Incompatible changes:

  - --incompatible_disable_objc_provider_resources no longer has
    effect. Use of deprecated resource fields on the Objc provider is
    now disallowed regardless of this flag.
  - deleted deprecated --experimental-remote-retry* flags, please use
    --remote_retries instead
  - flipped --incompatible_list_based_execution_strategy_selection
    flag to be true by default. See
    bazelbuild#7480 for details.
  - Octal integer literals in Starlark are required to start with
    "Oo".
  - The "native" module is no longer available in BUILD files, all
    its members can be accessed directly as global symbols. This can
    be temporarily reverted by providing
    --incompatible_disallow_native_in_build_file=false as a flag to
    Blaze.
  - The "native" module is no longer available in BUILD files, all
    its members can be accessed directly as global symbols. This can
    be temporarily reverted by providing
    --incompatible_disallow_native_in_build_file=false as a flag to
    Blaze.
  - Turn off binary style profile format.

    its members can be accessed directly as global symbols. This can
    be temporarily reverted by providing
    --incompatible_disallow_native_in_build_f...
  - cleanup that affects user provided apple frameworks is
    now enabled by default.  See
    bazelbuild#7944 for more info.
  - Python rules now determine the Python runtime using toolchains
    rather than `--python_top` and `--python_path`, which are
    deprecated. See
    [bazelbuild#7899](bazelbuild#7899) for
    information on declaring Python toolchains and migrating your
    code. As a side-benefit, this addresses
    [bazelbuild#4815](bazelbuild#4815)
    (incorrect interpreter version used) on non-Windows platforms.
    Note however that some builds break due to getting the version
    they asked for -- consider setting `python_version = "PY2"` on
    Python 2 targets and `--host_force_python=PY2` if any Python 2
    targets are used in the host configuration. You can temporarily
    opt out of this change with
    `--incompatible_use_python_toolchains=false`.
  - Depsets can't be iterated over unless they're converted to lists
    using the .to_list() method. Use
    --incompatible_depset_is_not_iterable=false to
    temporarily restore the previous behaviour.

New features:

  - Bash, runfiles: the copy-pasted init code of the Bash runfiles
    library is now shorter, see `tools/bash/runfiles/runfiles.bash`.
    The rlocation() implementation is the same.
  - Bash, runfiles: the copy-pasted init code of the Bash runfiles
    library is now shorter, see `tools/bash/runfiles/runfiles.bash`.
    The rlocation() implementation is the same.
  - Bash, runfiles: the copy-pasted init code of the Bash runfiles
    library is now shorter, see `tools/bash/runfiles/runfiles.bash`.
    To use the new init code, you need Bazel 0.27 or newer. The old
    (longer) init code still works.

Important changes:

  - The `outputs` parameter of the `rule()` function is deprecated
    and attached to flag `--incompatible_no_rule_outputs_param`.
    Migrate rules to use `OutputGroupInfo` or `attr.output` instead.
    See bazelbuild#7977 for more info.
  - The --incompatible_disable_objc_library_resources flag is being
    removed. Please remove it from your configs as it otherwise will
    fail the build.
  - Add a generic additional_linker_inputs attribute on cc_binary
    rules.
  - Windows, C++ autoconfigure: BAZEL_VC and BAZEL_VS may now have
    quotes, so if you set these envvars' values in cmd.exe via
    TAB-completion then you no longer need to remove the surrounding
    quotes.
  - pkg_deb has new attributes: `config` and `templates` that can be
    used for integration with debconf
  - Allow cc_import() of a DLL with no interface library on Windows,
    used to document runtime dependencies.
  - All host-configured Python tools that are built for the wrong
    Python version will now emit a warning message when they exit
    with non-zero status. See bazelbuild#7899.
  - deprecated --remote_local_fallback_strategy. Use
    `--strategy=remote,local` instead. See
    bazelbuild#7480.
  - Introduce --incompatible_disable_native_android_rules flag
  - The Android desugaring actions now support a persistent worker
    mode for faster local build performance. Enable it with
    `--strategy=Desugar=worker`.
  - --incompatible_static_name_resolution_in_build_files is now
    enabled by default
  - --incompatible_disable_deprecated_attr_params is now enabled by
    default (bazelbuild#5818)
  - Repository containing autoconfigured C++ toolchain
    `@local_config_cc` has been split in 2 - see
    `local_config_cc_toolchains`.
  - --incompatible_string_join_requires_strings is now enabled by
    default
  - Flag --incompatible_new_actions_api is enabled by dewfault (bazelbuild#5825)
  - New flag `--incompatible_disallow_empty_glob`. See
    bazelbuild#8195
  - --incompatible_no_kwargs_in_build_files is enabled by default
  - Incompatible flag
    `--incompatible_require_ctx_in_configure_features` has been
    flipped. See bazelbuild#7793 for
    more information.
  - `BAZEL_USE_XCODE_TOOLCHAIN=1` tells Bazel not to look for Xcode to
    decide whether to enable toolchains for Apple rules, but to
    assume Xcode is
    available. Can be also used when building on Darwin and no C++ or
    ObjC is being
    built, so there is no need to detect Xcode.
  - Android desugaring actions now use persistent workers by default.
    This has been measured to provide up to 20% reduction in build
    times. To disable it, use the `--strategy=Desugar=sandboxed`
    flag. See bazelbuild#8342 and
    bazelbuild#8427 for more details
    on local build speed optimization for Android apps.
  - Fixed an issue with Android builds where `--fat_apk_cpu` doesn't
    pack all selected shared libraries from `aar_import` targets into
    the APK. See
    [bazelbuild#8283](bazelbuild#8283).
  - Turn on --experimental_starlark_config_transitions by default for
    starlark transitions (see
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/config.html#user-
    defined-transitions for more info)
  - Turn on --experimental_build_setting_api by default for starlark
    build settings (see
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/config.html#user-
    defined-build-settings for more info)
  - Incompatible flag
    `--incompatible_dont_enable_host_nonhost_crosstool_features` has
    been flipped. See bazelbuild#7407
    for more information.
  - Added support for Android NDK 19 and 20.
  - Flip --incompatible_no_support_tools_in_action_inputs
  - --remote_executor, --remote_cache or --bes_backend=someurl.com
    would be treated as grpcs://someurl.com, if the
    --incompatible_tls_enabled_removed flag enabled. See
    bazelbuild#8061 for details.
  - Add new options --cs_fdo_absolute_path= to support the absolute
    path
    profile for LLVM's context-sensitive FDO.
  - When `--incompatible_strict_action_env` is enabled, the default
    `PATH` now includes `/usr/local/bin`.
  - Turn on --experimental_build_setting_api by default for starlark
    build settings (see
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/config.html#user-
    defined-build-settings for more info)

   + 35dd05a:
     Allow Starlark rules to be able to use the `exec_compatible_with`

Incompatible changes:

  - Flip --incompatible_windows_escape_jvm_flags to true. See
    bazelbuild#7486
  - Flip --incompatible_windows_style_arg_escaping to true.  See
    bazelbuild#7454
  - --incompatible_windows_escape_jvm_flags is enabled by default,
    and the flag no longer exists
  - `--incompatible_no_output_attr_default` is enabled by default.
  - --incompatible_depset_union is enabled by default.
  - Python rules now determine the Python runtime using toolchains
    rather than `--python_top` and `--python_path`, which are
    deprecated. See
    [bazelbuild#7899](bazelbuild#7899) for
    information on declaring Python toolchains and migrating your
    code. As a side-benefit, this addresses bazelbuild#4815 (incorrect
    interpreter version used) on non-Windows platforms. You can
    temporarily opt out of this change with
    `--incompatible_use_python_toolchains=false`.

    addresses bazelbuild#4815 (incorrect interpreter version used) on
    non-Windows platforms. You can temporarily opt out of this change
    with `--incompatible_use_python_toolchains=false`.

New features:

  - Windows, Python: the --incompatible_windows_escape_python_args
    flag (false by default) builds py_binary and py_test targets with
    correct command line argument escaping.
  - cquery supports --output=build

Important changes:

  - Allow debugging C++ features logic.
  - The --ios_multi_cpus, --watchos_cpus, --macos_cpus and tvos_cpus
    are now additive. This means that you can now split the
    --ios_multi_cpus=arm64,armv7 into --ios_multi_cpus=arm64 and
    --ios_multi_cpus=armv7.
  - Generated Go protobufs now depend on
    //net/proto2/go:proto_gendeps instead of //net/proto2/go:proto
  - Add new options --cs_fdo_instrument and --cs_profile to support
    LLVM's context-sensitive FDO (CSFDO).
  - Bazel C++ compile/link Starlark API. Can be used with
    experimental flag
    --experimental_cc_skylark_api_enabled_packages=<package_path>,<pac
    kage_path2>.
  - `cc_toolchain.static_runtime_lib` and
    `cc_toolchain.dynamic_runtime_lib` are now exposed to Starlark.
  - New flag `--incompatible_no_kwargs_in_build_files`. See
    bazelbuild#8021
  - struct.to_proto() converts dict into proto3 text message (map<,>).
  - Android resource conflicts will no longer be reported between a
    strong attr resource and a weak attr resource, if the weak attr
    does not have format specified.
  - Flag `--incompatible_static_name_resolution_in_build_files` is
    added. See bazelbuild#8022
  - Add --incompatible_objc_framework_cleanup to control whether to
    enable some objc framework cleanup that changes the API.
    Specifically, the cleanup changes the objc provider API
    pertaining to frameworks.  This change is expected to be
    transparent to most users unless they write their own Starlark
    rules to handle frameworks.  See
    bazelbuild#7594 for details.
  - Added --incompatible_remove_binary_profile to disable the old
    binary
    profiles. Instead use the JSON profile format:
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/performance.html#
    json-profile
  - Introducing --execution_log_binary_file and
    --execution_log_json_file that output a stable sorted execution
    log. They will offer a stable replacement to
    --experimental_execution_log_file.
  - Flag `--incompatible_disallow_old_octal_notation` is added. See
    //github.com/bazelbuild/issues/8059
  - Removes the
    --incompatible_disable_genrule_cc_toolchain_dependency flag.
  - Android resource conflicts will no longer be reported between a
    strong attr resource and a weak attr resource, if the weak attr
    does not have format specified.
  - Incompatible flag
    `--incompatible_make_thinlto_command_lines_standalone` has been
    added. See bazelbuild#6791 for
    details.
  - objc_library does not support resource attributes any more.
    Please read bazelbuild#7594 for more info.
  - The `outputs` parameter of the `rule()` function is deprecated
    and attached to flag `--incompatible_no_rule_outputs_param`.
    Migrate rules to use `OutputGroupInfo` or `attr.output` instead.
    See bazelbuild#7977 for more info.
  - New platform_mappings ability to allow gradual flag to
    platforms/toolchains migration. See also
    bazelbuild#6426
  - Added support for compiling against fully qualified R classes
    from aar_import dependencies.
  - --tls_enabled flag is deprecated. Please provide 'grpcs' as a
    scheme in the URLs if TLS should be used for a remote connection.
  - Adds
    incompatible_disallow_rule_execution_platform_constraints_allowed,
     which
    disallows the use of the "execution_platform_constraints_allowed"
    attribute when defining new rules.
  - Flag `--incompatible_restrict_named_params` is added. See
    bazelbuild#8147 for details.
  - The glob function has a new argument `allow_empty`. When set to
    False, the glob fails when it doesn't match anything.
  - Adds the "disable_whole_archive_for_static_lib" feature to allow
    turning off legacy_whole_archive for individual targets.
  - C++ Starlark API for compilation and linking is no longer
    whitelisted
  - Update visibility advice in build-style
  - --incompatible_disable_objc_provider_resources is now enabled by
    default.
  - Fixed an issue where some `py_runtime`s were incompatible with
    using `--build_python_zip` (bazelbuild#5104).
  - The `outputs` parameter of the `rule()` function is deprecated
    and attached to flag `--incompatible_no_rule_outputs_param`.
    Migrate rules to use `OutputGroupInfo` or `attr.output` instead.
    See bazelbuild#7977 for more info.

Incompatible changes:

  - (Starlark rules) The legacy "py" provider can no longer be passed
    to or produced by native Python rules; use
    [PyInfo](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/lib/PyIn
    fo.html) instead. See
    [bazelbuild#7298](bazelbuild#7298) for more
    information.
  - (Python rules) The `default_python_version` attribute of the
    `py_binary` and `py_test` rules has been renamed to
    `python_version`. Also, the `--force_python` flag has been
    renamed to `--python_version`. See
    [bazelbuild#7308](bazelbuild#7308) for more
    information.
  - (Python rules) The python version now changes to whatever version
    is specified in a `py_binary` or `py_test`'s `python_version`
    attribute, instead of being forced to the value set by a command
    line flag. You can temporarily revert this change with
    `--incompatible_allow_python_version_transitions=false`. See
    [bazelbuild#7307](bazelbuild#7307) for more
    information.
  - --incompatible_disable_third_party_license_checking` is enabled
    by default
  - Introduced --incompatible_use_python_toolchains, which supersedes
    --python_top/--python_path. See bazelbuild#7899 and bazelbuild#7375 for more
    information.
  - Python 3 is now the default Python version (for `py_binary` and
    `py_test` targets that don't specify the `python_version`
    attribute). Targets that are built for Python 3 will no longer
    have their output put in a separate `-py3` directory; instead
    there is now a separate `-py2` directory for Python 2 targets.
    See bazelbuild#7359 and bazelbuild#7593 for more information.
  - objc_library resource attributes are now disabled by default.
    Please migrate them to data instead. See
    bazelbuild#7594 for more info.
  - Flip --incompatible_windows_escape_jvm_flags to true. See
    bazelbuild#7486

New features:

  - genrules now support a $(RULEDIR) variable that resolves to the
    directory where the outputs of the rule are put.
  - Added --incompatible_windows_native_test_wrapper flag: enables
    using the Bash-less test wrapper on Windows. (No-op on other
    platforms.)

Important changes:

  - incompatible_use_jdk11_as_host_javabase: makes JDK 11 the default
    --host_javabase for remote jdk
    (bazelbuild#7219)
  - Makes genquery somepath output deterministic.
  - Tristate attributes of native rules now reject True/False (use
    1/0)
  - Rollback of "Tristate attributes of native rules now reject
    True/False (use 1/0)"
  - Tristate attributes of native rules now reject True/False (use
    1/0)
  - Added -incompatible_do_not_split_linking_cmdline flag. See bazelbuild#7670
  - Tristate attributes of native rules now temporarily accept
    True/False again
  - `--incompatible_disable_legacy_crosstool_fields` has been flipped
    (bazelbuild#6861)
    `--incompatible_disable_expand_if_all_available_in_flag_set` has
    been flipped (bazelbuild#7008)
  - `--incompatible_disable_legacy_crosstool_fields` has been flipped
    (bazelbuild#6861)
    `--incompatible_disable_expand_if_all_available_in_flag_set...
    RELNOTES: None.
  - --incompatible_no_transitive_loads is enabled by default.
  - Makes TreeArtifact deterministic.
  - --incompatible_no_transitive_loads is enabled by default.
  - Android NDK C++ toolchain is now configured in Starlark. This
    should be a backwards compatible change, but in case of bugs
    blame unknown commit.
  - `--incompatible_disable_legacy_crosstool_fields` has been flipped
    (bazelbuild#6861)
    `--incompatible_disable_expand_if_all_available_in_flag_set` has

  - --incompatible_no_transitive_loads is enabled by default.
  - --incompatible_bzl_disallow_load_after_statement is enabled
  - Added `--incompatible_require_ctx_in_configure_features`, see
    bazelbuild#7793 for details.
  - Flag --incompatible_merge_genfiles_directory is flipped. This
    removes the directory `bazel-genfiles` in favor of `bazel-bin`.
  - previously deprecated flag --experimental_remote_spawn_cache was
    removed
  - `--incompatible_disallow_load_labels_to_cross_package_boundaries`
    is enabled by default
  - Fix an issue where the Android resource processor did not surface

    only string elements.
  - --incompatible_symlinked_sandbox_expands_tree_artifacts_in_runfile
    s_tree has been flipped
  - Incompatible flag `--incompatible_disable_legacy_cc_provider` has
    been flipped (see bazelbuild#7036
    for details).
  - Don't drop the analysis cache when the same --define flag is set
    multiple times and the last value is the same (e.g. if the
    current invocation was run with "--define foo=bar" and the
    previous one was run with "--define foo=baz --define foo=bar").
  - The --incompatible_disable_genrule_cc_toolchain_dependency flag
    has been flipped (see
    bazelbuild#6867 for details).
  - Incompatible change
    `--incompatible_remove_cpu_and_compiler_attributes_from_cc_toolcha
    in` has been flipped (see
    bazelbuild#7075 for details).
  - --noexperimental_java_coverage is a no-op flag.
  - --experimental_java_coverage/--incompatible_java_coverage flag was
    removed. See bazelbuild#7425.
  - incompatible_use_toolchain_providers_in_java_common: pass
    JavaToolchainInfo and JavaRuntimeInfo providers to java_common
    APIs instead of configured targets
    (bazelbuild#7186.)
  - --incompatible_remote_symlinks has been flipped. The remote
    caching and execution protocol will now represent symlinks in
    outputs as such. See
    bazelbuild#7917 for more details.
  - Bazel is now ~20MiB smaller, from unbundling the Android rules'
    runtime dependencies.

   + 803801d:
     Pass execution info to xml generating spawn. Fixes bazelbuild#7794

Incompatible changes:

  - Added --incompatible_py3_is_default to test switching the default
    Python version to PY3 for py_binary/py_test targets that do not
    specify a version. See bazelbuild#7359.
  - //tools/cmd_line_differ has been renamed to //tools/aquery_differ
    & can now compare (in addition to command lines) inputs of
    actions given 2 aquery results.
  - java_(mutable_|)proto_library: removed strict_deps attribute.
  - The flag --incompatible_list_based_execution_strategy_selection
    was added and is used to ease the migration to the new style of
    specifying
    execution strategy selection and fallback behavior. The
    documentation for
    this flag is here: bazelbuild#7480
  - Added --incompatible_py2_outputs_are_suffixed, for switching the
    bazel-bin symlink to point to Python 3 outputs instead of Python
    2 outputs. See
    [bazelbuild#7593](bazelbuild#7593).

New features:

  - Make actions.args() object chainable.
  - Added --incompatible_windows_style_arg_escaping flag: enables
    correct subprocess argument escaping on Windows. (No-op on other
    platforms.)
  - Added --incompatible_windows_escape_jvm_flags flag: enables
    correct java_binary.jvm_flags and java_test.jvm_flags
    tokenization and escaping on Windows. (No-op on other platforms.)

Important changes:

  - Allow running aquery against the current state of Skyframe
  - Added support for the "navigation" resource directory to Android
    resource processing in Bazel. This is used by the Navigation
    Architecture Component.
  - --incompatible_disable_runtimes_filegroups was flipped
    (bazelbuild#6942)
  - Incompatible flag `--incompatible_linkopts_in_user_link_flags`
    has been flipped (bazelbuild#6826)
  - Incompatible flag `--incompatible_dont_emit_static_libgcc` has
    been flipped (bazelbuild#6825)
  - --incompatible_disallow_filetype is enabled by default.
  - Fixed issue where exceptions and stacktraces were silently
    swallowed in the Android resource processing pipeline.
  - `--incompatible_disable_expand_if_all_available_in_flag_set` has
    been flipped (bazelbuild#7008)
  - --incompatible_disallow_dict_plus is enabled by default
  - Adds --incompatible_disable_objc_library_resources to disable
    resource attributes in objc_library. Please migrate these
    attributes to `data` instead.
  - --incompatible_disallow_old_style_args_add is enabled by default.
  - Using the `native` module in BUILD files is deprecated. It will
    be forbidden with --incompatible_disallow_native_in_build_file.
  - (Python rules) PyRuntimeInfo is exposed to Starlark, making it
    possible for Starlark rules to depend on or imitate `py_runtime`.
    The `files` attribute of `py_runtime` is no longer mandatory.
  - incompatible_use_toolchain_providers_in_java_common: pass
    JavaToolchainInfo and JavaRuntimeInfo providers to java_common
    APIs instead of configured
    targetshttps://github.com/bazelbuild/issues/7186.
  - is_using_fission crosstool variable is now exposed in all compile
    actions when fission is active (it used to be exposed only for
    linking actions).
  - incompatible_use_toolchain_providers_in_java_common: pass
    JavaToolchainInfo and JavaRuntimeInfo providers to java_common
    APIs instead of configured
    targetshttps://github.com/bazelbuild/issues/7186.
  - `py_runtime` gains a `python_version` attribute for specifying
    whether it represents a Python 2 or 3 interpreter.
  - `--incompatible_java_coverage` is enabled by default.
  - Starlark rules can safely declare attributes named "licenses"
  - When using
    --incompatible_list_based_execution_strategy_selection, Bazel
    will use remote execution by default (if you specify
    --remote_executor), otherwise persistent workers (if the action
    supports it), otherwise sandboxed local execution (if the action
    and platform supports it) and at last unsandboxed local
    execution. The flags --spawn_strategy and --strategy continue to
    work as before - this only sets new defaults for the case where
    you don't specify these flags.
  - Set default value of --incompatible_remap_main_repo to true.
  - Set default value of --incompatible_remap_main_repo to true.
