-vs2019
-------
-
-* The :generator:`Visual Studio 16 2019` generator was added. This is
- experimental and based on "Visual Studio 2019 Preview 1.1" because this
- version of VS has not been released.
-
- The VS 2019 generator differs from generators for earlier versions
- in that it does not provide variants that specify the target platform
- in the generator name. Instead :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM`
- must be used, e.g. through the ``-A`` command-line option. Furthermore,
- the default target platform (architecture) is now based on the *host*
- platform.
