Version 0.19.0 (09-Feb-2026, Conan 2.X)

This is the first tagged version of cmake-conan for Conan 2.X.
This integration is based on the conan_provider.cmake CMake dependency provider. It has been in the develop2 branch since Conan 2.0 launch, and the new releases of this repo will be branched from develop2 branch.

It is still considered unstable, and changes can happen at anytime that breaks users. The recommendation for stability is to put a copy of conan_provider.cmake in your own repositories.
