The 17th Edition of the book _Professional CMake: A Practical Guide_ is now available. It has been updated for the CMake 3.28 release. The main highlights of this new edition are support for C++20 modules and XCFrameworks.

The _Language Requirements_ chapter also got a bit of an overhaul. The updated advice around setting language standards and whether compiler extensions are enabled will be especially important if you’re going to be using C++20 modules!

More detailed [release notes](https://crascit.com/professional-cmake/release-notes/17th-edition/) are available. As usual, the book is available exclusively from [https://crascit.com/professional-cmake/](https://crascit.com/professional-cmake/)
