Extend the test_prep/<test> and test_prep/all build targets, generated
from add_test(BUILD_DEPENDS) when CMAKE_TEST_BUILD_DEPENDS is enabled, to
the Makefile generators. Previously only the Ninja and FASTBuild
generators provided them.
Resolve each test's dependencies in a shared layer so all command-line
generators consume one result. cmTestGenerator now filters target
dependencies to build-system targets and records, for each file
dependency, the single target that produces it as a primary
custom-command output (cmGlobalGenerator::FindOutputOwningTarget). The
Makefile generators emit phony rules in CMakeFiles/Makefile2 depending on
<target>.dir/all, with top-level forwarding rules. Sharing the
resolution also stops Ninja and FASTBuild from emitting a dead test_prep
edge for a non-buildable (e.g. INTERFACE) BUILD_DEPENDS target.
On the Makefile generators a file dependency that no single target
produces, and a test whose name contains ':', cannot be expressed as a
recursive-make rule and are reported with a warning and skipped.

Add an existence check to the `if` command for diagnostic categories,
mirroring the check for policies. Aside from being desirable for
consistency's sake, this will make it easier for users to write logic to
manipulate diagnostics from newer versions of CMake that don't exist
today.
Exclude files and directories matching the given patterns while creating
an archive, using libarchive's matcher for parity with file(ARCHIVE_EXTRACT).
Fixes: #27877.
Omit archive entries matching the given patterns when extracting or
listing. May be combined with PATTERNS; on overlap the exclusion
takes precedence.

Merge-request: !12117
Give data version the new format <major>.<minor>, so that
the version can be incremented with the introduction of new
features without bumping the major version.
Add support for loading instrumentation JSON queries of unknown
data versions without error.
Issue: #27833
CMake writes ConfigureCommand and MakeCommand entries into
DartConfiguration.tcl when configuring a project that uses the CTest module.
These values prevented users from being able to use configure/build presets
in dashboard client mode from a pre-configured build directory.
This commit updates ctest_configure() and ctest_build() to ignore
CTEST_CONFIGURE_COMMAND / CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND when a preset is specified.
This allows the requested preset to be honored.
Commit 4f120beea9 (FILE_SET: relax file uniqueness for HEADERS type,
2026-05-10) relaxed the restriction on file uniqueness in file sets, but
did not correctly update all instances of the documentation. Change the
wording to be a bit clearer and update all instances.
Add `test_prep/<test_name>` convenience targets to the ninja generator
to build dependencies of tests, and `test_prep/all` to build the dependencies
of all tests.
Build dependencies of a test include:
- Executables directly invoked by test `COMMAND`.
- Targets mentioned in generator expressionf os test `COMMAND`.
- Anything explicitly listed with the new `BUILD_DEPENDS` argument of `add_test`.
Issue: #27613
The instrumentation docs were unclear about the difference between API
and Data version, with the hierarchy of the table of contents being
particularly misleading.
Rework `cmake-instrumentation` manual and `cmake_instrumentation` command
documentation to be more clear.
- Change default CPS install path on Windows from `cps` to `cps/<name>`,
per community recommendation that only paths containing the package name
should be considered as "officially" supported search locations (see
https://github.com/cps-org/cps/issues/79#issuecomment-2831102822).
- Change `export` to write to a subdirectory that allows the build
tree to be used as a search root.
- Change SBOM destinations to be consistent with the preceding.
Issue: #27785
This was left out of commit b7a5f2732d (PellesC: Add minimal support for
this C compiler, 2026-04-03) because the implementation was not usable
in general. It is now.
