0.4.0
Release 0.4.0 (2016-10-26)
Baseline: 088bbc6
Cherry picks:
- b01160c: Stamp Windows release.
- 2d6736e: Add --no-tty for gpg signing
- 9b1dfb8: Remove .sig file before gpg signing
- 81aede1: Reimplement whole archive on Windows
Incompatible changes:
- Skylark: updating list/dicts while they are being looped over is not
allowed. Use an explicit copy if needed ("for x in list(mylist):"). - Bazel now uses the --cpu flag to look up Jvms; it falls back
to "default" if it can't find a Jvm matching the CPU value. - --command_port=-1 to use AF_UNIX for client/server communications
is not supported anymore. - Sandboxed actions can access the network by default, unless their
target has a "block-network" tag.
New features:
- Files now have an "extension" property in Skylark.
Important changes:
- Added a new flag --sandbox_tmpfs_path, which asks the sandbox to
mount an empty, writable directory at a specified path when
running actions. (Supported on Linux only for now.) - Update protoc-3.0.0-mingw.exe to a working (statically linked)
binary - apple_static_library rule to create multi-architecture static
archive files from Objc/C++/Swift dependencies on apple platforms - JS: Add support for localization with closure managed rules.
- Create a flag --android_dynamic_mode to turn off dynamic mode
during the Android split transition. - Darwin sandboxing is default.
- Remove flag --experimental_zip_tree_artifact from j2objc Java
annotation processing support. - A few functions are added to BUILD files for consistency (hash,
dir,
hasattr, getattr) with .bzl files, although they are not very
useful. - --watchfs is now a command option; the startup option of the same
name is deprecated. I.e., use bazel build --watchfs, not
blaze --watchfs
build.
