 Changes made since CMake 3.10 include the following.
 
-* When using :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC`, CMake starts multiple
-  parallel ``moc`` or ``uic`` processes to reduce the build time.
-  The new :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOGEN_PARALLEL` variable and
-  :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_PARALLEL` target property allow to modify the number of
-  parallel ``moc`` or ``uic`` processes to start.
-  By default CMake starts a single ``moc`` or ``uic`` process for each physical
-  CPU on the host system.
+New Features
+============
 
-* The :module:`FindBLAS` and :module:`FindLAPACK` modules learned to support
-  `FLAME <https://github.com/flame>`__ ``blis`` and ``libflame``.
-
-* Variables containing newlines in their values now get truncated before the
-  newline when they are written to the cache file. In addition, a warning
-  comment is written to the cache file, and a warning message is displayed to
-  the user on the console.
-
-* The :module:`CheckIncludeFile` module ``check_include_file`` macro
-  learned to honor the ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES`` variable.
-
-* The :module:`CheckIncludeFileCXX` module ``check_include_file_cxx`` macro
-  learned to honor the ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES`` variable.
-
-* The :module:`CheckIncludeFiles` module ``check_include_files`` macro
-  learned to honor the ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES`` variable.
+Platforms
+---------
 
-* The :module:`CheckIncludeFiles` module :command:`CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES`
-  command gained a ``LANGUAGE`` option to specify whether to check using the
-  ``C`` or ``CXX`` compiler.
-
-* The :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS` variable was added
-  to enable setting of default permissions for directories created implicitly
-  during installation of files by :command:`install` and
-  :command:`file(INSTALL)`.
-
-* The :variable:`CPACK_INSTALL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS` variable was added
-  which serves the same purpose during packaging as the
-  :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS` variable serves during
-  installation (e.g. ``make install``).
-
-* A :variable:`CMAKE_JOB_POOLS` variable was added specify a value to use for
-  the :prop_gbl:`JOB_POOLS` property. This enables control over build
-  parallelism with command line configuration parameters when using the Ninja
-  generator.
+* TI C/C++ compilers are now supported by the :generator:`Ninja` generator.
 
-* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--open <dir>`` command line option can now
-  be used to open generated IDE projects like Visual Studio solutions
-  or Xcode projects.
+Generators
+----------
 
 * The :generator:`CodeBlocks` extra generator learned to check a
   :variable:`CMAKE_CODEBLOCKS_COMPILER_ID` variable for a custom
   compiler identification value to place in the project file.
 
-* The :module:`CPackIFW` module gained new
-  :variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_REMOVE_TARGET_DIR` variable to control
-  if the target directory should not be deleted when uninstalling.
-
-* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to enable enforcing of execute
-  privileges on programs and shared libraries.
-  See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_INSTALL_WITH_EXEC` variable.
-
-* :manual:`cpack(1)` gained ``--trace`` and ``--trace-expand`` options.
-
-* The :command:`ctest_start` command no longer sets
-  :variable:`CTEST_RUN_CURRENT_SCRIPT` due to issues with scoping if it is
-  called from inside a function. Instead, it sets an internal variable in
-  CTest. However, setting :variable:`CTEST_RUN_CURRENT_SCRIPT` to 0 at the
-  global scope still prevents the script from being re-run at the end.
-
-* A :variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION` variable was added to
-  initialize the :prop_tgt:`CUDA_SEPARABLE_COMPILATION` target property
-  on targets when they are created.
-
-* The :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)` and :command:`file(UPLOAD)` commands
-  gained ``NETRC`` and ``NETRC_FILE`` options to specify use of a
-  ``.netrc`` file.
-
-* The :module:`ExternalProject` module gained ``NETRC`` and ``NETRC_FILE``
-  options to specify use of a ``.netrc`` file.
-
-* The :variable:`CMAKE_NETRC` and :variable:`CMAKE_NETRC_FILE` variables
-  were added to specify use of a ``.netrc`` file by the
-  :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)` and :command:`file(UPLOAD)` commands and
-  the :module:`ExternalProject` module.
-
-* :command:`add_library` and :command:`add_executable` commands can now be
-  called without any sources and will not complain as long as sources will
-  be added later via :command:`target_sources`.
-
-* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policies ``CMP0037``
-  through ``CMP0054`` (``CMP0036`` and below were already deprecated).
-  The :manual:`cmake-policies(7)` manual explains that the OLD behaviors
-  of all policies are deprecated and that projects should port to the
-  NEW behaviors.
-
-* The :command:`doxygen_add_docs` function of the :module:`FindDoxygen` module
-  now supports a new ``DOXYGEN_VERBATIM_VARS`` list variable. Any
-  ``DOXYGEN_...`` variable contained in that list will bypass the automatic
-  quoting logic, leaving its contents untouched when transferring them to the
-  output Doxyfile.
+* The :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator learned
+  to add compiler launcher tools along with the compiler for the ``Fortran``
+  language (``C``, ``CXX``, and ``CUDA`` were supported previously).
+  See the :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` variable and
+  :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` target property for details.
 
 * :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` learned to support the ``COMPILE_LANGUAGE``
   :manual:`generator expression <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>` in
   target-wide :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_DEFINITIONS`,
   :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`, :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_OPTIONS`, and
-  :command:`file(GENERATE)`.
+  :command:`file(GENERATE)`.  See generator expression documentation

 * The :generator:`Xcode` generator learned to support the ``COMPILE_LANGUAGE``
   :manual:`generator expression <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>` in
   target-wide :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_DEFINITIONS` and
   :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`.  It previously supported only
   :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_OPTIONS` and :command:`file(GENERATE)`.
+  See generator expression documentation for caveats.
 
-* The :module:`ExternalProject` module learnt to substitute ``<DOWNLOAD_DIR>``
-  in comments, commands, working directory and byproducts.
+Commands
+--------
 
-* A new :module:`FetchContent` module was added which supports populating
-  content at configure time using any of the download/update methods
-  supported by :command:`ExternalProject_Add`.  This allows the content
-  to be used immediately during the configure stage, such as with
-  :command:`add_subdirectory`, etc.  Hierarchical project structures are
-  well supported, allowing parent projects to override the content details
-  of child projects and ensuring content is not populated multiple times
-  throughout the whole project tree.
-
-* A :module:`FindIconv` module was added to locate iconv support.
-
-* The :module:`FindOpenGL` module now prefers GLVND libraries if available.
-  See policy :policy:`CMP0072`.

+  The original intention was to only allow properties which made sense for
   ``INTERFACE`` libraries, but it also blocked usage of custom properties.
 
-* The :command:`write_basic_package_version_file` understands a new
-  ``SameMinorVersion`` option for the ``COMPATIBILITY`` argument.
+* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--open <dir>`` command-line option was added

+
+Deprecated and Removed Features
+===============================
+
+* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policies ``CMP0037``
+  through ``CMP0054`` (``CMP0036`` and below were already deprecated).
+  The :manual:`cmake-policies(7)` manual explains that the OLD behaviors
+  of all policies are deprecated and that projects should port to the
+  NEW behaviors.
+
+* The ``KDevelop3`` generator has been removed.
+
+Other Changes
+=============
+
+* Policy :policy:`CMP0037` no longer reserves target names associated
+  with optional features, such as ``test`` and ``package``, unless
+  the corresponding feature is enabled.
+
+* The :module:`FindOpenGL` module now prefers GLVND libraries if available.
+  See policy :policy:`CMP0072`.
+
+* The minimum deployment target set in the
+  :variable:`CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` variable used to be only
+  applied for macOS regardless of the selected SDK.  It is now properly
+  set for the target platform selected by :variable:`CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT`.
+  For example, if the sysroot variable specifies an iOS SDK then the
+  value in ``CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET`` is interpreted as minimum
+  iOS version.
 
 * The :generator:`Xcode` generator behavior of generating one project
-  file per :command:`project()` command could now be controlled with the
+  file per :command:`project()` command may now be controlled with the
   :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_GENERATE_TOP_LEVEL_PROJECT_ONLY` variable.
   This could be useful to speed up the CMake generation step for
   large projects and to work-around a bug in the ``ZERO_CHECK`` logic.
+
+* Since the ``CMakeCache.txt`` format does not support newlines in values,
+  values containing newlines are now truncated before writing to the file.
+  In addition, a warning comment is written to the cache file, and a warning
+  message is displayed to the user on the console.
