+## Added follow_symlinks arg to install_data, install_header, and install_subdir
+
+The [[install_data]], [[install_headers]], [[install_subdir]] functions now
+have an optional argument `follow_symlinks` that, if set to `true`, makes it so
+symbolic links in the source are followed, rather than copied into the
+destination tree, to match the old behavior. The default, which is currently
+to follow links, is subject to change in the future.
