| :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``. | |
