Release 6.3.0rc2 (2023-07-20)
Baseline: 758b44dab552f31b378874b5bf4c0609bfef6f5d
Release Notes:
- Automatic code cleanup. (#18417)
- Update CODEOWNERS for 6.3.0 (#18369)
- Overrides specified by non-root modules no longer cause an error, and are silently ignored instead. They were originally treated as an error to allow for the future possibility of overrides in the transitive dependency graph working together; but we’ve deemed that infeasible (and even if it was, it’d be so complicated and confusing to users that it would not be a good addition). (#18388)
- Add implementation deps support for Objective-C (#18372)
- Prevent CredentialHelperEnvironment crash when invoking Bazel outside of a workspace. (#18430)

- Options specified on the pseudo-command
common in .rc files are now ignored by commands that do not support them as long as they are valid options for any Bazel command.
