<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Since i got a few emails over this particular change... I will go ahead and explain the primary reason for this change. It's a minor change when you consider that most current linux distributions have included some version of cmake 2.8 for more than 2 years. Also, The last release for cmake 2.6 was in 2009, and there was less than a year spent on the CMake 2.6 series. This means that this is only a slight change to require slightly newer tools seeing as how cmake 2.8 was released within 6 months of Cmake 2.6.8 ( see [1] for information ).<br>
<br></div><div>Anyways, for developers working on Windows, Freebsd, and/or Mac OS X, there is a high chance these developers will install Cmake 2.8 seeing as how this works on all recent computers.<br><br></div>[1] Cmake News on kitware's website:<br>
