| fetchcontent-direct | |
| ------------------- | |
| * :module:`FetchContent` now prefers to populate content directly rather | |
| than using a separate sub-build. This may significantly improve configure | |
| times on some systems (Windows especially, but also on macOS when using | |
| the Xcode generator). Policy :policy:`CMP0168` provides backward | |
| compatibility for those projects that still rely on using a sub-build for | |
| content population. |
