.. versionadded:: 3.16

The :command:project command preserves leading zeros in version components.

When a VERSION <major>[.<minor>[.<patch>[.<tweak>]]]] argument is given to the :command:project command, it stores the version string in the PROJECT_VERSION variable and stores individual integer version components in PROJECT_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,PATCH,TWEAK} variables (see policy :policy:CMP0048). CMake 3.15 and below dropped leading zeros from each component. CMake 3.16 and higher prefer to preserve leading zeros. This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated to expect the new behavior.

The OLD behavior of this policy drops leading zeros in all components, e.g. such that version 1.07.06 becomes 1.7.6. The NEW behavior of this policy preserves the leading zeros in all components, such that version 1.07.06 remains unchanged.
