1.1.3

Many thanks to Yonggang Luo for several changes in this version.

Removal:

The visual CMake cache editor GUI is gone. The API with which it was drawn is being removed from a future version of VS Code, and the feature had many issues. A future CMake GUI will be introduced with more features and greater stability.

Features and Tweaks:

On Linux, will detect old CMake versions and offer to do an automatic upgrade. Windows support is pending. If you have a macOS devices and would like to contribute, please open a pull request!
Smarter parsing of GCC and Clang compile errors to fold note: and required from: blocks into their main diagnostic. This permits the folding and browsing of template and macro instantiation errors in a nicer fashion. MSVC error parsing pending. (NOTE: There is an upstream issue with the sort order of diagnostic information, so required from tracebacks may appear out-of-order).

Fixes:

On Windows, "Launch target in terminal" will use cmd.exe unconditionally. This works around issues with command quoting in PowerShell
"Debug target" will prefer lldb-mi to lldb. Fixes issues where cpptools is unable to launch the debugger.
Document the environmentVariables field on kits.
Fix legacy CMake mode not setting the CMake generator.
Permit limited variable expansion for cmake.cmakePath in settings.json (refer to documentation for more details).
