Release 3.7.0rc1 (2020-10-06)
Baseline: a991db7c2f66a354666388d888dcef9b0d0f70c0
Incompatible changes:
- The syntax //foo/BUILD can no longer be used on the command line to refer to the //foo:BUILD target. Use //foo:BUILD (preferred) or foo/BUILD instead. This does not affect BUILD/bzl files, where that syntax already didn't work.
- This removes
--objc_header_scanner_tool. The flag was primarily used internally, and to our knowledge, a compatible tool was never released. Therefore this flag is believed to be unused.
New features:
- select() directly supports constraint_value (no need for an intermediate config_setting).
Important changes:
- Non-android targets can again be built when android_sdk_repository is present but invalid.
- Add a build variable for -install_name / -soname.
- Add a build variable for -install_name / -soname.
- Include "resources" attr in dependency attributes for java_* coverage configuration.
- --trim_test_configuration should work for almost all cases when a non-test target depends on a test.
- Javac now supports multiplex workers.

- Blaze now allows symbolic links that point to their own ancestor unless they are traversed recursively by e.g. a //... recursive target pattern or a recursive glob.
