+
+```
+Baseline: f53c389dbd4b0ae66307e9bd4a72b36b3d284ec3
+```
+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+ - Removing java_common.javac_jar Starlark call.
+ - native.existing_rule now returns select values in a form that is
+ accepted by rule instantiation. This is a breaking API change
+ because there is some code that relies on the precise type
+ returned, including brittle workarounds for this bug specifically
+ and insufficiently flexible workarounds for other issues with the
+ intersection of select and native.existing_rule.
+ - flipped incompatible_use_toolchain_resolution_for_java_rules, see
+ #7849
+ - Query output=xml/proto/location for source files will now show
+ the location of line 1 of the source file (as the new default)
+ instead of its location in the BUILD file.
+ - Specifying a target pattern underneath a directory specified by
+ .bazelignore will now emit a warning, not an error.
+ - Query `--order_output=auto` will now sort lexicographically.
+ However, when `somepath` is used as a top level function (e.g.
+ `query 'somepath(a, b)'`), it will continue to output in
+ dependency order. If you do not want the lexicographical output
+ ordering, specify another `--order_output` value (`no`, `deps` or
+ `full`) based on what ordering you require.
+ - In the build event stream,
+ BuildMetrics.TargetMetrics.targets_loaded is no longer populated.
+ Its value was always mostly meaningless.
+ BuildMetrics.TargetMetrics.targets_configured and
+ BuildMetrics.ActionSummary.actions_created now include configured
+ aspect data.
+ - //visibility:legacy_public has been removed.
+ - Flip and remove incompatible_dont_collect_so_artifacts
+ (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13043).
+ - Remove flag --experimental_no_product_name_out_symlink: it is
+ always true.
+ - The Starlark method generate_dsym in objc fragment has
+ been deleted. Please use the equivalent apple_generate_dsym in
+ cpp
+ fragment instead.
+ - Native libraries in data attribute are not collected. See
+ https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13550 for details
+ - Enforce the `--profile` path to be absolute.
+ - Enforce the --memory_profile path to be absolute.
+ - JavaToolchainInfo.jvm_opt returns Depset instead of a list.
+ - --apple_sdk has been deleted. It is a no-op.
+ - --bep_publish_used_heap_size_post_build is now a no-op and will
+ be deleted in a future release. Use --memory_profile=/dev/null
+ instead.
+ - Flipped --incompatible_disallow_resource_jars (see
+ https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13221).
+
+New features:
+
+ - Args.add_all and Args.add_joined can now accept closures in
+ map_each if explicitly enabled via allow_closure.
+ - Add `--bes_header` flag to pass extra headers to the BES server.
+
+Important changes:
+
+ - Flag --incompatible_objc_compile_info_migration is removed. See
+ #10854.
+ - Flag --incompatible_objc_compile_info_migration is removed. See
+ #10854.
+ - Flag --incompatible_objc_compile_info_migration is removed. See
+ #10854.
+ - none
+ PAIR=cmita
+ - The --incompatible_load_python_rules_from_bzl flag is now a no-op.
+ - Filter all (instead of just C++) source files for coverage output
+ according to --instrumentation_filter and
+ --instrument_test_targets.
+ - The `--incompatible_disable_native_apple_binary_rule` flag has
+ been added which disables the native `apple_binary` rule. Users
+ who need to use `apple_binary` directly (if they cannot use one
+ of the more specific Apple rules) should load it from
+ https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_apple.
+ - The Android rules' --use_singlejar_apkbuilder is now a no-op.
+ SingleJar will always be used to build APKs.
+ - dict.setdefault(key, ...) now fails if dict is frozen, even if it
+ already contains key. This is an incompatible API change.
+ - Flag --incompatible_objc_provider_remove_compile_info is removed.
+ See #11359.
+ - Starlark now permits def statements to be nested (closures).
+ - native.existing_rule now returns select values in a form that is
+ accepted by rule instantiation. This is a breaking API change,
+ though the fallout is expected to be small.
+ - Starlark now supports lambda (anonymous function) expressions.
+ - The "test" and "coverage" commands no longer return 3 when a
+ test action fails because of a system error. Instead, the exit
+ code
+ reflects the type of system error.
+ - The undocumented ctx.expand feature no longer exists.
+ - Make --legacy_dynamic_scheduler a no-op flag.
+ - Multiplex persistent workers can now use the JSON protocol.
+ - native.existing_rule now returns a mutable list, not a tuple, for
+ a list-valued attributes. This is an incompatible API change.
+ - Roll back change to have native.existing_rules use list instead
+ of tuple.
+ - BEP includes test suite expansions.
+ - config_setting now honors `visibility` attribute (and defaults to
+ `//visibility:public`)
+ - Change the MultiArchSplitTransitionProvider to be based on
+ platform type + CPU instead of fixed "ios_" + cpu.
+ - enforce config_setting visibility. See
+ https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/12932 for details.
+ - add a flag to build v4 signature file
+ - Added _direct_source_jars output group to Java related targets.
+ END_PUBLIC
+ - pkg_deb is no longer part of @bazel_tools//build_defs/pkg:pkg.bzl.
+ Use https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/tree/main/pkg instead
+ - Allowing the lipo operations to be conditional in the
+ linkMultiArchBinary API for Apple binaries. Single architecture
+ slices are now returned through AppleBinaryOutput and the
+ Starlark API.
+ - Release restriction for "-" in the package name for Python
+ sources. Now `py_binary` and `py_test` targets can have main
+ source file with "-" in the path.
+ - Users consuming BEP may assume that a `named_set_of_files` event
+ will
+ appear before any event referencing that `named_set` by ID. This
+ allows consumers
+ to process the files for such events (eg. `TargetCompleted`)
+ immediately.
+ - BEP includes all files from successful actions in requested
+ output groups.
+ Previously, an output group's files were excluded if any file in
+ the output group
+ was not produced due to a failing action. Users can expect BEP
+ output to be larger
+ for failed builds.
+ - In BEP, TargetComplete.output_group has a new field `incomplete`
+ indicating that the file_sets field is missing one or more
+ declared artifacts
+ whose generating actions failed.
+ - The flag `--toolchain_resolution_debug` now takes a regex
+ argument, which is used to check which toolchain types should
+ have debug info printed. You may use `.*` as an argument to keep
+ the current behavior of debugging every toolchain type.
+ - Add runfiles.merge_all() for merging a sequence of runfiles
+ objects.
+ - runfiles.merge() and merge_all() now respect
+ --nested_set_depth_limit.
+ If you hit the depth limit because you were calling merge() in a
+ loop, use
+ merge_all() on a sequence of runfiles objects instead.
+ - Bazel will no longer create a bazel-out symlink if
+ --symlink_prefix is specified: the directory pointed to via the
+ bazel-out symlink is accessible via ${symlink_prefix}-out. If
+ this causes problems for you, set
+ --experimental_no_product_name_out_symlink=false in your builds
+ and file an issue.
+ - Updates worker protocol with cancellation fields, and adds
+ experimental_worker_cancellation flag to control cancellation.
+ - Simplify build failure output by always using `NNN arguments`.
+ - trim_test_configuration now defaults to on
+ - Mark genrule.srcs as a source attribute for coverage.
+ - When using --allow_analysis_failures (for example, via
+ bazel-skylib's
+ analysistest with `expect_failure = True`), analysis-time
+ failures in aspect
+ implementation functions will now be propagated and saved in
+ AnalysisFailureInfo, just like analysis-time failures in rules.
+ - cquery --noimplicit_deps now correctly filters out resolved
+ cc_toolchains
+ - Sign apks deterministically.
+ - Make gcov optional in cc_toolchain tools.
+ - If --experimental_prefer_mutual_xcode is passed, Bazel will
+ choose the local default (instead of the newest mutually
+ available version) if it's available both locally and remotely.
+ - Remove java_lite_proto_library.strict_deps attribute.
+ - Generate proguard configurations deterministically.
+ - Adds a new flag, `--incompatible_enable_cc_test_feature` which
+ switches from the use of build variables to the feature of the
+ same name.
+ - Dropped fragile xz support from built in pkg_tar. Users requiring
+ xz
+ compression should switch to bazlebuild/rules_pkg.
+ - If all strategies of one branch (the local or remote execution
+ branch) of the `dynamic` strategy fail to even accept (via the
+ response they give from `canExec`) the action, `dynamic` will now
+ try to see if the other branch can accept it. (Trying to run it
+ and it failing will still cause a failure if it was the first
+ result, this is about strategies claiming they can't even try the
+ action)
+ - Add `disable_annotation_processing` option to
+ `java_common.compile`, which disables any annotation processors
+ passed to `plugins` or in `exported_plugins` of `deps`
+ - Remove obsolete --incompatible_prohibit_aapt1
+ - The minimum Android build tools version for the Android rules is
+ now 30.0.0
+ - Adds --experimental_reuse_sandbox_directories flag to reuse
+ already-created non-worker sandboxes with cleanup.
+ - --experimental_force_gc_after_build is deprecated and will be
+ removed soon. Use --bep_publish_used_heap_size_post_build instead
+ - Forward coverage-instrumented files from non-tool dependencies by
+ default.
+ - The used_heap_size_post_build field in BEP is populated when the
+ --memory_profile flag is set
+ - --run_validations defaults to true.
+ - Consider label_keyed_string_dict attributes when gathering
+ instrumented files for coverage.
+ - Remove flag
+ --experimental_forward_instrumented_files_info_by_default, now
+ that this behavior is the default.
+ - When using MemoryProfiler with multiple GCs via the
+ --memory_profile_stable_heap_parameters flag, we do a more
+ precise calculation of heap used at the end of the build. This
+ will generally result in lower values.
+ - --bep_publish_used_heap_size_post_build is deprecated. Use
+ --memory_profile=/dev/null instead.
+ - Disable --all_incompatible_changes flag.
