+-------
+
+Error on non-existent target in get_target_property.
+
+In CMake 2.8.12 and lower, the :command:`get_target_property` command accepted
+a non-existent target argument without issuing any error or warning. The
+result variable is set to a ``-NOTFOUND`` value.
+
+The OLD behavior for this policy is to issue no warning and set the result
+variable to a ``-NOTFOUND`` value. The NEW behavior
+for this policy is to issue a ``FATAL_ERROR`` if the command is called with a
+non-existent target.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.0.0. CMake version
+|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use
+the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly.
