The 19th Edition of *Professional CMake: A Practical Guide* is now available. One highlight is the new FetchContent behavior that avoids a sub-build (big potential performance gains!). Updated material for Qt 6.7 too. Get it from the usual place:

Hey! It's the time of year where we tell @mattgodbolt , @partouf, and the rest of the @CompileExplore team how much we appreciate their work!
They have completely changed how we teach, prototype, and think about C++ (and 30 other languages!).
