------------------------
* Compatibility with versions of CMake older than 3.1 has been removed.
Calls to :command:`cmake_minimum_required` or :command:`cmake_policy`
that set the policy version to an older value now issue an error.
Note that calls to those commands can still support older versions of
CMake by using their ``VERSION`` arguments' ``<min>...<max>`` syntax.
This requires only the ``<min>`` version of CMake, but when running a
newer version, sets policies up to the ``<max>`` version.
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 14 2015` and :generator:`Visual Studio 15 2017`
generators no longer support specifying a platform as part of the generator
name. See :ref:`Visual Studio Platform Selection`.
