--- 2011-05-27  Release 7.20.0                                     ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This release marks the introduction of a new CMake build system for
BRL-CAD.  CMake is a cross-platform build system infrastructure
capable of generating native build system logic for a wide variety of
operating systems and compilation environments.  Cliff Yapp has been
diligently working on this adaptation for a number of months in order
to simplify the task of maintaining BRL-CAD on multiple platforms.

Previously, there were two build sytems being maintained in BRL-CAD.
One system was based on the GNU Autotools suite for Unix/Linux/BSD
platforms (including Mac OSX); the other was Microsoft Visual Studio
files for Windows.  The new build system handles all supported
platforms including Windows from the same build logic.  This
eliminates the need to manually update multiple build systems and
improves BRL-CAD cross-platform maintainability.
