Documentation generated from the master branch is updated daily here:

The roadmap says early November:  

 http://public.kitware.com/Bug/roadmap_page.php

but it's likely to slip some weeks if past experience is a good forecast.

Whatever is true about additions to the Qt documentation, the CPackIFW 
generator looks like it should get a mention in 

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-qt.7.html

One option would be to add primary prose there and link to that from 

 http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-5.3/cmake-manual.html

and 

 http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/deployment.html
 
The CMake documentation can be loaded in creator

 http://www.kdab.com/context-sensitive-cmake-documentation-qtcreator/

and CMake releases will include a qch file from now on. Eg

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.1/CMake.qch

Thanks,

Steve.
