+imported-promotion
+------------------
+
+* Added new target-property :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_GLOBAL` which
+ indicates if an :ref:`IMPORTED target <Imported Targets>` is
+ globally visible.
+ It will be set automatically if such an imported target is
+ created with the ``GLOBAL`` flag.
+
+* Additionally, it is now also possible to promote a local imported
+ target to become globally visible by setting its
+ :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_GLOBAL` property to `TRUE`. (However, this
+ promotion can only succeed if it is done from within the same
+ directory where the imported target was created in the first
+ place.) Setting it to `FALSE` is not supported!
