-Experimental cmake-based build support for APR on Microsoft Windows
+CMake based build support for APR on Microsoft Windows
 
 Status
 ------
 
 This build support is currently intended only for Microsoft Windows.
 
-This build support is experimental.  Specifically,
-
-* It does not support all features of APR.
-* Some components may not be built correctly and/or in a manner
-  compatible with the previous Windows build support.
-* Build interfaces, such as the mechanisms which are used to enable
-  optional functionality or specify prerequisites, may change from
-  release to release as feedback is received from users and bugs and
-  limitations are resolved.
-
-Important: Refer to the "Known Bugs and Limitations" section for further
-           information.
-
-           It is beyond the scope of this document to document or explain
-           how to utilize the various cmake features, such as different
-           build backends or provisions for finding support libraries.
-
-           Please refer to the cmake documentation for additional information
-           that applies to building any project with cmake.
-
 Prerequisites
 -------------
 
 The following tools must be in PATH:
 
-* cmake, version 2.8 or later
+* cmake, version 3.0 or later
   cmake version 3.1.3 or later is required to work with current OpenSSL
   releases.  (OpenSSL is an optional prerequisite of APR.)
 * If using a command-line compiler: compiler and linker and related tools
   (Refer to the cmake documentation for more information.)
 
-The following support libraries are mandatory:
-
-* Either expat or libxml2
-
 Additional support libraries allow optional features of APR to be enabled:
 
+* Expat
+* Iconv
+* Libxml2
+* SQlite3
 * OpenSSL
-* many others potentially, though the build support isn't currently
-  implemented

 Generally:
 
-* Many APR features have not been tested with this build.
-* Developers need to examine the existing Windows build in great detail and see
-  what is missing from the cmake-based build, whether a feature or some build
-  nuance.
 * Any feedback you can provide on your experiences with this build will be
   helpful.
