The ``NEW`` behavior is to ignore +CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY completely. + +In CMake 2.4 and below the variable ``CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY`` was +used to request compatibility with earlier versions of CMake. In +CMake 2.6 and above all compatibility issues are handled by policies +and the :command:`cmake_policy` command. However, CMake must still check +``CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY`` for projects written for CMake 2.4 and +below. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.0.
