3.30.3
------
+* The :command:`project(<PROJECT-NAME>)` command now sets
+ :variable:`<PROJECT-NAME>_SOURCE_DIR`, :variable:`<PROJECT-NAME>_BINARY_DIR`,
+ and :variable:`<PROJECT-NAME>_IS_TOP_LEVEL` as normal variables in addition
+ to setting them as cache entries. This is needed to preserve support for
+ some :module:`FetchContent` use cases under policy :policy:`CMP0169`'s
+ NEW behavior.
+
* The :module:`FindPython` and :module:`FindPython3` modules now define,
respectively, the ``Python_DEFINITIONS`` and ``Python3_DEFINITIONS``
variables on Windows to support development with the free threaded
version of Python. The :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS` target
property is also defined for the various targets provided by these modules.
+
+.. 3.30.4 (unreleased)
+
+ * The :command:`project(<PROJECT-NAME>)` command now sets
+ :variable:`<PROJECT-NAME>_SOURCE_DIR`, :variable:`<PROJECT-NAME>_BINARY_DIR`,
+ and :variable:`<PROJECT-NAME>_IS_TOP_LEVEL` as normal variables only if they
+ are already set as normal variables when :command:`project` is invoked.
+ Cache entries by the same names are always set as before.
+ This refines 3.30.3's behavior change to restore behavior of nested
+ directories that call :command:`project` with the same project name.
