Incompatible changes:

  - //src:bazel uses the minimal embedded JDK, if you want to
    avoid the extra steps of minimizing the JDK, use //src:bazel-dev
    instead.
  - //src:bazel uses the minimal embedded JDK, if you want to
    avoid the extra steps of building bazel with the minimized JDK,
    use //src:bazel-dev
    instead.
  - The default value of --host_platform and --platforms will be
      changed to not be dependent on the configuration. This means
    that setting
      --cpu or --host_cpu will not affect the target or host platform.
  - Toolchain resolution for cc rules is now enabled via an
    incompatible flag, --incompatible_enable_cc_toolchain_resolution.
    The previous
    flag, --enabled_toolchain_types, is deprecated and will be
    removed.
  - java_(mutable_|)proto_library: removed strict_deps attribute.
  - Python rules will soon reject the legacy "py" struct provider
    (preview by enabling --incompatible_disallow_legacy_py_provider).
    Upgrade rules to use PyInfo instead. See
    [#7298](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7298).
  - java_(mutable_|)proto_library: removed strict_deps attribute.
  - Two changes to native Python rules: 1) `default_python_version`
    and `--force_python` are deprecated; use `python_version` and
    `--python_version` respectively instead. You can preview the
    removal of the deprecated names with
    --incompatible_remove_old_python_version_api. See
    [#7308](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7308). 2) The
    version flag will no longer override the declared version of a
    `py_binary` or `py_test` target. You can preview this new
    behavior with --incompatible_allow_python_version_transitions.
    See [#7307](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7307).

Important changes:

  - There is a new flag available
    `--experimental_java_common_create_provider_enabled_packages`
    that acts as a whitelist for usages of
    `java_common.create_provider`. The constructor will be deprecated
    in Bazel 0.23.
  - [#7024] Allow chaining of the same function type in aquery.
  - Introduces --local_{ram,cpu}_resources, which will take the place
    of --local_resources.
  - [#6930] Add documentation for the aquery command.
  - Incompatible flag `--incompatible_dont_emit_static_libgcc` has
    been flipped (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/6825)
  - Incompatible flag `--incompatible_linkopts_in_user_link_flags`
    has been flipped (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/6826)
  - Flag --incompatible_range_type is removed.
  - Flag --incompatible_disallow_slash_operator is removed.
  - Flag --incompatible_disallow_conflicting_providers is removed.
  - `--incompatible_disallow_data_transition` is now enabled by
    default
  - Allow inclusion of param files in aquery output
  - [#6985] Add test to verify aquery's behavior for Cpp action
    templates.
  - --incompatible_require_feature_configuration_for_pic was flipped
    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7007).
  - Also ignore module-info.class in multi-version Jars
  - objc_framework has been deleted. Please refer to
    apple_dynamic_framework_import and apple_static_framework_import
    rules available in
    [rules_apple](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_apple/blob/maste
    r/doc/rules-general.md)
  - --test_sharding_strategy=experimental_heuristic is no more
  - objc_bundle_library has been removed. Please migrate to
    rules_apple's
    [apple_resource_bundle](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_apple/
    blob/master/doc/rules-resources.md#apple_resource_bundle).
  - You can now use the attribute `aapt_version` or the flag
    `--android_aapt` to pick the aapt version for android_local_test
    tests
  - In --keep_going mode, Bazel now correctly returns a non-zero exit
    code when encountering a package loading error during target
    pattern parsing of patterns like "//foo:all" and "//foo/...".
  - The default value for --incompatible_strict_action_env has been
    flipped to 'false' again, as we discovered breakages for local
    execution users. We'll need some more time to figure out the best
    way to make this work for local and remote execution. Follow
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7026 for more details.
  - Locally-executed spawns tagged "no-cache" no longer upload their
    outputs to the remote cache.
  - Introduces --host_compiler flag to allow setting a compiler for
    host compilation when --host_crosstool_top is specified.
  - --incompatible_expand_directories is enabled by default
  - [aquery] Handle the case of aspect-on-aspect.
  - Fixed a longstanding bug in the http remote cache where the value
    passed to
    --remote_timeout would be interpreted as milliseconds instead of
    seconds.
  - Enable --incompatible_use_jdk10_as_host_javabase by default, see
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/6661
  - Add --incompatible_use_jdk11_as_host_javabase: makes JDK 11 the
    default --host_javabase for remote jdk
    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7219)
  - Highlight TreeArtifact in aquery text output.
  - Locally-executed spawns tagged "no-cache" no longer upload their
    outputs to the remote cache.
  - java_common APIs now accept JavaToolchainInfo and JavaRuntimeInfo
    instead of configured targets for java_toolchain and java_runtime
  - cc_common.create_cc_toolchain_config_info is stable and available
    for production use
  - incompatible_use_toolchain_providers_in_java_common: pass
    JavaToolchainInfo and JavaRuntimeInfo providers to java_common
    APIs instead of configured targets
    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7186)
  - --incompatible_strict_argument_ordering is enabled by default.
  - Bazel now supports reading cache hits from a repository cache,
    even if it doesn't have write access to the cache.
  - Adding arm64e to OSX CROSSTOOL.
  - Ignore package-level licenses on config_setting.
  - Add an optional output_source_jar parameter to java_common.compile
  - --incompatible_disable_objc_provider_resources is now enabled by
    default. This disables ObjcProvider's fields related to resource
    processing.
  - Explicitly set https.protocols and exclude TLSv1.3.
  - Bazel now validates that JAVA_HOME points to a valid JDK and
    falls back to auto-detection by looking up the path of `javac`.
  - Upgrade the embedded JDK version to 11.0.2.
  - Added --incompatible_disable_crosstool_file
    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7320)
  - --incompatible_disable_objc_provider_resources is now enabled by
    default. This disables ObjcProvider's fields related to resource
    processing.
  - --incompatible_disable_tools_defaults_package has been flipped.
  - For tests that do not generate a test.xml, Bazel now uses a
    separate action to generate one; this results in minor
    differences in the generated test.xml, and makes the generation
    more reliable overall.
  - incompatible_generate_javacommon_source_jar: java_common.compile
    now always generates a source jar, see
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5824.
  - New incompatible flag
    --incompatible_disallow_struct_provider_syntax removes the
    ability for rule implementation functions to return struct. Such
    functions should return a list of providers instead. Migration
