A new CMake system was introduced to CGI Studio. This approach has several advantages:
it is based on newer CMake versions (CMake 3.19.0 or higher is required): some newer CMake features allow for a much simpler configuration
cleaner and idiomatic overall implementation: everything is implemented in a way following guide-lines from CMake.org. This makes it also easier to use it, as there is a lot of community documentation available.
better structure and order of the configuration: with the old system it is often quite difficult to find the correct place where all necessary information is available (such as target or OS information)

See Build System Setup for more details.
