Incompatible changes:
- (Starlark rules) The legacy "py" provider can no longer be passed to or produced by native Python rules; use PyInfo instead. See #7298 for more information.
- (Python rules) The
default_python_version
attribute of the py_binary
and py_test
rules has been renamed to python_version
. Also, the --force_python
flag has been renamed to --python_version
. See #7308 for more information.
- (Python rules) The python version now changes to whatever version is specified in a
py_binary
or py_test
's python_version
attribute, instead of being forced to the value set by a command line flag. You can temporarily revert this change with --incompatible_allow_python_version_transitions=false
. See #7307 for more information.
- --incompatible_disable_third_party_license_checking` is enabled by default
- Introduced --incompatible_use_python_toolchains, which supersedes --python_top/--python_path. See #7899 and #7375 for more information.
- Python 3 is now the default Python version (for
py_binary
and py_test
targets that don't specify the python_version
attribute). Targets that are built for Python 3 will no longer have their output put in a separate -py3
directory; instead there is now a separate -py2
directory for Python 2 targets. See #7359 and #7593 for more information.
- objc_library resource attributes are now disabled by default. Please migrate them to data instead. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7594 for more info.
- Flip --incompatible_windows_escape_jvm_flags to true. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7486
New features:
- genrules now support a $(RULEDIR) variable that resolves to the directory where the outputs of the rule are put.
- Added --incompatible_windows_native_test_wrapper flag: enables using the Bash-less test wrapper on Windows. (No-op on other platforms.)
Important changes:
- incompatible_use_jdk11_as_host_javabase: makes JDK 11 the default --host_javabase for remote jdk (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7219)
- Makes genquery somepath output deterministic.
- Tristate attributes of native rules now reject True/False (use 1/0)
- Rollback of "Tristate attributes of native rules now reject True/False (use 1/0)"
- Tristate attributes of native rules now reject True/False (use 1/0)
- Added -incompatible_do_not_split_linking_cmdline flag. See #7670
- Tristate attributes of native rules now temporarily accept True/False again
