+dependency-providers
+--------------------
+
+* The :command:`cmake_language` command gained a new
+ ``SET_DEPENDENCY_PROVIDER`` sub-command. When a dependency provider is set,
+ calls to :command:`find_package` and :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable`
+ can be redirected through a custom command, which can choose to fulfill the
+ request directly, modify how the request is processed, or leave it to be
+ fulfilled by the built-in implementation. See :ref:`dependency_providers`.
