• New module AddInstallRPATHSupport: Add RPATH support when building executables or shared libraries.
• AddInstallRPATHSupport: Accept multiple conditions for the DEPENDS argument. This makes the DEPENDS argument similar to the CMakeDependentOptions module.
• fix AddInstallRPATHSupport for installation in system path

Superbuild Helper Modules

• YCMEPHelper now handles tests for sub-projects.
• YCMEPHelper: Pass PKG_CONFIG_USE_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to subprojects.
• YCMEPHelper: Prepare for CMAKE_CACHE_DEFAULT_ARGS. The argument is accepted, but not yet passed to ExternalProject_Add()
• YCMEPHelper: Pass PKG_CONFIG_PATH to non CMake subprojects.
• ExternalProject: Fix CMP0054 warnings.
• YCMEPHelper: Move CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to command line arguments. This fixes pkg-config not able to detect packages built by YCM.
• YCMEPHelper: Fix .dot files generation for modules containing the - character in the name.
• YCMEPHelper: Do not force CMake cache default arguments that are not set in the main project.
• FindOrBuildPackage: Extract version argument from ARGN.
• YCMEPHelper: variables in commands are no longer replaced. Instead of passing variables that are internal to YCMEPHelper, the user should use <SOURCE_DIR>, <BINARY_DIR>, <INSTALL_DIR>, and <TMP_DIR> that are automatically replaced by ExternalProject.
• YCMEPHelper: Handle and use CONFIGURE_SOURCE_DIR argument in order to support projects in a subdirectory.
• YCMEPHelper: Propagate CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH flag to all sub-projects.
