The keys of the each document root mapping are:

- A YAML mapping that describes the schema version of the log document.

``events``
A YAML block sequence of nodes corresponding to events logged during
one CMake "configure" step. Each event is a YAML node containing one
of the `Event Kinds`_ documented below.
+Log Versioning
+--------------
+
+Each of the `Event Kinds`_ is versioned independently. The set of
+keys an event's log entry provides is specific to its major version.
+When an event is logged, the latest version of its event kind that is
+known to the running version of CMake is always written to the log.
+
+Tools reading the configure log must ignore event kinds and versions
+they do not understand:
+
+* A future version of CMake may introduce a new event kind or version.
+
+* If an existing build tree is re-configured with a different version of
+ CMake, the log may contain different versions of the same event kind.
