Incompatible changes:

  - Add --incompatible_disallow_legacy_javainfo flag.
  - Added flag --incompatible_disallow_old_style_args_add to help
    migrate from args.add() to args.add_all() / args.add_joined()
    where appropriate.

New features:

  - Bash,runfiles: use the new platform-independent library in
    `@bazel_tools//tools/bash/runfiles` to access runfiles
    (data-dependencies). See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/tools/bash/runfile
    s/runfiles.bash for usage information.
  - TemplateVariableInfo can now be constructed from Skylark.
  - The java_host_runtime_alias rule is now implemented in Java.

Important changes:

  - Flip default value of --experimental_shortened_obj_file_path to
    true, Bazel now generates short object file path by default.
  - Introduce fdo_profile rule that allows architecture-sensitive
    specification of fdo profiles.
  - canonicalize-flags no longer reorders the flags
  - CppRules: optional_compiler_flag was removed from CROSSTOOL, use
    features instead.
  - Labels of the form ////foo are disallowed.
  - The `/` operator is deprecated in favor of `//` (floor integer
    division).
      Try the `--incompatible_disallow_slash_operator` flag to ensure
    your code
      is forward-compatible.
  - Flip default value of --experimental_shortened_obj_file_path to
    true, Bazel now generates short object file path by default.
  - Exposed "mnemonic" and "env" fields on skylark "Action" objects.
  - Removed flag `--incompatible_disallow_toplevel_if_statement`.
  - Remove vestigial 'deps' and 'data' attributes from
    proto_lang_toolchain
  - Args objects (ctx.actions.args()) have new methods add_all() and
    add_joined() for building command lines using depsets.
  - `FileType` is deprecated and will be removed soon.
      Try the `--incompatible_disallow_filetype` flag to ensure your
    code
      is forward-compatible.
  - Introduce absolute_path_profile attribute that allows fdo_profile
    to accept absolute paths.
  - Support two-arg overloads for ctx.actions.args (eg.
    args.add("--foo", val))
  - Introduce 'tools' attribute to ctx.actions.run.
  - Fixed error message for proguard_apply_dictionary.
  - "bazel run" now lets one run interactive binaries. The
    BUILD_WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY and BUILD_WORKING_DIRECTORY environment
    variables indicate the working directory and the workspace root
    of the Bazel invocation. Tests are provided with an approximation
    of the official test environment.
  - repository rules are no longer restricted to return None.
  - Add --high_priority_workers flag.
  - CppRules: Feature configuration can be created from Skylark
  - Adds new-style JavaInfo provider constructor.
  - Make java_common.compile now uses java_toolchain javacopts by
    default; explicitly retrieving them using
    java_common.default_javac_opts is unnecessary.
  - CppRules: C++ command lines and env variables for C++ actions can
    be retrieved from feature configuration.
  - Skylark rule definitions may advertise providers that targets of
    the rule must propagate.
  - Bazel now supports running actions inside Docker containers.
    To use this feature, run "bazel build --spawn_strategy=docker
    --experimental_docker_image=myimage:latest".
  - Remote execution works for Windows binaries with launchers.
  - Fixing start/end lib expansion for linking. There were many cases
    where archive files were still being used with toolchains that
    support start/end lib. This change consolidates the places that
    make that decision so they can be more consistent.
  - Add support for reporting an error if
    android_test.binary_under_test contains incompatible versions of
    deps
  - We replaced the --experimental_local_disk_cache and
    --experimental_local_disk_cache_path flags into a single
    --disk_cache flag. Additionally, Bazel now tries to create the disk cache
    directory if it doesn't exist.
  - Save Blaze memory by not storing LinkerInput objects in
    LinkCommandLine
  - In the JavaInfo created by java_common.create_provider now
    includes both direct and transitive arguments in
    transitive_compile_time_jars and transitive_runtime_jars
  - Allow --worker_max_instances to take MnemonicName=value to
    specify max for each worker.
  - Allow java_toolchain.header_compiler to be an arbitrary executable
