* Several new properties and property initializers
* CPack finally reads `CMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION` variables
## [CMake 3.13 rc1] : Linking control
You can now make symbolic links on Windows! Lots of new functions that fill out the
popular requests for CMake, such as `add_link_options`, `target_link_directories`, and
`target_link_options`. You can now do quite a bit more modification to targets outside
of the source directory, for better file separation. Generator expressions can be used in
more places. And, `target_sources` *finally* handles relative paths properly.
* New `ctest --progress` option for live output
* `target_link_options` and `add_link_options` added
* `target_link_directories` added
* Symbolic link creation, `-E create_symlink`, supported on Windows
* IPO supported on Windows
* You can use `-S` and `-B` for source and build directories
* `target_link_libraries` and `install` work outside the current target directory
* `STATIC_LIBRARY_OPTIONS` property added
* `target_sources` is now relative to the current source directory
