+fetchcontent-direct
+-------------------
+
+* :module:`FetchContent` now prefers to populate content directly rather
+ than using a separate sub-build. This may significantly improve configure
+ times on some systems (Windows especially, but also on macOS when using
+ the Xcode generator). Policy :policy:`CMP0168` provides backward
+ compatibility for those projects that still rely on using a sub-build for
+ content population.
