 Changes made since CMake 3.23 include the following.
 
-* The ADSP compiler (SHARC and Blackfin) now supports
-  both CCES and VDSP++ installations,
-  with required configuration now done in the compiler module itself
-  rather than the Generic-ADSP platform module.
+New Features
+============
 
-* A dedicated ``ADSP`` platform has been added
-  to replace the existing ``Generic-ADSP`` implementation.
-  This features automatic detection of the latest CCES/VDSP++ install
-  and compiler selection (``cc21k`` vs. ``ccblkfn``)
-  based off of the :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR` variable.
+Presets
+-------
 
-* The :genex:`LINK_LIBRARY` generator expression gained the ability to link
-  frameworks in various ways when targeting ``Apple`` platforms. The following
-  new features were added:
+* :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` files now support schema version ``5``.
 
-  * ``FRAMEWORK``
-  * ``NEEDED_FRAMEWORK``
-  * ``REEXPORT_FRAMEWORK``
-  * ``WEAK_FRAMEWORK``
+* :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` files now support a ``${pathListSep}`` macro,
+  which expands to ``:`` or ``;`` based on the platform.
 
-* The :genex:`LINK_LIBRARY` generator expression gained the ability to link
-  libraries in various ways when targeting ``Apple`` platforms. The following
-  new features were added:
+* :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` files gained support for specifying a
+  ``testOutputTruncation`` field in test presets, which specifies the
+  truncation mode once the maximum test output size has been reached.
 
-  * ``NEEDED_LIBRARY``
-  * ``REEXPORT_LIBRARY``
-  * ``WEAK_LIBRARY``
+Generators
+----------
 
-* :command:`cmake_host_system_information` command gains the capability, on
-  ``Windows`` platform, to  query the registry.
+* The :generator:`Green Hills MULTI` generator now generates build
+  rules to re-run CMake if any CMake files are updated.
 
-* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` command gained the ``--touch`` option
-  to keep the current local timestamp instead of extracting file timestamps
-  from the archive.
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` now support ``SYSTEM`` headers.
+
+Command-Line
+------------
 
 * :manual:`cmake(1)` gained the ``--fresh`` command-line option to remove
-  any existing ``CMakeCache.txt`` when configuring a build tree.
+  any existing ``CMakeCache.txt`` when configuring a build tree, thus
+  starting a new configuration as if the build tree were freshly created.
 
-* The :variable:`CMAKE_PROJECT_TOP_LEVEL_INCLUDES` variable was added to allow
-  injecting custom code at the site of the first :command:`project` call,
-  after the host and target platform details have been determined.
+* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained the ``--compile-no-warning-as-error`` command-line

+  ``global_frame`` and ``line_end``.
 
 * The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E`` commands ``cat`` and ``env`` learned to respect
   a double dash (``--``) argument that acts as a delimiter indicating the end of
   options. Any following arguments are treated as operands/positional arguments,
   even if they begin with a dash ``-`` character.
 
-* The :variable:`CMAKE_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS` variable was added to control
-  color diagnostics generated by compilers.  This variable also controls
