Baseline: b93ae42e8e693ccbcc387841a17f58259966fa38
Cherry picks: + 4b80f2455e7e49a95f3a4c9102a67a57dad52207: Add option to enable Docker sandboxing. + 6b1635279e8b33dc1ac505ac81825e38f8797a14: Allow disabling the simple blob caches via CLI flag overrides.
Incompatible changes:
- Bazel now always runs binaries in with "bazel run" in interactive mode. The "--nodirect_run" command line option is now a no-op.
- "bazel run --noas_test" is not supported anymore.
- Indentation on the first line of a file was previously ignored. This is now fixed.
New features:
- C++,runfiles: to access data-dependencies (runfiles) in C++ programs, use the runfiles library built into Bazel. For usage info, see https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/tools/cpp/runfiles /runfiles.h
Important changes:
- Bazel now allows almost all 7-bit ASCII characters in labels.
- Remove vestigial java_plugin.data attribute
- Bazel supports including select Java 8 APIs into Android apps targeting pre-Nougat Android devices with --experimental_desugar_java8_libs
- Flag
--incompatible_disable_glob_tracking is removed.
- SkyQuery's rbuildfiles now returns targets corresponding to broken packages.
- Introduce build support for providing cache prefetch hints.
- Update the skylark DefaultInfo documentation to spell out runfiles, data_runfiles and default_runfiles
- An internal action for symlinking runfiles will use Command instead of a Spawns. This should have no functional chages; the only user visible consequence should be that the internal action is no longer be included in statistics when calculating processes count.
- --batch is deprecated
- execution strategies line no longer handles differently the case where all processes have the same strategy.
- The --experimental_remote_spawn_cache flag is now enabled by default, and remote caching no longer needs --*_strategy=remote flags (it will fail if they are specified).
- android_binary.aapt_version='aapt2' now supports en_XA and ar_XB
- Added --apple_enable_auto_dsym_dbg flag.
- non_propagated_deps has been removed from objc_library and apple_binary.
- For Android projects, Bazel now supports building fonts as resources. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/look-and-feel/fonts-in-xml for more information on the feature.
- With --incompatible_no_support_tools_in_action_inputs enabled, Skylark action inputs are no longer scanned for tools. Move any such inputs to the newly introduced 'tools' attribute.

Some versions of Bazel contain a bundled version of OpenJDK. The license of the bundled OpenJDK and other open-source components can be displayed by running the command bazel license. The vendor and version information of the bundled OpenJDK can be displayed by running the command bazel info java-runtime.
