   + 7b295d3:
     Pass through -sourcepath to the JavaBuilder
   + 14e4755:

   + ed77952:

   + 81ae08b:

   + e8d1177:

   + 869d52f:

   + d72bc57:

   + 92ecbae:
     Windows: Assist JNI builds with a target for jni_md.h.
   + 3695880:
     Add java_common.create_provider to allow creating a
     java_common.provider
   + 8c00f39:
     Improve handling of unknown NDK revisions in
     android_ndk_repository.
   + b6ea0d3:
     Add the appropriate cxx_builtin_include_directory entries for
     clang to the Android NDK crosstool created by
     android_ndk_repository.

Incompatible changes:

  - Depsets (former sets) are converted to strings as "depset(...)"
    instead of
    "set(...)".
  - Using --symlink_prefix is now applied to the output
    symlink (e.g. bazel-out) and the exec root symlink (e.g.
    bazel-workspace).
  - Bazel now uses the test's PATH for commands specified as
        --run_under; this can affect users who explicitly set PATH to
    a more
        restrictive value than the default, which is to forward the
    local PATH
  - It's not allowed anymore to compare objects of different types
    (i.e. a string to an integer) and objects for which comparison
    rules are not
    defined (i.e. a dict to another dict) using order operators.

New features:

  - environ parameter to the repository_rule function let
    defines a list of environment variables for which a change of
    value
    will trigger a repository refetching.

Important changes:

  - android_ndk_repository now supports Android NDK R13.
  - Android resource shrinking is now available for android_binary
    rules. To enable, set the attribute 'shrink_resources = 1'. See
    https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/be/android.html#android_b
    inary.shrink_resources.
  - resolve_command/action's input_manifest return/parameter is now
    list
  - For increased compatibility with environments where UTS
    namespaces are not available, the Linux sandbox no longer hides
    the hostname of the local machine by default. Use
    --sandbox_fake_hostname to re-enable this feature.
  - proto_library: alias libraries produce empty files for descriptor
    sets.
  - Adds pkg_rpm rule for generating RPM packages.
  - Allow CROSSTOOL files to have linker flags specific to static
    shared libraries.
  - Make it mandatory for Java test suites in bazel codebase, to
    contain at least one test.
  - Support for Java 8 lambdas, method references, type annotations
    and repeated annotations in Android builds with
    --experimental_desugar_for_android.
  - Removed .xcodeproj automatic output from objc rules. It can still
    be generated by requesting it explicitly on the command line.
  - Flips --explicit_jre_deps flag on by default.
  - Activate the "dbg", "fastbuild", and "opt" features in the objc
    CROSSTOOL.
  - Remove support for configuring JDKs with filegroups; use
    java_runtime and java_runtime_suite instead
  - android_ndk_repository api_level attribute is now optional. If not
    specified, the highest api level in the ndk/platforms directory
    is used.
