+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+  - this incompatible change breaks old instances of http_archive
+    that specified netrc as an absolute path. It is unlikely there
+    are many instances in the wild since the path would refer to a
+    netrc file inside the external repository by absolute path.
+    Migration should be straightforward.
+  - genrule switched to use exec transition instead of host. This can
+    break targets with hardcoded output paths. To avoid using
+    hardcoded paths use make variables, see
+    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/4.2.2/be/make-variables.html#pre
+    defined_label_variables
+  - this incompatible change breaks old instances of http_archive
+    that specified netrc as an absolute path. It is unlikely there
+    are many instances in the wild since...
+  - Error Prone now checks for unused return values of additional
+    methods on `java.lang.Object`, which can be disabled using
+    `--javacopts=-Xep:ReturnValueIgnored:OFF`
+  - Error Prone now checks for unused return values of additional
+    methods on `java.lang.Object`, which can be disabled using
+    `--javacopts=-Xep:ReturnValueIgnored:OFF`
+  - The --incompatible_existing_rules_immutable_view flag has been
+    flipped to true. See
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13907 for
+    migration notes.
+  - Split up the C++ archive from the C++ link action and set
+    `CppArchive` as mnemonic.
+  - workspace(managed_directories=) is not available anymore.
+  - --legacy_important_outputs now has a default of false.
+  - --legacy_important_outputs default reverted to true.
+  - objc_library now requires CcInfo in its deps.  If this breaks
+    you, add empty CcInfo() to your rule.
+  - Flag --experimental_local_memory_estimate removed.
+  - Added a new flag
+    --incompatible_unambiguous_label_stringification, which causes
+    labels in the main repo to stringify into unambiguous forms
+    starting with an @. See
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/15916 for more
+    information.
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - Deprecate --incompatible_applicable_licenses flag, in preparation
+    for removal in Bazel 6.x.
+  - Treat py_*.srcs_version="PY2" the same as "PY2ONLY".
+  - The Build Event Protocol now contains file digests and sizes
+    along with the file name and URI.
+  - Refactor system suspend event handling.
+  - alias() can now select() directly on constraint_value()
+  - Allow \a \b \f \v escape sequences in Starlark.
+  - Match remote and local xcode version by most granular version.
+  - Adds `--experimental_worker_multiplex_sandboxing` flag that
+    controls whether to sandbox multiplex workers that support it.
+  - provider() has a new parameter: init, a callback for performing
+    pre-processing and validation of field values. Iff this parameter
+    is set,
+    provider() returns a tuple of 2 elements: the usual provider
+    symbol (which,
+    when called, invokes init) and a raw constructor (which bypasses
+    init).
+  - Tests that fail to create or complete their
+    `TestAttemptContinuation` by
+    throwing an `ExecException` will report an `INCOMPLETE` status.
+    Previously, Bazel
+    would fail to report any status for the test attempt.
+  - Fixed an issue where Bazel could erroneously report a test passes
+    in coverage mode without actually running the test.
+  - Include more information about configurations in cquery proto
+    formatted output. This deprecates the configuration field of
+    AnalysisProtosV2.ConfiguredTarget, and adds a new field,
+    configuration_id, to
+    be used instead.
+  - experimental cc_library.implementation_deps inverted to
+    interface_deps
+  - In aquery and cquery proto output, indicate if a configuration is
+    a
+    tool or non-tool configuration.
+  - Include complete configurations in cquery proto output.
+  - experimental cc_library.implementation_deps inverted to
+    interface_deps
+  - Make protocOpts() publicly accessible.
+  - Add some documentation about how configuration information is
+    conveyed in cquery proto output.
+  - Introduces experimental static library linking API under
+    apple_common.link_multi_arch_static_library
+  - Further deprecation and removal of pkg_tar. Stop supporting
+    legacy use of 'files' attribute, where it could be a list of
+    labels instead of a map of paths to labels.
+  - Removed --incompatible_no_build_defs_pkg flag. It never fulfilled
+    its purpose because --all_incompatible_changes would never set
+    it. The last rule it gated (pkg_tar) is scheduled to be removed
+    in Bazel 6.x.
+  - Add coverage configuration fragment, used to expose
+    output_generator label.
+  - Bazel now no longer includes system headers on macOS in coverage
+    reports (#14969).
+  - android_sdk_repository read $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT in addition to
+    $ANDROID_HOME.
+  - The default dexer is now d8. dx can be optionally enabled using:
+      --define=android_dexmerger_tool=dx_dexmerger \
+      --define=android_incremental_dexing_tool=dx_dexbuilder \
+      --define=android_standalone_dexing_tool=dx_compat_dx \
+      --use_workers_with_dexbuilder
+  - Packaging support for deploy JAR embedded JDK files (hermetic
+    Java).
+  - Don't stamp cc_common.link actions for tool dependencies.
+  - Starlark test rules can use the new inherited_environment
+    parameter of testing.TestEnvironment to specify environment
+    variables
+    whose values should be inherited from the shell environment.
+  - Enable merging permissions during Android manifest merging with
+    the --merge_android_manifest_permissions flag.
+  - Allow specialization to work with constraint_values.
+  - Bazel uses the D8 jar from Maven instead of the SDK.
+  - Make ijar / java_import preserve classes with `@kotlin.Metadata`
+    annotations
+  - Switch cc_test implementation to Starlark. Note: cc_test will now
+    link statically when _targeting_ Windows regardless of host
+    platform (rather than always linking statically when Windows is
+    the _host_).
+  - Switch cc_test implementation to Starlark. Note: cc_test will now
+    link statically when _targeting_ Windows regardless of host
+    platform (rather than always linking statically when Windows is
+    the _host_).
+  - Add devtools/build/lib/worker:work_request_handlers to the remote
+    android tools release package. This will be transitively packaged
+    into all_android_tools.
+  - Bazel uses the D8 jar from Maven instead of the SDK.
+  - android_sdk_repository read $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT in addition to
+    $ANDROID_HOME.
+  - Advance android_tools_pkg version to 0.24.0.
+  - Switch cc_test implementation to Starlark. Note: cc_test will now
+    link statically when _targeting_ Windows regardless of host
+    platform (rather
+    than always linking statically when Windows is the _host_).
+  - Bazel uses the D8 jar from Maven instead of the SDK.
+  - "blaze config" now only reports info from the last build. To
+    compare configurations across multiple builds, redirect "blaze
+    config" output to a file and run your favorite diff tool.
+  - The --incompatible_override_toolchain_transition flag is now
+    always set, and will be removed in the future. Thus,
+    --noincompatible_override_toolchain_transition has no effect, and
+    the value of the incompatible_use_toolchain_transition parameter
+    in aspect() and rule() builtins is ignored.
+  - Switch cc_test implementation to Starlark. Note: cc_test will now
+    link statically when _targeting_ Windows regardless of host
+    platform (rather
+    than always linking statically when Windows is the _host_).
+  - Toolchain types may now be optional, in addition to mandatory.
+    See https://bazel.build/docs/toolchains#optional-toolchains for
+    further details.
+  - Add six to deps of has_services=1 py_proto_librarys.
+  - pkg_tar(symlinks) has been removed. Users needing that feature
+    should
+    migrate to @rules_pkg.
+  - Aspects can now define and use exec groups using the same API as
+    rules.
+  - Removed the obsolete --incompatible_applicable_licenses flag. The
+    feature is permanently enabled.
+  - embedded_tools packages R8 desugarer again
+  - Bazel now selects sh path based on execution platform instead of
+    host platform, making it possible to execute sh actions in
+    multiplatform builds. --shell_executable now only applies to
+    actions configured for host.
+  - labels in genquery.scope are no longer configured.
+  - When Bzlmod is enabled, all Bzlmod-generated repos will have an
+    extra '@' prepended to their names. This effectively enables the
+    canonical label literal syntax for Bzlmod-generated repos
+    (`@@canonicalRepoName//pkg:target`; see
+    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N81qfCa8oskCk5LqTW-LNthy6EBrDo
+    t7bdUsjz6JFC4/edit?usp=sharing).
+  - Exposed `CcSharedLibraryInfo` to Starlark builtins.
+  - Enable --use_top_level_targets_for_symlinks by default.
+  - Singlejar accepts runtime Created-By field
+  - --noincompatible_disable_managed_directories, and with that,
+    workspace(managed_directories=) is not supported anymore.
+  - Bazel supports D8 desugaring, albeit without persistent workers
+  - Remove mtime options from pkg_tar. Users should migrate to
+    @rules_pkg.
+  - Test for experimental multiplexed persistent resource processor.
+  - Added new register_{execution_platforms,toolchains} directives to
+    the MODULE.bazel file, to replace the
+    {execution_platforms,toolchains}_to_register attributes on the
+    module() directive.
+  - The legacy pkg_tar no longer supports the ability to untar and
+    repackage an input tar file (`deps` attribute). Users needed that
+    capability must switch to github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg.
+  - `cquery`'s new output mode
+    [`--output=files`](https://bazel.build/docs/cquery#files-output)
+    lists the output files of the targets matching the query. It
+    takes the current value of `--output_groups` into account.
+  - Change singlejar metadata to report Created-By Bazel
+  - Add support for fetching RPC credentials from credential helper.
+  - Revert interface_deps back to implementation_deps after problem
+    reported in. Use `buildozer 'rename deps implementation_deps'
+    //...:%cc_library; buildozer 'rename interface_deps deps'
+    //...:%cc_library`
+  - Fix for desugaring failure on Bazel+Android+Windows build
+    scenario.
+  - D8 is the default desugarer
+  - Migrate main_dex_list_creator to D8 (DX deprecation)

+
+Important changes:
+
+  - alias() can now select() directly on constraint_value()
+    
+    Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13047.
+    
+    Closes #14310.
+  - Fixed an issue where Bazel could erroneously report a test passes
+    in coverage mode without actually running the test.
+  - Make protocOpts() publicly accessible.
+  - Add coverage configuration fragment, used to expose
+    output_generator label.
+  - Bazel now no longer includes system headers on macOS in coverage
+    reports (#14969).
+    
+    Closes #14971.
+  - Starlark test rules can use the new inherited_environment
+    parameter of testing.TestEnvironment to specify environment
+    variables
+    whose values should be inherited from the shell environment.
+    
+    Closes #14849.
+  - none
+    RELNOTES:none
+  - Enable merging permissions during Android manifest merging with
+    the --merge_android_manifest_permissions flag.
+  - Added new register_{execution_platforms,toolchains} directives to
+    the MODULE.bazel file, to replace the
+    {execution_platforms,toolchains}_to_register attributes on the
+    module() directive.
+  - Add support for fetching RPC credentials from credential helper.
+    
+    Progress on https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/15856
+    
+    Closes #15947.
+  - `cquery`'s new output mode
+    [`--output=files`](https://bazel.build/docs/cquery#files-output)
+    lists the output files of the targets matching the query. It
+    takes the current value of `--output_groups` into account.
+    
+    Closes #15552.
+  - Fix for desugaring failure on Bazel+Android+Windows build
+    scenario.
