     Configuration:
     -------------
-    - Add mingw support with toolchain file
+    - Update CMake tests to use FIXTURES
+
+      CMake test fixtures allow setup/cleanup tests and other dependency
+      requirements as properties for tests. This is more flexible for
+      modern CMake code.

+    - Windows PDB files are always installed
+
+      There are build configuration or flag settings for Windows that may not
+      generate PDB files. If those files are not generated then the install
+      utility will fail because those PDB files are not found. An optional
+      variable, DISABLE_PDB_FILES, was added to not install PDB files.

+    - Add mingw CMake support with a toolchain file
 
       There has been a number of mingw issues that has been linked under
       HDFFV-10845. It has been decided to implement the CMake cross-compiling
       technique of toolchain files. We will use a linux platform with the mingw
-      compiler stack for testing.
+      compiler stack for testing. Only the C language is fully supported, and
+      the error tests are skipped. The C++ language works for static but shared
+      builds has a shared library issue with the mingw Standard Exception Handling
+      library, which is not available on Windows. Fortran has a common cross-compile
+      problem with the fortran configure tests.
