+FetchContent
+------------
+
+* A new :module:`FetchContent` module was added which supports populating
+ content at configure time using any of the download/update methods
+ supported by :command:`ExternalProject_Add`. This allows the content
+ to be used immediately during the configure stage, such as with
+ :command:`add_subdirectory`, etc. Hierarchical project structures are
+ well supported, allowing parent projects to override the content details
+ of child projects and ensuring content is not populated multiple times
+ throughout the whole project tree.
