Release 0.1.4 (2016-01-15)

Baseline: e933d5e
   + 3d796fe: Rollback of commit
              ac6ed79e1a3fa6b0ca91657b28e2a35f7e49758c.
   + 7a02e5d: Fix installer under OS X
   + 848740c: Fix bazel version for debian package
   + 7751d43: Add a method for getting the root of a rule workspace
              to the Label method

Important changes:

  • add loadfiles() query operator, to find skylark files loaded by targets.
  • Added ability to declare and use aspects in Skylark.
  • Skylark load statements may now reference .bzl files via build labels, in addition to paths. In particular, such labels can be used to reference Skylark files in external repositories; e.g., load("@my_external_repo//some_pkg:some_file.bzl", ...). Path-based loads are now deprecated and may be disabled in the future. Caveats: Skylark files currently do not respect package visibility; i.e., all Skylark files are effectively public. Also, loads may not reference the special //external package.
  • Relative paths can now be used for 'path' with new_local_repository and local_repository.

Release 0.1.3 (2016-01-07)

Baseline: 23ad8f6
   + de2183d: Only depend on the WORKSPACE file for external files
              that are under the external/ directory, i.e. were
              created by Bazel.
   + f8f855c: Rollback of commit
              12bad3af0eade9c4b79d76f9e1c950ad2e3214c2.
   + f627562: Stop parsing the WORKSPACE file when a parse error is
              detected
   + 763f139: Add -fno-canonical-system-headers to CROSSTOOL files so
              that gcc doesn't resolve symlinks in .d files, which
              would confuse Blaze.
   + b95995b: Use openjdk7 as dependency for debian package of jdk7
              flavor

New features:

  • Skylark macros are now enabled in WORKSPACE file.
  • .bazelrc allows workspace-relative imports as "import %workspace%/path/to/rcfile"
  • Evaluate the query expression in a file by passing --query_file= to query

Important changes:

  • Remove obsolete --objc_per_proto_includes flag.
  • iOS apps and extensions now have launch_storyboard
  • Passing multiple JVM options via a single --host_jvm_args flag is now deprecated. Pass each JVM option behind its own --host_jvm_args flag.
  • Resources defined locally on an android_library rule will respect the neverlink attribute.
  • Update Rust to 1.4
  • Fix resource handling for exported android_library rules
  • Files in external repositories are now treated as mutable, which will make the correctness guarantees of using external repositories stronger (existent), but may cause performance penalties.

Release 0.1.2 (2015-11-20)

Baseline: ee0ade3
   + 1e66ccd: RELNOTES: Symlink dirents of directories containing a
              file named
              "DONT_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS_WHEN_TRAVERSING_THIS_DIRECTORY_VIA
              _A_RECURSIVE_TARGET_PATTERN" will *not* be traversed
              for transitive target patterns. The motivation here is
              to allow directories that intentionally contain wonky
              symlinks (e.g. foo/bar -> foo) to opt out of being
              consumed by Blaze. For example, given
   + f5773fc: Set the ijar MAX_BUFFER_SIZE to 256 MB

New features:

  • java_library now supports the proguard_specs attribute for passing Proguard configuration up to Android (not Java) binaries.
  • http_file can specify "executable" to make the downloaded file runnable.
  • Debian and tar packaging is now supported (see tools/build_defs/pkg/README.md).
  • cpxx_builtin_include_directory specifications allow more flexibility.
  • accept %crosstool_top% in cxx_builtin_include_directory
  • android_binary now supports proguard_apply_mapping to re-use a previously generated proguard mapping.

Important changes:

  • remove webstatusserver (--use_webstatusserver).
  • Add support for objc textual headers, which will not be compiled when modules are enabled.
  • actoolzip, momczip and swiftstdlibtoolzip have all been made into bash scripts and have been renamed to actoolwrapper, momcwrapper and swiftstdlibtoolwrapper respectively. The old versions will be deleted in a later change.
  • [rust] Add rust_bench_test and rust_doc_test rules and improve usability of rust_test tule.
  • Java rules now support a resource_strip_prefix attribute that allows the removal of path prefixes from Java resources.
  • [docker_build] incremental loading is default now. Specify explicitly //package:target.tar (with the .tar extension) to obtain the full image.
  • --ios_signing_cert_name allows specifying a cert for iOS app signing
  • Go rules for Bazel.
  • [jsonnet] Update to Jsonnet 0.8.1.
  • [jsonnet] Add vars and code_vars attributes to jsonnet_to_json to allow passing external variables to Jsonnet via --var and --code_var.
  • Adds --override_workspace_root blaze flag to hand-set workspace_root and mainGroup in xcodeproj.
  • Allow dots in package names.
  • When used as a forwarding rule (i.e., has no sources), android_library will also forward any exported_plugins in its dependencies.
  • Add support for Windows-created zip files with non-posix permissions.
  • [jsonnet] Add jsonnet_to_json_test rule for testing Jsonnet code.
  • C++ compile actions run in a sandbox now on systems that support sandboxed execution.
  • The names of the clang compilers in the Android NDK crosstool no longer reference gcc.
  • 420 dpi is now a valid density for andoid_binary.densities.
  • Bazel does strict validation of include files now to ensure correct incremental builds. If you see compilation errors when building C++ code, please make sure that you explicitly declare all header files in the srcs or hdrs attribute of your cc_* targets and that your cc_* targets have correct "deps" on cc_library's that they use.
  • [jsonnet] Fix jsonnet_to_json rule to read code_vars from code_vars instead of vars.
  • Tests, genrules, and Skylark actions without the "requires-network" tag will no longer be able to access the network.
  • C++ libraries no longer need includes = ["."] (or similar copts) to include paths relative to a remote repository's root.
  • Support exports attribute for android_library
  • Symlink dirents of directories containing a file named "DONT_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS_WHEN_TRAVERSING_THIS_DIRECTORY_VIA_A_RECURSI VE_TARGET_PATTERN" will not be traversed for transitive target patterns. The motivation here is to allow directories that intentionally contain wonky symlinks (e.g. foo/bar -> foo) to opt out of being consumed by Blaze.

Release 0.1.1 (2015-10-05)

Baseline: 22616ae
   + 1ef338f: Rollback of "Propagates cc_library linkopts attribute
              to dependent objc_libraries.": breaks certain
              objc_binary build targets.
   + 5fb1073: Reintroduce an inconsistency check (albeit, in a weaker
              form) removed by a previous change that was trying to
              optimize away a filesystem call.
   + 6d00468b2eb976866cfb814d562e0d53a580a46f: Add IdlClass to the embedded default android tools
              repository and rearrange BuildJar's JarHelper so that
              it too can be embedded.
   + a5199039934a2e399a7201adc0d74e2f2d2b0ff3: Fixes Android integration tests by wiring up idlclass
              rules in integration environment.

Incompatible changes:

  • Bazel requires JDK 8 to run.
  • Attribute "copts" is removed from j2objc_library.

New features:

  • a cc_binary rule may list '.s' and '.asm' files in the srcs
  • Support for build with libsass.
  • labels in "linkopts" may match any label in either "deps" or "srcs" to be considered valid.
  • Maven servers that require username & password authentication are now supported (see maven_server documentation).

Important changes:

  • Support empty plist files
  • The section of the AndroidManifest.xml will not be overwritten if it already contains a tag for each of the densities specified on the android_binary rule.
  • Add Jsonnet rules to Bazel
  • Remove deprecated xcode_options flag.
  • Workspace names are now restricted to being in their base directory (that is, the names cannot contain up-level references or /./).
  • j2objc_library on Bazel now transpiles transitive proto_library dependencies. (Note that java_* rules in Bazel do not yet support protos; currently they ignore proto dependencies.)
  • new_http_archive can specify a root directory.
  • Adds support for dylibs on devices for Xcode 7.
  • [d] d_docs rules now depend on a d_binary, a d_library or d_source_library.
  • [docker] docker_build now set the permission to 0555 to files added to the layer, use mode = "0644" to use the legacy behavior.
  • android_binary now has a main_dex_proguard_specs attribute to specify which classes should be in the main dex.
  • [rust] Add rust_docs rule for generating rustdoc.

Release 0.1.0 (2015-09-08)

Baseline: a0881e8
   + 87374e6: Make android_binary use a constant, hard-coded,

   + 2984f1c: Adds some safety checks in the Bazel installer
   + 4e21d90: Remove BUILD.glob and incorporate the necessary
              filegroups into the android_{ndk,sdk}_repository rules
              themselves.
   + 1ee813e: Fix Groovy rules to work with sandboxing
   + 8741978: Add initial D rules to Bazel.
