+ep-update-disconnected
+----------------------
+
+* The ``update`` and ``patch`` steps of an :module:`ExternalProject` will now
+ always re-execute if any of their details change, even if
+ ``UPDATE_DISCONNECTED`` was set to true in the call to
+ :command:`ExternalProject_Add`. If using the GIT download method and the
+ ``GIT_TAG`` is changed and the new ``GIT_TAG`` isn't already known locally,
+ this is now a fatal error instead of silently using the previous ``GIT_TAG``.
+
+* When ``UPDATE_DISCONNECTED`` is set to true in a call to
+ :command:`ExternalProject_Add`, the ``configure`` step will no longer
+ re-run on every build. It will only re-run if details of the ``download``,
+ ``update`` or ``patch`` step change.
