+doc-compilers-dropped
+---------------------
+
+* Support for building CMake itself with some compilers was dropped:
+
+ * Visual Studio 7.1 and 2005 -- superseded by VS 2008 and above
+ * MinGW.org mingw32 -- superseded by MSYS2 mingw32 and mingw64
+
+ CMake still supports generating build systems for other projects using
+ these compilers.
