The basic idea is we create a version header template at
"src/base/version.h.in" and the build systems are expected to replace
strings that are enclosed with @ symbols and generate
"src/base/version.h" for other source files to consume/include.
This is unexpected for users that take single job compilation as the
default (which is always the case since forever). Users can change the
default if they wish to use multicore for compilation.
- Bump minimum required version and
make use of more modern language features
- Rely more on target_...() commands to establish dependency
relationships between targets rather than directory property commands
- Improve libtorrent package discovery
- Enable and handle application features more explicitly
- Improve user-facing output
- Fix various compilation issues on Windows (MSVC and MinGW) and macOS
- Improve handling of translations
- Add explanatory comments where relevant
- Make CMake scripts fully independent of qmake files/details
- Remove old functions/macros
