     Remove support for authentication and .netrc
   + ada2c55dcc106cd55bafbbe5d9a966e21e4770e0:

Incompatible changes:

  - Python, Windows: the
    --[no]incompatible_windows_escape_python_args is no longer
    supported. (It was flipped to true in Bazel 0.27.0)
  - --incompatible_use_native_patch is enabled by default
  - Windows: --incompatible_windows_bashless_run_command is now true
    by default, meaning "bazel run //foo:bin" will run the binary as
    a subprocess of the Bazel client. (When the flag is false, the
    binary is executed as a subprocess of Bash.)
  - Windows: --incompatible_windows_native_test_wrapper is enabled by
    default

New features:

  - Genrule now supports `cmd_bash`, `cmd_ps`, `cmd_bat` attributes.
    More details at
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/be/general.html#genrule.c
    md
  - config_setting can now check multiple values on "--foo=firstVal
    --foo=secondVal ..."-style flags
  - tags: use `--experimental_allow_tags_propagation` flag to
    propagate tags to the action's execution requirements from
    targets. Such tags should start with: `no-`, `requires-`,
    `supports-`, `block-`, `disable-`, `cpu:`. See #8830 for details.
  - Users can now get generated def file from cc_library via
    "def_file" output group on Windows.
  - Platform-specific bazelrc: with --enable_platform_specific_config
    you can
    enable flags in bazelrc according to your host platform.
  - tags: use `--experimental_allow_tags_propagation` flag to
    propagate tags to the action's execution requirements from
    cc_library or cc_binary targets. Such tags should start with:
    `no-`, `requires-`, `supports-`, `block-`, `disable-`, `cpu:`.
    See #8830 for details.
  - tags: use --experimental_allow_tags_propagation flag to propagate
    tags to the action's execution requirements from java targets.
    Such tags should start with: no-, requires-, supports-, block-,
    disable-, cpu:. See #8830 for details.

Important changes:

  - Bazel Android builds now use aapt2 by default. To revert to aapt,
    set `--android_aapt=aapt`.
  - Make either --subcommands or --verbose_failures imply
    --materialize_param_files
  - Bazel Android builds now use aapt2 by default. To revert to aapt,
    set `--an...
    RELNOTES: None
  - by default all remote connections considered to be via `gRPC`
    with TLS enabled, unless other specified. To disable TLS use
    `grpc://` prefix for you endpoints. All remote connections via
    `gRPC` affected - `--remote_cache`, `--remote_executor` or
    `--bes_backend`. http cache/executor is not affected. See #8061
    for details.
  - cc_* rules support non-transitive defines through a
    'local_defines' attribute.
  - Enable
    incompatible_disallow_rule_execution_platform_constraints_allowed
    by default (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8136).
  - incompatible_disallow_split_empty_separator is enabled by default
  - Fixed Android build issues with aapt2 on Windows. See the [GitHub
    issue](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/9102) for more
    information.
  - --incompatible_disable_static_cc_toolchains has been flipped. See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8546.
  - --remote_default_platform_properties has been deprecated in favor
    of --remote_default_exec_properties.
  - The --incompatible_make_thinlto_command_lines_standalone flag has
    been flipped, see https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/6791
    for more information.
  - The --incompatible_use_specific_tool_files flag has been flipped.
    See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/9126 for more
    information.
  - Clarify default visibility.
  - Enables incompatible_auto_configure_host_platform
  - New incompatible flag --incompatible_disable_depset_items
    disables the "items" parameter in the Starlark depset
    constructor. Use "direct" and "transitive" parameters instead.
  - --incompatible_assignment_identifiers_have_local_scope is enabled
  - incompatible_disable_partition_default_parameter is enabled by
    default ()
  - incompatible_restrict_attribute_names is enabled
    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/6437)
  - The --incompatible_disable_nocopts flag has been flipped. See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8546 for more
    information.
  - Deprecated Java-Starlark API java_common.create_provider is
    removed. JavaInfo() legacy args (actions, sources, source_jars,
    use_ijar, java_toolchain, host_javabase) are removed.
  - The flag incompatible_disallow_hashing_frozen_mutables is enabled
    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7800)
  - `maven_jar` and `maven_server` now disallow using plain HTTP URLs
    without a specified checksum. If you are still using `maven_jar`,
    consider migrating to
    [`rules_jvm_external`](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_ext
    ernal) for transitive dependency management. See
    [#8607](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8607) for more
    information.
  - Added `sha256` and `sha256_src` attributes to `maven_jar`. Please
    consider migrating to SHA-256 as SHA-1 has been deemed
    cryptographically insecure ([https://shattered.io]()). Or, use
    [`rules_jvm_external`](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_ext
    ernal) to manage your transitive Maven dependencies with artifact
    pinning and SHA-256 verification support.
  - introducing per-target exec_properties
  - Bazel now supports ThinLTO builds on Linux for Clang versions >=
    6.0. ThinLTO can be enabled through --features=thin_lto
  - The Target.output_group field in Starlark is removed. Use
    OutputGroupInfo instead. See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7949 for details.
  - Make a number of parameters of Starlark builtin functions
    positional-only (as opposed to specifiable by keyword). See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8147 for details.
  - incompatible_skip_genfiles_symlink is enabled by default (#8651)
  - Change Pruned events will fire immediately after being checked.
  - --incompatible_remove_legacy_whole_archive has been flipped. See
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7362 for more
    information

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel only rebuilds what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
