+policy-version-range
+--------------------
+
+* The :command:`cmake_minimum_required` and :command:`cmake_policy(VERSION)`
+ commands now accept a version range using the form ``<min>[...<max>]``.
+ The ``<min>`` version is required but policies are set based on the
+ ``<max>`` version. This allows projects to specify a range of versions
+ for which they have been updated and avoid explicit policy settings.
