+## Dependencies from CMake subprojects now use only PUBLIC link flags
+
+Any [[@dep]] obtained from a CMake subproject (or `.wrap` with `method = cmake`)
+now only includes link flags marked in CMake as `PUBLIC` or `INTERFACE`.
+Flags marked as `PRIVATE` are now only applied when building the subproject
+library and not when using it as a dependency. This better matches how CMake
+handles link flags and fixes link errors when using some CMake projects as
+subprojects.
