+``RPATH`` entries are properly escaped in the intermediary CMake install script.
+
+In CMake 3.15 and earlier, ``RPATH`` entries set via
+:variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH` or via :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_RPATH` have not been
+escaped before being inserted into the ``cmake_install.cmake`` script. Dynamic
+linkers on ELF-based systems (e.g. Linux and FreeBSD) allow certain keywords in
+``RPATH`` entries, such as ``${ORIGIN}`` (More details are available in the
+``ld.so`` man pages on those systems). The syntax of these keywords can match
+CMake's variable syntax. In order to not be substituted (usually to an empty
+string) already by the intermediary ``cmake_install.cmake`` script, the user had
+to double-escape such ``RPATH`` keywords, e.g.
+``set(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH "\\\${ORIGIN}/../lib")``. Since the intermediary
+``cmake_install.cmake`` script is an implementation detail of CMake, CMake 3.16
+and later will make sure ``RPATH`` entries are inserted literally by escaping
+any coincidental CMake syntax.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy is to not escape ``RPATH`` entries in the
+intermediary ``cmake_install.cmake`` script. The ``NEW`` behavior is to properly
+escape coincidental CMake syntax in ``RPATH`` entries when generating the
+intermediary ``cmake_install.cmake`` script.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.16. CMake version |release| warns
+when the policy is not set and detected usage of CMake-like syntax and uses
+``OLD`` behavior. Use the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD``
+or ``NEW`` explicitly.

+
+The :command:`project` command preserves leading zeros in version components.
+
+When a ``VERSION <major>[.<minor>[.<patch>[.<tweak>]]]]`` argument is given
+to the :command:`project` command, it stores the version string in the
+``PROJECT_VERSION`` variable and stores individual integer version components
+in ``PROJECT_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,PATCH,TWEAK}`` variables (see policy
+:policy:`CMP0048`). CMake 3.15 and below dropped leading zeros from each
+component. CMake 3.16 and higher prefer to preserve leading zeros. This
+policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated to
+expect the new behavior.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy drops leading zeros in all components,
+e.g. such that version ``1.07.06`` becomes ``1.7.6``. The ``NEW`` behavior
+of this policy preserves the leading zeros in all components, such that
+version ``1.07.06`` remains unchanged.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.16. Unlike many policies, CMake
+version |release| does *not* warn when this policy is not set and simply uses
+the ``OLD`` behavior. Use the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to
+``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
