Professional CMake: A Practical Guide 1st Edition

This is part of the change history for the book Professional CMake: A Practical Guide. The book was initially released with a X.Y.Z versioning scheme, but this was found to be incompatible with some book-tracking systems. All 1.0.z releases are considered to be “1st Edition” and do not have any ISBN.

v1.0.3

12th August 2018

This release contains fixes for a number of trivial typos, grammar and formatting improvements. Two diagrams were also corrected as mentioned below.

Apple chapter:

  • The macOS framework directory structure example diagrams incorrectly showed the Resources, Headers and PrivateHeaders subdirectories parented under Versions instead of Versions/A. The text correctly described the locations of these subdirectories, but the diagrams have been updated in this release to reflect their correct locations (two diagrams, both in section 22.3).
