Incompatible changes:

  • Loading @bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:git_repositories.bzl
    no longer works. Load @bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:git.bzl
    instead.
  • If the same artifact is generated by two distinct but identical
    actions, and a downstream action has both those actions' outputs
    in its inputs, the artifact will now appear twice in the
    downstream action's inputs. If this causes problems in Skylark
    actions, you can use the uniquify=True argument in Args.add_args.
  • If the same artifact is generated by two distinct but identical
    actions, and a downstream action has both those actions' outputs
    in its inputs, the artifact will now appear twice in the
    downstream action's inputs. If this causes problems in Skylark
    actions, you can use the uniquify=True argument in Args.add_args.
  • Labels in C++ rules' linkopts attribute are not expanded anymore
    unless they are wrapped, e.g: $(location //foo:bar)
  • If the same artifact is generated by two distinct but identical
    actions, and a downstream action has both those actions' outputs
    in its inputs, the artifact will now appear twice in the
    downstream action's inputs. If this causes problems in Skylark
    actions, you can use the uniquify=True argument in Args.add_args.
  • New bazelrc file list.
  • Windows: when BAZEL_SH envvar is not defined and Bazel searches
    for a suitable bash.exe, Bazel will no longer look for Git Bash
    and no longer recommend installing it as a Bash implementation.
    See issue #5751.
  • New bazelrc file list.

New features:

  • The aquery command now supports --output=text.
  • Java, runfiles: the Java runfiles library is now in
    @bazel_tools//tools/java/runfiles. The old target
    (@bazel_tools//tools/runfiles:java-runfiles) is deprecated and
    will be removed in Bazel 0.18.0.
  • Java, runfiles: the Java runfiles library is now in
    @bazel_tools//tools/java/runfiles. The old target
    (@bazel_tools//tools/runfiles:java-runfiles) is deprecated and
    will be removed in Bazel 0.19.0 (not 0.18.0, as stated earlier).

Important changes:

  • Allow @ in package names.
  • Remove support for java_runtime_suite; use alias() together with
    select() instead.
  • Python wrapper scripts for MSVC are removed.
  • [JavaInfo] Outputs are merged in java_common.merge().
  • Faster analysis by improved parallelization.
  • --experimental_shortened_obj_file_path is removed.
  • Introduce the --remote_cache_proxy flag,
    which allows for remote http caching to connect
    via a unix domain socket.
  • No longer define G3_VERSION_INFO for c++ linkstamp compiles, as
    it was a duplicate of G3_TARGET_NAME.
  • Added support for Android NDK r17. The default STL is now
    libc++, and support for targeting mips, mips64 and ARMv5
    (armeabi) has been removed.
  • Add aquery command to get analysis time information about the
    action graph.
  • Fixed compatibility with aar_import when using aapt2. AAPT2 is
    now supported for Android app builds without resource shrinking.
    To use it, pass the --android_aapt=aapt2 flag or define
    android_binary.aapt_version=aapt2.
  • Code coverage is collected for Java binaries invoked from sh_test.
  • java_common.compile creates the native headers jar accesible via
    JavaInfo.outputs.native_headers.
  • Deleting deprecated no-op flag --show_package_location
  • The JDK shipped with Bazel was updated to JDK10.
  • Rename the startup flag --host_javabase to --server_javabase to
    avoid confusion with the build flag --host_javabase
  • newly added options --experimental_repository_hash_file and
    --experimental_verify_repository_rules allow to verify for
    repositories
    the directory generated against pre-recorded hashes. See
    documentation
    for those options.
  • Removed the gen_jars output group
  • --subcommands can now take a "pretty_print" value
    ("--subcommands=pretty_print") to print the
    arguments of subcommands as a list for easier reading.
  • follow-up to
    1ac359743176e659e9c7472
    645e3142f3c44b9e8
  • A rule error is now thrown if a Skylark rule implementation
    function returns multiple providers of the same type.
  • When using Bazel's remote execution feature and Bazel has to
    fallback to local execution for an action, Bazel used
    non-sandboxed
    local execution until now. From this release on, you can use the
    new
    flag --remote_local_fallback_strategy= to tell Bazel
    which
    strategy to use in that case.
  • Execution Log Parser can now, when printing it out, filter the
    log by runner type
  • A rule error is now thrown if a Skylark rule implementation
    function returns multiple providers of the same type.
  • Removed the gen_jars output group
  • Removed the gen_jars output group
  • Set --defer_param_files to default to true.
  • Sort attribute lists in proto-form query output to fix
    non-deterministic genquery output.
  • Replace 0/1 with False/True for testonly attribute
  • bazel now supports a .bazelignore file specifying
    directories to be ignored; however, these directories still
    have to be well founded and, in particular, may not contain
    symlink cycles.
  • Add more detailed reporting of the differences between startup
    options.
  • update data binding to 3.2.0
  • For Android incremental dexing actions, Bazel now persists its
    DexBuilder process across individual actions. From our
    benchmarks, this results in a 1.2x speedup for clean local builds.
  • The standard xcode_VERSION feature now always uses exactly two
    components in the version, even if you specify --xcode_version
    with
    more or fewer than two.
  • A rule error will be thrown if a Skylark rule implementation
    function returns multiple providers of the same type. Try the
    --incompatible_disallow_conflicting_providers flag to ensure
    your code is forward-compatible.
  • Removed notion of FULLY_STATIC linking mode from C++ rules.
  • In documentation, we've renamed Skylark into Starlark.
  • Execution Log Parser can now, when printing it out, reorder the
    actions for easier text diffs
  • Linkstamps are no longer recompiled after server restart.
  • Use VanillaJavaBuilder and disable header compilation in
    toolchain_hostjdk8. The default toolchain will soon drop
    compatibility with JDK 8. Using a JDK 8 host_javabase
    will only be supported when using 'VanillaJavaBuilder' (which
    does not support Error Prone,
    Strict Java Deps, or reduced classpaths) and with header
    compilation disabled.
  • In the future, Bazel will expand tree artifacts in runfiles, too,
    which causes the sandbox to link each file individually into the
    sandbox directory, instead of symlinking the entire directory. In
    this release, the behavior is not enabled by default yet. Please
    try it out via
    --incompatible_symlinked_sandbox_expands_tree_artifacts_in_runfile
    s_tree and let us know if it causes issues. If everything looks
    good, this behavior will become the default in a following
    release.
