+vs2019
+------
+
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 16 2019` generator was added. This is
+ experimental and based on "Visual Studio 2019 Preview 1.1" because this
+ version of VS has not been released.
+
+ The VS 2019 generator differs from generators for earlier versions
+ in that it does not provide variants that specify the target platform
+ in the generator name. Instead :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM`
+ must be used, e.g. through the ``-A`` command-line option. Furthermore,
+ the default target platform (architecture) is now based on the *host*
+ platform.
