| |
| :command:`execute_process` ``ENCODING`` is ``UTF-8`` by default. |
| |
| The ``ENCODING`` option is meaningful only on Windows. It specifies the |
| character encoding expected in the process's output on stdout and stderr. |
| In CMake 3.14 and below the default encoding was ``NONE``, which corresponds |
| to CMake's internal UTF-8 encoding. In CMake 3.15 through CMake 3.30 the |
| default encoding was accidentally changed to ``AUTO``, but the change went |
| unnoticed and was not documented. |
| |
| CMake 3.31 and above prefer the ``ENCODING`` default to be ``UTF-8``. |
| This policy provides compatibility with projects that may have been |
| relying on the default being ``AUTO``. |
| |
| The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy is for :command:`execute_process` |
| to use ``AUTO`` by default if no ``ENCODING`` is specified. The ``NEW`` |
| behavior for this policy is to use ``UTF-8`` as the default ``ENCODING``. |
