Incompatible changes:
- Add --incompatible_disallow_legacy_javainfo flag.
- Added flag --incompatible_disallow_old_style_args_add to help migrate from args.add() to args.add_all() / args.add_joined() where appropriate.
New features:
- Bash,runfiles: use the new platform-independent library in
@bazel_tools//tools/bash/runfiles to access runfiles (data-dependencies). See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/tools/bash/runfile s/runfiles.bash for usage information.
- TemplateVariableInfo can now be constructed from Skylark.
- The java_host_runtime_alias rule is now implemented in Java.
Important changes:
- Flip default value of --experimental_shortened_obj_file_path to true, Bazel now generates short object file path by default.
- Introduce fdo_profile rule that allows architecture-sensitive specification of fdo profiles.
- canonicalize-flags no longer reorders the flags
- CppRules: optional_compiler_flag was removed from CROSSTOOL, use features instead.
- Labels of the form ////foo are disallowed.
- The
/ operator is deprecated in favor of // (floor integer division). Try the --incompatible_disallow_slash_operator flag to ensure your code is forward-compatible.
- Flip default value of --experimental_shortened_obj_file_path to true, Bazel now generates short object file path by default.
- Exposed "mnemonic" and "env" fields on skylark "Action" objects.
- Removed flag
--incompatible_disallow_toplevel_if_statement.
- Remove vestigial 'deps' and 'data' attributes from proto_lang_toolchain
- Args objects (ctx.actions.args()) have new methods add_all() and add_joined() for building command lines using depsets.
FileType is deprecated and will be removed soon. Try the --incompatible_disallow_filetype flag to ensure your code is forward-compatible.- Introduce absolute_path_profile attribute that allows fdo_profile to accept absolute paths.
- Support two-arg overloads for ctx.actions.args (eg. args.add("--foo", val))
- Introduce 'tools' attribute to ctx.actions.run.
- Fixed error message for proguard_apply_dictionary.
- "bazel run" now lets one run interactive binaries. The BUILD_WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY and BUILD_WORKING_DIRECTORY environment variables indicate the working directory and the workspace root of the Bazel invocation. Tests are provided with an approximation of the official test environment.
- repository rules are no longer restricted to return None.
- Add --high_priority_workers flag.
- CppRules: Feature configuration can be created from Skylark
- Adds new-style JavaInfo provider constructor.
- Make java_common.compile now uses java_toolchain javacopts by default; explicitly retrieving them using java_common.default_javac_opts is unnecessary.
- CppRules: C++ command lines and env variables for C++ actions can be retrieved from feature configuration.
- Skylark rule definitions may advertise providers that targets of the rule must propagate.
- Bazel now supports running actions inside Docker containers. To use this feature, run "bazel build --spawn_strategy=docker --experimental_docker_image=myimage:latest".
- Remote execution works for Windows binaries with launchers.
- Fixing start/end lib expansion for linking. There were many cases where archive files were still being used with toolchains that support start/end lib. This change consolidates the places that make that decision so they can be more consistent.
- Add support for reporting an error if android_test.binary_under_test contains incompatible versions of deps
- We replaced the --experimental_local_disk_cache and --experimental_local_disk_cache_path flags into a single --disk_cache flag. Additionally, Bazel now tries to create the disk cache directory if it doesn't exist.
- Save Blaze memory by not storing LinkerInput objects in LinkCommandLine
- in the JavaInfo created by java_common.create_provider now includes both direct and transitive arguments in transitive_compile_time_jars and transitive_runtime_jars
- Allow --worker_max_instances to take MnemonicName=value to specify max for each worker.
- Allow java_toolchain.header_compiler to be an arbitrary executable
