+CMP0132
+-------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.24
+
+Apart from when using the Xcode generator and some Visual Studio generators,
+CMake 3.23 and below will set environment variables like :envvar:`CC`,
+:envvar:`CXX`, etc. when the corresponding language is enabled.
+This only occurs on the very first time CMake is run in a build directory,
+and the environment variables are only defined at configure time, not build
+time. On subsequent CMake runs, these environment variables are not set,
+opening up the opportunity for different behavior between the first and
+subsequent CMake runs. CMake 3.24 and above prefer to not set these
+environment variables when a language is enabled, even on the first run in
+a build directory.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy sets the relevant environment variable
+on the first run when a language is enabled. The ``NEW`` behavior for this
+policy does not set any such environment variables.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.24. Use the
+:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
+Unlike many policies, CMake version |release| does *not* warn
+when this policy is not set and simply uses ``OLD`` behavior.

+---------------------
+
+* CMake no longer sets environment variables like :envvar:`CC`, :envvar:`CXX`,
+ etc. when enabling the corresponding language during the first CMake run in
+ a build directory. See policy :policy:`CMP0132`.
