+use-linker-depfile
+------------------
+
+* GNU (and GNU-compatible) linkers gained support for a ``--dependency-file``
+ flag in GNU Binutils 2.35 and LLVM's LLD 12.0.0. The
+ :ref:`Makefile <Makefile Generators>` and :ref:`Ninja <Ninja Generators>`
+ generators will now add these flags so that files read by the linker will
+ cause a relink if they change (typically modified timestamps).
+
+ This feature can be controlled by the variable
+ :variable:`CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDS_USE_LINKER`.

+CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDS_USE_LINKER
+-----------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.27
+
+For the :ref:`Makefile <Makefile Generators>` and
+:ref:`Ninja <Ninja Generators>` generators, link dependencies are now, for a
+selection of linkers, generated by the linker itself. By defining this
+variable with value ``FALSE``, you can deactivate this feature.
+
+This feature is also deactivated if the :prop_tgt:`LINK_DEPENDS_NO_SHARED`
+target property is true.
