+#### Details for `backend`
+
+Several build file formats are supported as command runners to build the
+configured project. Meson prefers ninja by default, but platform-specific
+backends are also available for better IDE integration with native tooling:
+Visual Studio for Windows, and xcode for macOS. It is also possible to
+configure with no backend at all, which is an error if you have targets to
+build, but for projects that need configuration + testing + installation allows
+for a lighter automated build pipeline.

+## New "none" backend
+
+The `--backend=none` option has been added, to configure a project that has no
+build rules, only install rules. This avoids depending on ninja.
