| CMP0096 |
| ------- |
| |
| The :command:`project` command preserves leading zeros in version components. |
| |
| When a ``VERSION <major>[.<minor>[.<patch>[.<tweak>]]]]`` argument is given |
| to the :command:`project` command, it stores the version string in the |
| ``PROJECT_VERSION`` variable and stores individual integer version components |
| in ``PROJECT_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,PATCH,TWEAK}`` variables (see policy |
| :policy:`CMP0048`). CMake 3.15 and below dropped leading zeros from each |
| component. CMake 3.16 and higher prefer to preserve leading zeros. This |
| policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated to |
| expect the new behavior. |
| |
| The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy drops leading zeros in all components, |
| e.g. such that version ``1.07.06`` becomes ``1.7.6``. The ``NEW`` behavior |
| of this policy preserves the leading zeros in all components, such that |
| version ``1.07.06`` remains unchanged. |
| |
| This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.16. Unlike many policies, CMake |
| version |release| does *not* warn when this policy is not set and simply uses |
| the ``OLD`` behavior. Use the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to |
| ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly. |
