Error using FetchContent

[mcevoyandy]

Instead of compiling from source, if I use the suggested

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(fastcat
    GIT_REPOSITORY git@github.com:nasa-jpl/fastcat.git
    GIT_TAG v0.4.3
    )
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(fastcat)

I get the following error from cmake:

Try using a more modern version. v0.12.3 is the latest, v0.4.3 is ancient history

ah, sorry, I just copied from the README. Updating to the correct version works.
