+      
+    - 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.
+
+      (ADB - 2019/07/17, HDFFV-10424)
+
+    - 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. 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.
+

+
+    - Windows PDB files are installed incorrectly
+
+      For static builds, the PDB files for windows should be installed next
+      to the static libraries in the lib folder. Also the debug versions of
+      libraries and PDB files are now correctly built using the default
+      CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX setting.
+
+      (ADB - 2019/07/09, HDFFV-10581)
+
+    - Add option to build only shared libs
+
+      A request was made to prevent building static libraries and only build
+      shared.  A new option was added to CMake, ONLY_SHARED_LIBS, which will
+      skip building static libraries. Certain utility functions will build with
+      static libs but are not published. Tests are adjusted to use the correct
+      libraries depending on SHARED/STATIC settings.
