Release 4.0.0 (2021-01-21)
Baseline: 37a429ad12b4c9e6a62dbae4881a1ff03b81ab40
Cherry picks:
- a689d673abadf80f1efaf8ddaeee92d56fc2847b: Use getRunfilesPath for run_under executable path generation. getRootRelativePath doesn't return a valid runfiles path for external source files anymore after the recent external source root change. Also, it won't work for external labels either once the --nolegacy_external_runfiles becomes default. This fixes issue #12545.

New features:
- Starlark-defined flags can now be shorthanded using --flag_alias.
Important changes:
- Add --starlark:file option. This adds a capability to the (cquery)[https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/cquery.html] feature in
--output=starlark mode so that the expression to format output may be specified in a file.
- Error messages emitted when an action fails are reworked to be more informative about the failing action. Some tooling may have to be updated as a result.
- Querying with output=location now allows the relative_locations flag to properly display relative locations instead of the full path. Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/3497.
- --flag_alias can now be used without --experimental_enable_flag_alias
- Remove no-op
--deep_execroot flag
- The BEP uses
AbortReason.OUT_OF_MEMORY for abort events when the build tool is crashing due to OOM.
- Added flag
incompatible_display_source_file_location for blaze query location=output to print the location of line 1 of the actual source files instead of the source file targets. Provides a solution to https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8900.
- The Starlark json module is now available. Use json.encode(x) to encode a Starlark value as JSON. struct.to_json(x) is deprecated and will be disabled by the --incompatible_struct_has_no_methods flag.
- The flag
--incompatible_objc_compile_info_migration is enabled by default. See #10854.
- The flag
--incompatible_objc_provider_remove_compile_info is enabled by default. See #11359.
- Add
relative_ast_path feature for darwin builds to relativize swiftmodule paths for debugging
- Use proto.encode_text(x) to encode a Starlark value as textproto. struct.to_proto() is deprecated and will be disabled by the --incompatible_struct_has_no_methods flag. Both functions now reject list/dict fields that contain list/dict elements.
- Add --starlark:file option. This adds a capability to the (cquery)[https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/cquery.html] feature in
--output=starlark mode so that the expression to format output may be specified in a file. See Configured Query Starlark Output
- Flipped --incompatble_proto_output_v2 for aquery.
- The --incompatible_load_java_rules_from_bzl flag is now a no-op.
- The --incompatible_load_proto_rules_from_bzl flag is now a no-op.
- Flipped --incompatible_force_strict_header_check_from_starlark
- --incompatible_string_replace_count is flipped and removed (#11244)
- Bazel skips incompatible targets based on target platform and
target_compatible_with contents. See https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/platforms.html for more details.
- Bazel returns exit code 36 (rather than 1) if it fails to start a subprocess in a local sandbox due to environmental issues, for example, if the argument list is too long.
- //tools/build_defs/pkg:pkg_rpm is no longer built in to Bazel. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/11218 for instructions on how to migrate to the replacement.
- Javac now supports multiplex workers.
- The
--default_ios_provisioning_profile flag has been removed (it was a no-op).
- Add support for using AndroidX dependencies in data-binding-enabled targets.
- Fix data-binding generation for android_local_test.
- Enable debug_prefix_map_pwd_is_dot feature by default on macOS, this passes
-fdebug-prefix-map=$PWD=. for every compile to remove absolute paths from debug info.
- --incompatible_run_shell_command_string is enabled by default (#5903)
- py_binary now tolerates package paths that contain hyphens ('-'). Note that such paths might not be importable from within Python code.
- C++ Starlark API requires linker_inputs wrapping library_to_link. #10860
- Toolchain rule is extended with target_settings attribute.
- --incompatible_restrict_string_escapes=true is now the default. Unnecessary backslashes such as "." in string literals are now an error, instead of being silently treated as "\.". To fix the error while preserving behavior, double the backlash. However, the error is often a sign that the original code was wrong.
- Propagate instrumented files for transitive sources of
android_library and android_binary
- --local_resources and --incompatible_remove_local_resources have been removed. If you've been setting --local resources or --incompatible_remove_local_resources=false, you must migrate to using --local_ram_resources and --local_cpu_resources instead.
- Update rules_cc to commit b1c40e1de81913a3c40e5948f78719c28152486d
- --incompatible_avoid_conflict_dlls=true is now the default.
- Dynamic execution now uses the new scheduler by default.
- Dynamic execution now uses the new scheduler by default.
- The new dynamic scheduler is now the default.
