+default-generator-env
+---------------------
+
+* The :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR` environment variable was added
+ to specify a default generator to use when :manual:`cmake(1)` is
+ run without a ``-G`` option. Additionally, environment variables
+ :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM`, :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET`,
+ and :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` were created to configure
+ the generator.
