+--------------------------
+
+* The :envvar:`CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE` environment variable was added to
+ allow users to override the default file-copying behavior of
+ :command:`install` and :command:`file(INSTALL)` into creating
+ symbolic links. This can aid in lowering storage space requirements
+ and avoiding redundancy.
+
+* The :command:`file(INSTALL)` can now be affected / modified by the
+ :envvar:`CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE` environment variable causing installation
+ of symbolic links instead of copying of files.
