------------------

* There is now the :variable:`CMAKE_INTERMEDIATE_DIR_STRATEGY` variable (and
  associated environment variable :envvar:`CMAKE_INTERMEDIATE_DIR_STRATEGY`)
  that may be used to change the strategy used to name intermediate
  directories used for object files (and other associated target metadata). It
  is supported for the following generators:

  - :ref:`Ninja Generators`
  - :ref:`Makefile Generators`
  - :ref:`Visual Studio Generators`

  Note that the strategy implementation may differ between generators.

* There is now the :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOGEN_INTERMEDIATE_DIR_STRATEGY`
  variable (and associated environment variable
  :envvar:`CMAKE_AUTOGEN_INTERMEDIATE_DIR_STRATEGY`)
  that may be used to change the strategy used to name intermediate
  directories used for :manual:`Qt Autogen <cmake-qt(7)>` files.
