+* The :cpack_gen:`CPack WIX Generator` gained a new variable,
+ :variable:`CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE`, to control the
+ ``InstallScope`` property of WiX MSI installers.
+
+* The :cpack_gen:`CPack WIX Generator` now produces WiX MSI installers
+ that create start menu and uninstall entries for all users by default,
+ as documented by the :variable:`CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE` variable
+ ``perMachine`` value. Previously, without a custom WiX template,
+ it produced installers that would only create start menu and uninstall
+ entries for the current user, even though they install for all users.
