+unsupported-compilers
+---------------------
+
+* The implementation of CMake relies on some C++ compiler features which are
+ not supported by some older compilers. As a result, those old compilers
+ can no longer be used to build CMake itself. CMake continues to be able to
+ generate Makefiles and project files for users of those old compilers
+ however. The compilers known to no longer be capable of building CMake
+ are:
+
+ * MSVC 6 and 7.0 - superceded by VisualStudio 7.1 and newer compilers.
+ * GCC 2.95 - superceded by GCC 3 and newer compilers.
+ * Borland compilers - superceded by other Windows compilers.
+ * Compaq compilers - superceded by other compilers.
+ * Comeau compilers - superceded by other compilers.
+ * SGI compilers - IRIX was dropped as a host platform.
+
+ When building using SolarisStudio 12, the default ``libCStd`` standard
+ library is not sufficient to build CMake. The SolarisStudio distribution
+ supports compiler options to use ``STLPort4`` or ``libstdc++``. An
+ appropriate option to select the standard library is now added
+ automatically when building CMake with SolarisStudio compilers.

+windows-utf-8
+-------------
+
+* On Windows, CMake learned to support international characters.
+ This allows use of characters from multiple (spoken) languages
+ in CMake code, paths to source files, configured files such as
+ ``.h.in`` files, and other files read and written by CMake.
+ Because CMake interoperates with many other tools, there may
+ still be some limitations when using certain international
+ characters.
+
+ Files written in the :manual:`cmake-language(7)`, such as
+ ``CMakeLists.txt`` or ``*.cmake`` files, are expected to be
+ encoded as UTF-8. If files are already ASCII, they will be
+ compatible. If files were in a different encoding, including
+ Latin 1, they will need to be converted.
+
+ The Visual Studio generators now write solution and project
+ files in UTF-8 instead of Windows-1252. Windows-1252 supported
+ Latin 1 languages such as those found in North and South America
+ and Western Europe. With UTF-8, additional languages are now
+ supported.
