The 18th Edition of the book _Professional CMake: A Practical Guide_ is now available. It has been updated for the CMake 3.29 release. This is a fairly modest update, consisting mostly of incremental improvements and a few smaller new features (eg the new linker selection and test launcher support).

More detailed [release notes](https://crascit.com/professional-cmake/release-notes/18th-edition/) are available. As usual, the book is available exclusively from [https://crascit.com/professional-cmake/](https://crascit.com/professional-cmake/)
