The 13th Edition of the book _Professional CMake: A Practical Guide_ is now available. It has been updated for the CMake 3.24 release. This is by far the book’s biggest update yet! A number of new chapters have been added:

- Advanced Linking
- Making Projects Consumable
- Dependency Providers

A major new feature covered in this edition is the integration between `find_package()` and the `FetchContent` module. The material on Ccache has also been updated for the recently added support for the Visual Studio toolchain.

More detailed [release notes](https://crascit.com/professional-cmake/release-notes/13th-edition/) are available. As usual, the book is available exclusively from [https://crascit.com/professional-cmake/](https://crascit.com/professional-cmake/)
