Incompatible changes:

• Bazel no longer increases the delay between progress updates when there is no cursor control.
• --incompatible_always_include_files_in_data is flipped to true. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16654 for details.

• cquery --output=files also outputs source files.

  Closes #16602.
• --incompatible_strict_conflict_checks is flipped to true. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16729 for details.
• This changes the behavior of Python version in exec/host configuration. Mitigation is to set Python version on the targets.

• --features only applies to targets built in the target configuration, and --host_features is used for the host / exec configuration (gated behind --incompatible_use_host_features)

  Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13839

  Closes #16626.

New features:

• The aquery and cquery commands now respect the --query_file flag just like the query command.

Important changes:

• The new path variable $(rlocationpath ...) and its plural form $(rlocationpaths ...) can be used to expand labels to the paths accepted by the Rlocation function of runfiles libraries. This is the preferred way to access data dependencies at runtime and works on all platforms, even when runfiles are not enabled (e.g., on Windows by default).

  Work towards #16124 Fixes #10923

  Closes #16428.
• Starlark print() statements are now emitted iff the line of code is executed. They are no longer replayed on subsequent invocations unless the Starlark code is re-executed. Additionally, multiple identical print() statements (same string from the same line of code, e.g. from a loop) are all emitted and no longer deduplicated.
• Fixes a bug where some compilation flags would not be applied to a cc_test
• Added a native.package_relative_label() function, which converts a label string to a Label object in the context of the calling package, in contrast to Label(), which does so in the context of the current .bzl file. Both functions now also accept relative labels such as :foo, and are idempotent.
• Adds coverage metric support to android_local_test
• Fixed an issue where WORKSPACE and WORKSPACE-loaded .bzl files couldn't see the Bzlmod root module's mappings when Bzlmod is enabled.
• Added native.module_name() and native.module_version() to allow BUILD macro authors to acquire information about which Bazel module the current repo is associated with.
• @foo labels can now be used on the command line as the top-level target (that is, bazel build @foo now works). Double-dot syntax is now forbidden (bazel build ../foo will no longer work).
• Added preliminary support for a lockfile for Bzlmod. It's disabled by default; use --lockfile_mode=update to enable it. This lockfile contains only Bazel module information; it does not involve module extensions.

• Added a new max_compatibility_level attribute to the bazel_dep directive, which allows version selection to upgrade a dependency up to the specified compatibility level.

• --experimental_remote_grpc_log has been renamed to --remote_grpc_log
