+* Add the field ``global_frame`` to the json-v1 trace format. This
+  frame tracks the depth of the call stack globally across all
+  ``CMakeLists.txt`` files involved in the trace, and will let tools
+  reconstruct stack traces that span from the top-level ``CMakeLists.txt``
+  file of the project.
