1.3.0-beta (multi-root workspace support)

This pre-release version of the extension provides first class support for multi-root workspaces. We'd like to get your feedback on it.

There are new commands that let you operate on multiple folders at once and a new status bar item that tells you which folder is currently active (for the single-root commands) when you are navigating through your files. By default, the extension will auto select the active folder based on the file you are editing. If you dislike this behavior, you can disable it with the cmake.autoSelectActiveFolder setting. When this setting is disabled, you can click on the new status bar item or use the CMake: Select Active Folder command to select the active folder.

To install it:

• Download the cmake-tools.vsix file attached here
• Run the "Extensions: Install from VSIX..." command in VS Code and select the .vsix file you downloaded

1.2.0

Thank you to the following CMake Tools contributors: @KoeMai, @bjosa, @emanspeaks, @Som1Lse,
@dcourtois, @tsing80, @andy-held, @notskm, @TheZogoth, @yokuyuki, @dbird137, @FabianoGK, @randshot.

@vector-of-bool has moved on to other things and Microsoft is now maintaining this extension. Thank you @vector-of-bool for all of your hard work getting this extension to where it is today!

Breaking changes:

• The publisher id changes to ms-vscode.cmake-tools.
  • This requires that you uninstall earlier versions of the extension.
• Scanning for kits is able to detect more accurately multiple Visual Studio installations.
  The CMake Tools Extension is still able to work with the old definition VS kits, but for simplicity and to avoid duplicates, the extension will prompt for permission to delete them when the "Scan for kits" command is invoked.

Features:

• Support for localized messages.
• Cross compile support for CppTools integration.
• Adapt CppTools integration to API version 3. #637
• Expand kit environment variables. #460
• Add new commands: launchTargetDirectory, buildType, buildDirectory. #334, #654, #564, #559, #695
• Add support for VS2010.

Improvements:

• Restructuring of the CMake Driver.
• Improve stability of CMake Generator Selection. #512
• Refactor and extend CMS-server driver test.
• Rework the CMake Build from a terminal to a task.
• Add Launch target test.
• Increase wait time in test to open terminal.

Bug fixes:

• Cannot execute current target without a debugger. #601
• Path clobbering by bad kit file env. #701, #713
• Target install missing. #504
• CTest controller updated on reconfig. #212
• Recalculate total for every run of CTest.
• Debug target does not find GDB. #375

1.1.3

For those having issues with 1.2.x, this is the old 1.1.3 VSIX. Please also open an issue so that we can address the problem.

You will also want to use the "extensions.autoUpdate": false setting to temporarily disable automatic updates while we fix your issue.
