+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+  - Bazel no longer increases the delay between progress updates when
+    there is no cursor control.
+  - `--incompatible_always_include_files_in_data` is flipped
+    to true. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16654 for
+    details.
+  - `cquery --output=files` also outputs source files.
+    
+    Closes #16602.
+  - `--incompatible_strict_conflict_checks` is flipped to true. See
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16729 for details.
+  - This changes the behavior of Python version in exec/host
+    configuration. Mitigation is to set Python version on the targets.
+  - `--features` only applies to targets built in the target
+    configuration, and `--host_features` is used for the host / exec
+    configuration (gated behind `--incompatible_use_host_features`)
+    
+    Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13839
+    
+    Closes #16626.
+
+New features:
+
+  - The aquery and cquery commands now respect the --query_file flag
+    just like the query command.
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - The new path variable `$(rlocationpath ...)` and its plural form
+    `$(rlocationpaths ...)` can be used to expand labels to the paths
+    accepted by the `Rlocation` function of runfiles libraries. This
+    is the preferred way to access data dependencies at runtime and
+    works on all platforms, even when runfiles are not enabled (e.g.,
+    on Windows by default).
+    
+    Work towards #16124
+    Fixes #10923
+    
+    Closes #16428.
+  - Starlark `print()` statements are now emitted iff the line of
+    code is executed. They are no longer replayed on subsequent
+    invocations unless the Starlark code is re-executed.
+    Additionally, multiple identical `print()` statements (same
+    string from the same line of code, e.g. from a loop) are all
+    emitted and no longer deduplicated.
+  - Fixes a bug where some compilation flags would not be applied to
+    a cc_test
+  - Added a `native.package_relative_label()` function, which
+    converts a label string to a Label object in the context of the
+    calling package, in contrast to `Label()`, which does so in the
+    context of the current .bzl file. Both functions now also accept
+    relative labels such as `:foo`, and are idempotent.
+  - Adds coverage metric support to android_local_test
+  - Fixed an issue where WORKSPACE and WORKSPACE-loaded .bzl files
+    couldn't see the Bzlmod root module's mappings when Bzlmod is
+    enabled.
+  - Added `native.module_name()` and `native.module_version()` to
+    allow BUILD macro authors to acquire information about which
+    Bazel module the current repo is associated with.
+  - `@foo` labels can now be used on the command line as the
+    top-level target (that is, `bazel build @foo` now works).
+    Double-dot syntax is now forbidden (`bazel build ../foo` will no
+    longer work).
+  - Added preliminary support for a lockfile for Bzlmod. It's
+    disabled by default; use `--lockfile_mode=update` to enable it.
+    This lockfile contains only Bazel module information; it does not
+    involve module extensions.
+  - Added a new `max_compatibility_level` attribute to the
+    `bazel_dep` directive, which allows version selection to upgrade
+    a dependency up to the specified compatibility level.
+    
+    Co-authored-by: Brentley Jones <github@brentleyjones.com>
+  - `--experimental_remote_grpc_log` has been renamed to
+    `--remote_grpc_log`
+    
+    Closes #18180.

+  - json.decode now takes an optional `default` positional parameter;
+    if this parameter is specified and decoding fails, json.decode
+    will return
+    the `default` value instead of failing Starlark evaluation.

+
+```
+Baseline: 0a47a1fb04efef598376d4ee7b383add1febcc6c
+```
+
+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).
+  - Remove --bep_publish_used_heap_size_post_build
+  - JSON trace profile: rename counter names.
+  - Removed --action_graph from the dump command.
+  - Remove `--{experimental_,}json_trace_compression` option.
+  - Remove `--experimental_profile_cpu_usage`.
+  - flipped --incompatible_java_common_parameters (see #12373)
+  - 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.
+  - analysis_test moved into testing.analysis_test
+  - Flip incompatible_enable_cc_toolchain_resolution
+    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7260)
+  - (Rollback) Flip incompatible_enable_cc_toolchain_resolution
+    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7260)
+  - name parameter is removed from rule call
+    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16301)
+  - name parameter is removed from rule call
+    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16301)
+  - name parameter is removed from rule call
+    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16301)
+  - --incompatible_remote_downloader_send_all_headers is flipped to
+    true. See #16356 for details.
+  - GrpcRemoteDownloader only includes relevant headers instead of
+    sending all credentials.
+  - In package_group's `packages` attribute, the syntax "//..." now
+    refers to all packages in the same repository as the package
+    group, rather than all packages everywhere. The new item "public"
+    can be used instead to obtain the old behavior. In `bazel query
+    --output=proto` (and `--output=xml`), the `packages` attribute
+    now serializes with the leading double slash included (for
+    instance, `//foo/bar/...` instead of `foo/bar/...`). See also
+    #16355, #16323, and #16391.
+  - This has the side effect of changing the message on unsuccessful
+    builds from
+    ```
+    FAILED: Build did NOT complete successfully (0 packages loaded)
+    ```
+    to
+    ```
+    ERROR: Build did NOT complete successfully
+    ```
+  - Bazel no longer increases the delay between progress updates when
+    there is no cursor control.
+  - This has the side effect of changing the message on unsuccessful
+    builds from
+    ```
+    FAILED: Build did NOT complete successfully (0 packages loaded)
+    ```
+    to
+    ```
+    ERROR: Build did NOT complete successfully
+    ```
+  - the --experimental_async_execution flag is now a no-op.
+  - --experimental_replay_action_out_err is not a no-op.
+  - `cquery --output=files` also outputs source files.
+  - `--incompatible_strict_conflict_checks` is flipped to true. See
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16729 for details.
+  - `--incompatible_strict_conflict_checks` is flipped to true. See
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16729 for details.
+  - `--incompatible_always_include_files_in_data` is flipped to true.
+    See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16654 for details.
+  - This changes the behavior of Python version in exec/host
+    configuration. Mitigation is to set Python version on the targets.
+  - When multiple --deleted_packages options are passed on the
+    command line, they will be concatenated instead of the latest one
+    taking effect.
+  - This has the side effect of changing the message on unsuccessful
+    builds from
+  - JSON profile: Use doubles instead of strings for counter series.
+  - query --output=proto --order_output=deps now returns targets in
+    topological order (previously there was no ordering).
+  - --experimental_build_transitive_python_runfiles is flipped to
+    false. See #16303 for details
+  - --incompatible_python_disable_py2 is flipped to true. See #17293
+    for details.
+  - When remote cache evicts blobs, Bazel will exit with code 39.
+  - `--features` only applies to targets built in the target
+    configuration, and `--host_features` is used for the host / exec
+    configuration (gated behind `--incompatible_use_host_features`)
+  - `--incompatible_strict_conflict_checks` is flipped to true. See
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16729 for details.
+  - Bazel's local CPU resource on Linux is now container aware. Use
+    `--local_cpu_resources`, `--loading_phase_threads` or `--jobs` to
+    override.
+  - `copy_from_rule` is exec_groups is deprecated
+    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/17668).
+  - --legacy_bazel_java_test is now a no-op
+  - --legacy_bazel_java_test is now a no-op
+  - --legacy_bazel_java_test is now a no-op
+  - `--experimental_execution_graph_log` no longer exists. Current
+    users that want local logs need to pass
+    `--experimental_enable_execution_graph_log
+    --experimental_execution_graph_log_path=/some/local/path`.
+    Current users that want logs uploaded to BEP need to pass
+    `--experimental_enable_execution_graph_log
+    --experimental_stream_log_file_uploads`.
+  - Remove 'darwin' as a CPU value, use 'darwin_x86_64' instead
+  - Remove high priority workers functionality from blaze.
+
+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.
+  - Support local_repository in Bazel Registry's source.json file
+  - The `aquery` and `cquery` commands now respect the
+    `--query_file` flag just like the `query` command.
+
+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.
+  - The --all_incompatible_changes flag is now a no-op
+  - The `--toolchain_resolution_debug` flag now accepts regexes
+    matching targets, as well as toolchain types, when choosing what
+    debug messages to print.
+  - Adds --experimental_existing_rules_immutable_view flag to make the
+    native.existing_rule and native.existing_rules functions more
+    efficient by
+    returning immutable, lightweight dict-like view objects instead
+    of mutable
+    dicts.
+  - Add support to length-delimited protos as undeclared output
+    annotations []
+  - The deprecated "relative_to_caller_repository" parameter has been
+    removed from the Label constructor.
+  - The toolchain transition is now enabled for all toolchains.
+  - incompatible_disable_depset_items is flipped
+  - The --experimental_existing_rules_immutable_view flag has been
+    renamed to  --incompatible_existing_rules_immutable_view
+  - Bazel no longer supports Java 8. From this version on, the
+    minimum required JDK is OpenJDK 11.
+  - 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)
+  - --experimental_enable_bzlmod has been renamed --enable_bzlmod,
+    and still defaults to false.
+  - selects() no longer produce irrelevant duplicate label checks
+  - Adds a dexer output cache to CompatDexBuilder to improve build
+    speed.
+  - Improved error messages when analyzing inline bzl code
+  - Improved error messages when analyzing inline bzl code
+  - The `@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:compiler` flag now has the value
+    `gcc` if the configured compiler is detected to be gcc rather
+    than the generic value `compiler`. A branch for `gcc` may have to
+    be added to `select` statements that do not have a default case
+    that handles gcc appropriately.
+  - The `get_child` method of `path` now accepts an arbitrary
+    number of relative path strings as positional arguments.
+  - SourceManifestAction supports `Action.content`
+  - Add --incompatible_build_transitive_python_runfiles alias. See
+    #16303
+  - The @bazel_tools//tools/cpp:compiler flag now has the value
+    `clang` for the auto-configured Xcode toolchain rather than the
+    generic value compiler. A branch for `clang` may have to be added
+    to select statements that do not have a default case that handles
+    this toolchain appropriately.
+  - added additional debug message to warn of skipped toolchains
+    during resolution
+  - The deprecated --remote_allow_symlink_upload flag has been
+    removed. Symlinks in local action outputs are always permitted,
+    even with remote caching. Whether they're uploaded as symlinks or
+    as the files/directories they point to is still determined by the
+    --incompatible_remote_symlinks flag.
+  - Added `struct`, `json`, `proto`, and `depset` to the starlark
+    environment of Bazel's cquery (--output=starlark) command
+  - Added three `package_group`-related flags:
+    `--incompatible_package_group_includes_double_slash` (#16391),
+    `--incompatible_package_group_has_public_syntax` (#16355), and
+    `--incompatible_fix_package_group_reporoot_syntax` (#16323). With
+    these flags, `package_group` can now easily specify "all
+    packages", "no packages", and "all packages in the current repo".
+  - Record hermetic packaged JDK modules file size in deploy JAR
+    manifest 'JDK-Lib-Modules-Size' attribute.
+  - .bzl files may now set a visibility to guard what other .bzl and
+    BUILD files may load them. See [...] for more information.
+  - Deletes the --extra_proguard_specs Blaze flag
+  - The new path variable `$(rlocationpath ...)` and its plural form
+    `$(rlocationpaths ...)` can be used to expand labels to the paths
+    accepted by the `Rlocation` function of runfiles libraries. This
+    is the preferred way to access data dependencies at runtime and
+    works on all platforms, even when runfiles are not enabled (e.g.,
+    on Windows by default).
+  - Starlark `print()` statements are now emitted iff the line of
+    code is executed. They are no longer replayed on subsequent
+    invocations unless the Starlark code is re-executed.
+    Additionally, multiple identical `print()` statements (same
+    string from the same line of code, e.g. from a loop) are all
+    emitted and no longer deduplicated.
+  - Fixes a bug where some compilation flags would not be applied to
+    a cc_test
+  - removed outdated ctx.host_fragments
+  - removed outdated ctx.host_configuration
+  - Now that the host configuration is finished, `genrule` should
+    prefer the use of `tools` and stop using `exec_tools`.
+  - Added a `native.package_relative_label()` function, which
+    converts a label string to a Label object in the context of the
+    calling package, in contrast to `Label()`, which does so in the
+    context of the current .bzl file. Both functions now also accept
+    relative labels such as `:foo`, and are idempotent.
+  - Update Android manifest merger to v30.1.3, and also drop support
+    for legacy (pre-D8) desugaring.
+  - Adds coverage metric support to android_local_test
+  - Correctly encode double value positive infinity as "inf" instead
+    of "+inf" for textprotos.
+  - Add --use_target_platform_for_tests which uses the target
+    platform for executing tests instead of the execution platform.
+  - Custom C++ rules on Windows calling
+    cc_common.create_linking_context_from_compilation_outputs should
+    review whether each target of the rule type should produce a
+    dynamic library since a condition which blocked their creation
+    has been moved to the rules from behind the API.
+  - Add flag `--experimental_remote_cache_ttl` and set the default
+    value to 3 hours.
+  - making --incompatible_use_platforms_repo_for_constraints do
+    nothing. Using constraints from @bazel_tools//platforms with or
+    without the flag will throw error with message "Constraints from
+    @bazel_tools//platforms have been removed. Please use constraints
+    from @platforms repository embedded in Bazel, or preferably
+    declare dependency on https://github.com/bazelbuild/platforms"
+  - Fixed an issue where WORKSPACE and WORKSPACE-loaded .bzl files
+    couldn't see the Bzlmod root module's mappings when Bzlmod is
+    enabled.
+  - Subsequent settings of --extra_execution_platforms now override
+    previous settings, instead of adding them to a list. If you
+    currently set --extra_execution_platforms more than once, please
+    migrate by passing a list of values to
+    --extra_execution_platforms instead so that earlier values aren't
+    overwritten.
+  - @bazel_tools//config:common_settings.bzl has been removed.
+    Use @bazel_skylib//rules:common_settings.bzl instead.
+  - cc_shared_library is no longer experimental, see
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16709 for details
+  - The flag `--distinct_host_configuration` is removed. It has been
+    a no-op since Bazel 6.0.0.
+  - Added `native.module_name()` and `native.module_version()` to
+    allow BUILD macro authors to acquire information about which
+    Bazel module the current repo is associated with.
+  - Add `--skip_incompatible_explicit_targets` option
+  - Remove 'darwin' as a CPU value, use 'darwin_x86_64' instead
+  - cc_test can now be configured by using a native.toolchain().
+  - `@foo` labels can now be used on the command line as the
+    top-level target (that is, `bazel build @foo` now works).
+    Double-dot syntax is now forbidden (`bazel build ../foo` will no
+    longer work).
+  - The location of rules that explicitly specify `generator_name`
+    and/or `generator_function` attributes (typically because they
+    are incidentally copied from `native.existing_rule()`) is now the
+    top-level call in the `BUILD` file, which is consistent with
+    rules that do not explicitly specify these attributes.
+  - Warnings (most notably those associated with the `deprecation`
+    rule attribute) are no longer replayed on subsequent invocations
+    unless the target in question is re-analyzed. Warnings are purely
+    informational, so this change has no bearing on the correctness
+    of the build. Downstream tests that break due to this change
+    should update their expectations.
+  - `--experimental_remote_build_event_upload` has been renamed to
+    `--remote_build_event_upload`
+  - [Breaking change] platform, constraint_setting, and
+    constraint_value can no longer take an applicable_licenses value.
+    Remediation is to remove the attribute and rely on the package
+    level default.
+  - `--experimental_action_cache_store_output_metadata` has been
+    renamed to `--action_cache_store_output_metadata`
+  - Changed the default value for `--remote_build_event_upload` to
+    `minimal`.
+  - `--experimental_remote_cache_compression` has been renamed to
+    `--remote_cache_compression`
+  - The REPO.bazel and MODULE.bazel files are now also considered
+    workspace boundary markers.

+## Release 4.2.4 (2023-04-20)
+
+```
+Baseline: 37a429ad12b4c9e6a62dbae4881a1ff03b81ab40
+
+Cherry picks:
+
+   + a689d673abadf80f1efaf8ddaeee92d56fc2847b:
+     Use getRunfilesPath for run_under executable path generation.
+     getRootRelativePath doesn't return a valid runfiles path for
+     external source files anymore after the recent external source
+     root change. Also, it won't work for external labels either once
+     the --nolegacy_external_runfiles becomes default. This fixes
+     issue #12545.
+   + d90ec67fdab9710f649a3c1d374fb6b938b9271a:
+     Fix NPE when coveragerunner is not set on the toolchain.

+     Add --{no,}autodetect_server_javabase.
+   + c83366064621d5a265eba14d93a03deff58fe6d8:

+```
+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+  - GrpcRemoteDownloader only includes relevant headers instead of
+    sending all credentials.
+    
+    Closes #16439.
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - Multiplex persistent workers can now use the JSON protocol.
+  - enforce config_setting visibility. See
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/12932 for details.
+  - The minimum Android build tools version for the Android rules is
+    now 30.0.0
+  - Updates worker protocol with cancellation fields, and adds
+    experimental_worker_cancellation flag to control cancellation.
+  - 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)

+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+  - GrpcRemoteDownloader only includes relevant headers instead of
+    sending all credentials.
+    
+    Closes #16439.
+  - analysis_test moved into testing.analysis_test
+
+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.
+  - The new path variable `$(rlocationpath ...)` and its plural form
+    `$(rlocationpaths ...)` can be used to expand labels to the paths
+    accepted by the `Rlocation` function of runfiles libraries. This
+    is the preferred way to access data dependencies at runtime and
+    works on all platforms, even when runfiles are not enabled (e.g.,
+    on Windows by default).
+

+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+  - Bazel no longer increases the delay between progress updates when
+    there is no cursor control.
+  - `--incompatible_always_include_files_in_data` is flipped
+    to true. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16654 for
+    details.
+  - `cquery --output=files` also outputs source files.
+    
+    Closes #16602.
+  - `--incompatible_strict_conflict_checks` is flipped to true. See
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16729 for details.
+  - This changes the behavior of Python version in exec/host
+    configuration. Mitigation is to set Python version on the targets.
+  - `--features` only applies to targets built in the target
+    configuration, and `--host_features` is used for the host / exec
+    configuration (gated behind `--incompatible_use_host_features`)
+    
+    Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13839
+    
+    Closes #16626.
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - The new path variable `$(rlocationpath ...)` and its plural form
+    `$(rlocationpaths ...)` can be used to expand labels to the paths
+    accepted by the `Rlocation` function of runfiles libraries. This
+    is the preferred way to access data dependencies at runtime and
+    works on all platforms, even when runfiles are not enabled (e.g.,
+    on Windows by default).
+    
+    Work towards #16124
+    Fixes #10923
+    
+    Closes #16428.
+  - Starlark `print()` statements are now emitted iff the line of
+    code is executed. They are no longer replayed on subsequent
+    invocations unless the Starlark code is re-executed.
+    Additionally, multiple identical `print()` statements (same
+    string from the same line of code, e.g. from a loop) are all
+    emitted and no longer deduplicated.
+  - Fixes a bug where some compilation flags would not be applied to
+    a cc_test
+  - Added a `native.package_relative_label()` function, which
+    converts a label string to a Label object in the context of the
+    calling package, in contrast to `Label()`, which does so in the
+    context of the current .bzl file. Both functions now also accept
+    relative labels such as `:foo`, and are idempotent.

+```
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - cc_test can now be configured by using a native.toolchain().
+  - `@foo` labels can now be used on the command line as the
+    top-level target (that is, `bazel build @foo` now works).
+    Double-dot syntax is now forbidden (`bazel build ../foo` will no
+    longer work).
+  - The location of rules that explicitly specify `generator_name`
+    and/or `generator_function` attributes (typically because they
+    are incidentally copied from `native.existing_rule()`) is now the
+    top-level call in the `BUILD` file, which is consistent with
+    rules that do not explicitly specify these attributes.
+  - Warnings (most notably those associated with the `deprecation`
+    rule attribute) are no longer replayed on subsequent invocations
+    unless the target in question is re-analyzed. Warnings are purely
+    informational, so this change has no bearing on the correctness
+    of the build. Downstream tests that break due to this change
+    should update their expectations.

+  - Fixed an issue where WORKSPACE and WORKSPACE-loaded .bzl files
+    couldn't see the Bzlmod root module's mappings when Bzlmod is
+    enabled.
+  - Subsequent settings of --extra_execution_platforms now override
+    previous settings, instead of adding them to a list. If you
+    currently set --extra_execution_platforms more than once, please
+    migrate by passing a list of values to

+  - the --experimental_async_execution flag is now a no-op.
+  - --experimental_replay_action_out_err is not a no-op.
+  - `cquery --output=files` also outputs source files.
+  - `--incompatible_strict_conflict_checks` is flipped to true. See

+    See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16654 for details.
+  - This changes the behavior of Python version in exec/host
+    configuration. Mitigation is to set Python version on the targets.
+  - When multiple --deleted_packages options are passed on the
+    command line, they will be concatenated instead of the latest one
+    taking effect.
+  - This has the side effect of changing the message on unsuccessful
+    builds from
+  - JSON profile: Use doubles instead of strings for counter series.
+  - query --output=proto --order_output=deps now returns targets in
+    topological order (previously there was no ordering).
+  - --experimental_build_transitive_python_runfiles is flipped to
+    false. See #16303 for details
+  - --incompatible_python_disable_py2 is flipped to true. See #17293
+    for details.
+  - When remote cache evicts blobs, Bazel will exit with code 39.
+  - `--features` only applies to targets built in the target
+    configuration, and `--host_features` is used for the host / exec
+    configuration (gated behind `--incompatible_use_host_features`)
+  - `--incompatible_strict_conflict_checks` is flipped to true. See
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16729 for details.
+
+New features:
+
+  - The `aquery` and `cquery` commands now respect the
+    `--query_file` flag just like the `query` command.
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - The new path variable `$(rlocationpath ...)` and its plural form
+    `$(rlocationpaths ...)` can be used to expand labels to the paths
+    accepted by the `Rlocation` function of runfiles libraries. This
+    is the preferred way to access data dependencies at runtime and
+    works on all platforms, even when runfiles are not enabled (e.g.,
+    on Windows by default).
+  - Starlark `print()` statements are now emitted iff the line of
+    code is executed. They are no longer replayed on subsequent
+    invocations unless the Starlark code is re-executed.
+    Additionally, multiple identical `print()` statements (same
+    string from the same line of code, e.g. from a loop) are all
+    emitted and no longer deduplicated.
+  - Fixes a bug where some compilation flags would not be applied to
+    a cc_test
+  - removed outdated ctx.host_fragments
+  - removed outdated ctx.host_configuration
+  - Now that the host configuration is finished, `genrule` should
+    prefer the use of `tools` and stop using `exec_tools`.
+  - Added a `native.package_relative_label()` function, which
+    converts a label string to a Label object in the context of the
+    calling package, in contrast to `Label()`, which does so in the
+    context of the current .bzl file. Both functions now also accept
+    relative labels such as `:foo`, and are idempotent.
+  - Update Android manifest merger to v30.1.3, and also drop support
+    for legacy (pre-D8) desugaring.
+  - Adds coverage metric support to android_local_test
+  - Correctly encode double value positive infinity as "inf" instead
+    of "+inf" for textprotos.
+  - Add --use_target_platform_for_tests which uses the target
+    platform for executing tests instead of the execution platform.
+  - Custom C++ rules on Windows calling
+    cc_common.create_linking_context_from_compilation_outputs should
+    review whether each target of the rule type should produce a
+    dynamic library since a condition which blocked their creation
+    has been moved to the rules from behind the API.
+  - Add flag `--experimental_remote_cache_ttl` and set the default
+    value to 3 hours.

+Incompatible changes:
+
+  - Bazel no longer increases the delay between progress updates when
+    there is no cursor control.
+  - `--incompatible_always_include_files_in_data` is flipped
+    to true. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16654 for
+    details.
+  - `cquery --output=files` also outputs source files.
+    
+    Closes #16602.
+  - `--incompatible_strict_conflict_checks` is flipped to true. See
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16729 for details.
+  - This changes the behavior of Python version in exec/host
+    configuration. Mitigation is to set Python version on the targets.
+  - `--features` only applies to targets built in the target
+    configuration, and `--host_features` is used for the host / exec
+    configuration (gated behind `--incompatible_use_host_features`)
+    
+    Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/13839
+    
+    Closes #16626.
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - The new path variable `$(rlocationpath ...)` and its plural form
+    `$(rlocationpaths ...)` can be used to expand labels to the paths
+    accepted by the `Rlocation` function of runfiles libraries. This
+    is the preferred way to access data dependencies at runtime and
+    works on all platforms, even when runfiles are not enabled (e.g.,
+    on Windows by default).
+    
+    Work towards #16124
+    Fixes #10923
+    
+    Closes #16428.
+  - Starlark `print()` statements are now emitted iff the line of
+    code is executed. They are no longer replayed on subsequent
+    invocations unless the Starlark code is re-executed.
+    Additionally, multiple identical `print()` statements (same
+    string from the same line of code, e.g. from a loop) are all
+    emitted and no longer deduplicated.
+  - Fixes a bug where some compilation flags would not be applied to
+    a cc_test
+  - Added a `native.package_relative_label()` function, which
+    converts a label string to a Label object in the context of the
+    calling package, in contrast to `Label()`, which does so in the
+    context of the current .bzl file. Both functions now also accept
+    relative labels such as `:foo`, and are idempotent.

+  - When multiple --deleted_packages options are passed on the
+    command line, they will be concatenated instead of the latest one
+    taking effect.
+  - This has the side effect of changing the message on unsuccessful
+    builds from
+  - JSON profile: Use doubles instead of strings for counter series.
+  - query --output=proto --order_output=deps now returns targets in
+    topological order (previously there was no ordering).
+  - --experimental_build_transitive_python_runfiles is flipped to
+    false. See #16303 for details
+  - --incompatible_python_disable_py2 is flipped to true. See #17293
+    for details.
+  - When remote cache evicts blobs, Bazel will exit with code 39.
+  - `--features` only applies to targets built in the target
+    configuration, and `--host_features` is used for the host / exec
+    configuration (gated behind `--incompatible_use_host_features`)
+
+New features:
+
+  - The `aquery` and `cquery` commands now respect the
+    `--query_file` flag just like the `query` command.
+
+Important changes:

+    `$(rlocationpaths ...)` can be used to expand labels to the paths
+    accepted by the `Rlocation` function of runfiles libraries. This

+  - Fixes a bug where some compilation flags would not be applied to
+    a cc_test
+  - removed outdated ctx.host_fragments
+  - removed outdated ctx.host_configuration
+  - Now that the host configuration is finished, `genrule` should
+    prefer the use of `tools` and stop using `exec_tools`.
+  - Added a `native.package_relative_label()` function, which
+    converts a label string to a Label object in the context of the
+    calling package, in contrast to `Label()`, which does so in the
+    context of the current .bzl file. Both functions now also accept
+    relative labels such as `:foo`, and are idempotent.
+  - Update Android manifest merger to v30.1.3, and also drop support
+    for legacy (pre-D8) desugaring.
+  - Adds coverage metric support to android_local_test
+  - Correctly encode double value positive infinity as "inf" instead
+    of "+inf" for textprotos.
+  - Add --use_target_platform_for_tests which uses the target
+    platform for executing tests instead of the execution platform.
+  - Custom C++ rules on Windows calling
+    cc_common.create_linking_context_from_compilation_outputs should
+    review whether each target of the rule type should produce a
+    dynamic library since a condition which blocked their creation
+    has been moved to the rules from behind the API.
