+## Automatic fallback to `cmake` subproject
+
+CMake subprojects have been supported for a while using the `cmake.subproject()`
+module method. However until now it was not possible to use a CMake subproject
+as fallback in a `dependency()` call.
+
+A wrap file can now specify the method used to build it by setting the `method`
+key in the wrap file's first section. The method defaults to `meson`.
+
+Supported methods:
+- `meson` requires `meson.build` file.
+- `cmake` requires `CMakeLists.txt` file. [See details](Wrap-dependency-system-manual.md#cmake-wraps).
