.. versionadded:: 4.4

The :prop_dir:MACROS directory property does not exist anymore.

In CMake 4.3 and below, the macros defined in a directory are registered in the :prop_dir:MACROS directory property. However, the property does not have the same scope as macros, so it does not represent the actual list of macros. In CMake 4.4 and above, this property is not longer filled with the defined macros. One may still use :command:if(COMMAND myMacro) <if(COMMAND)> to test whether one exists.

The OLD behavior for this policy is to store macros definition in the :prop_dir:MACROS directory property. The NEW behavior for this policy is to no longer manage the :prop_dir:MACROS directory property.
