+    - CMake option to build the HDF filter plugins project as an external project
+
+        The HDF filter plugins project is a collection of registered compression
+        filters that can be dynamically loaded when needed to access data stored
+        in a hdf5 file. This CMake-only option allows the plugins to be built and
+        distributed with the hdf5 library and tools. Like the options for szip and
+        zlib, either a tgz file or a git repository can be specified for the source.
+
+        The option was refactored to use the CMake FetchContent process. This allows
+        more control over the filter targets, but required external project command
+        options to be moved to a CMake include file, HDF5PluginCache.cmake. Also
+        enabled the filter examples to be used as tests for operation of the
+        filter plugins.
