* The :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS` variable now defaults to true.
See policy :policy:`CMP0161`.
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack WIX Generator` now produces WiX MSI installers
that create start menu and uninstall entries for all users by default,
as documented by the :variable:`CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE` variable
``perMachine`` value. Previously, without a custom WiX template,
it produced installers that would only create start menu and uninstall
entries for the current user, even though they install for all users.

* These versions made no changes to documented features or interfaces.
Some implementation updates were made to support ecosystem changes
and/or fix regressions.
3.29.5
------
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack WIX Generator`'s :variable:`CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE`
variable, new in 3.29, now defaults to ``NONE``. This restores
compatibility with behavior of 3.28 and below: without a custom WiX
template, it produces installers that only create start menu and
uninstall entries for the current user, even though they install
for all users.
In 3.29.0 through 3.29.4, ``CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE`` defaulted to
``perMachine``. This created MSI installers that create start menu
and uninstall entries for all users by default. While this behavior
is better on its own, these installers do not cleanly replace existing
installations created with MSI installers produced by 3.28 and below.
3.29.5 reverts the default for compatibility. Projects may transition
to ``perMachine`` on their own schedule by setting
``CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE``.
