- 03964c8ccb20d673add76c7f37245e837c3899b6:
[java_common.compile] Name output source jar relative to the
output jar name
Incompatible changes:
- The flag --incompatible_disallow_set_constructor is no longer
available, the deprecated
set
constructor is not available
anymore.
- The path to the JVM executable is not accessible anymore as
ctx.{fragments,host_fragments}.jvm.java_executable. Use
JavaRuntimeInfo.java_executable_exec_path instead.
- --clean_style is no longer an option.
New features:
- Users can use win_def_file attribute to specify a DEF file for
exporting symbols when build a shared library on Windows.
- Add --experimental_android_resource_cycle_shrinking option to
allow for more aggressive code and resource shrinking.
Important changes:
- Late-bound attributes are exposed to skylark. This is a new API
(
configuration\_field()
) to depend on certain
configuration-defined targets from skylark rules.
- Document interaction between test_suite and target exclusions
- AAR manifest files will come from the processed resource APK if it
exists.
- Document interaction between test_suite and target exclusions
- --keep_incrementality_data flag allows Bazel servers to be run in
memory-saving non-incremental mode independent of --batch and
--discard_analysis_cache.
- Add deps attribute to Skylark maven_aar and maven_jar workspace
rules.
- Use --expand_configs_in_place as a startup argument to change the
order in which --config expansions are interpreted.
- SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
(https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/) can
be used to override the timestamp used for stamped target (when
using --stamp).
- Package specifications can now be prefixed with
-
to indicate
negation
- transitive_source_jars is now exposed on JavaInfo.
- Debug messages generated by
print()
are not being filtered out
by --output_filter anymore, it's recommended not to use them in
production code.
- in the Label() function, relative_to_caller_repository is now
deprecated.
- Bazel's default hash function was changed from MD5 to SHA256.
In particular, this affects users of remote caching and
execution, as
all hashes will be SHA256 by default.
- Remove redirects for domains be.bazel.build and cr.bazel.build
from the source for docs.bazel.build (because those subdomains
don't resolve here; they resolve to bazel.build, which has the
redirects for them)
- First argument of 'load' must be a label. Path syntax is removed.
(label should start with '//' or ':').
- Document startup option --host_javabase
- The --host_platform and --platform flags are no longer
experimental.
_Notice_: Bazel installers contain binaries licensed under the GPLv2 with
Classpath exception. Those installers should always be redistributed along with
the source code.
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
.
The binaries and source-code of the bundled OpenJDK can be
downloaded from our mirror server.
_Security_: All our binaries are signed with our
public key 48457EE0.
