+----------------------

+* The :module:`WriteCompilerDetectionHeader` module gained the
+ ``ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILERS`` and ``ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSIONS`` options
+ that allow creation of headers that will work also with unknown or old
+ compilers by simply assuming they do not support any of the requested
+ features.
