@@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ Improvements:
 - Improve CMake syntax highlighting with command-scoped keyword rules, expanded variable recognition, and better generator-expression support. Remove obsolete deprecated-keyword entries that caused false positives on user-defined names. [#4709](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/issues/4709) [#4508](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/issues/4508) [#4613](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/issues/4613)
 - Add MSVC linker error problem matching to the Problems pane. [#4675](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/pull/4675) [@bradphelan](https://github.com/bradphelan)
 - Use environment variables from `cmake.environment` and `cmake.configureEnvironment` when expanding `$penv{}` macros in CMake Presets `include` paths. [#3578](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/issues/3578)
+- Provide CMAKE_LANG_IMPLICIT_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES as system includes. [#4718](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/pull/4718)
 - Allow preset modification commands to target CMakeUserPresets.json. The target file is determined by the focused editor, or by prompting the user when both files exist. [#4564](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/issues/4564)
