     Configuration
     -------------
+    - Reclassify CMake messages, to allow new modes and --log-level option
+
+      CMake message commands have a mode argument. By default, STATUS mode
+      was chosen for any non-error message. CMake version 3.15 added additional
+      modes, NOTICE, VERBOSE, DEBUG and TRACE. All message commands with a mode
+      of STATUS were reviewed and most were reclassified as VERBOSE. The new
+      mode was protected by a check for a CMake version of at least 3.15. If CMake
+      version 3.17 or above is used, the user can use the command line option
+      of "--log-level" to further restrict which message commands are displayed.

+    - Fixed tools argument parsing.
+
+        Tools parsing used the length of the option from the long array to match
+        the option from the command line. This incorrectly matched a shorter long
+        name option that was happened to be a subset of another long option.
+        Changed to match whole names.
