+* New :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_PDB_NAME` and
+  :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` target properties
+  were introduced to specify the MSVC compiler program database
+  file location (``cl /Fd``).  This complements the existing
+  :prop_tgt:`PDB_NAME` and :prop_tgt:`PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`
+  target properties that specify the linker program database
+  file location (``link /pdb``).
