+
+```
+Baseline:  d60ce2c7c86393638c77698c00c2168a7a936a53
+
+Release Notes:
+
++ **[Incompatible]** 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 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).
++ The `aquery` and `cquery` commands now respect the `--query_file` flag just like the `query` command.
++ **[Incompatible]** the --experimental_async_execution flag is now a no-op.
++ **[Incompatible]** --experimental_replay_action_out_err is not a no-op.
++ **[Incompatible]** `cquery --output=files` also outputs source files.
++ removed outdated ctx.host_fragments
++ **[Incompatible]** When multiple --deleted_packages options are passed on the command line, they will be concatenated instead of the latest one taking effect.
++ removed outdated ctx.host_configuration
++ **[Incompatible]** JSON profile: Use doubles instead of strings for counter series.
++ Now that the host configuration is finished, `genrule` should prefer the use of `tools` and stop using `exec_tools`.
++ **[Incompatible]** --experimental_build_transitive_python_runfiles is flipped to false. See #16303 for details
++ **[Incompatible]** --incompatible_python_disable_py2 is flipped to true. See #17293 for details.
++ Update Android manifest merger to v30.1.3, and also drop support for legacy (pre-D8) desugaring.
++ Correctly encode double value positive infinity as "inf" instead of "+inf" for textprotos.
++ **[Incompatible]** When remote cache evicts blobs, Bazel will exit with code 39.
++ Add --use_target_platform_for_tests which uses the target platform for executing tests instead of the execution platform.
++ **[Incompatible]** `--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`)
++ 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"
++ **[Incompatible]** Bazel's local CPU resource on Linux is now container aware. Use `--local_cpu_resources`, `--loading_phase_threads` or `--jobs` to override.
++ 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.
++ **[Incompatible]** `copy_from_rule` is exec_groups is deprecated (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/17668).
++ cc_shared_library is no longer experimental, see https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16709 for details
++ **[Incompatible]** --legacy_bazel_java_test is now a no-op
++ The flag `--distinct_host_configuration` is removed. It has been a no-op since Bazel 6.0.0.
++ Add `--skip_incompatible_explicit_targets` option
++ **[Incompatible]** `--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
++ **[Incompatible]** Remove 'darwin' as a CPU value, use 'darwin_x86_64' instead
++ cc_test can now be configured by using a native.toolchain().
++ 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`
++ **[Incompatible]** Remove high priority workers functionality from blaze.
++ [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`
++ 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.
++ `--experimental_remote_grpc_log` has been renamed to `--remote_grpc_log`
++ `--incompatible_remote_build_event_upload_respect_no_cache` is now a no-op.
++ 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.
++ --experimental_repository_disable_download is now promoted to stable and is also available under the name --repository_disable_download .
++ `applicable_licenses` is no longer allowed on the `platform` rule. Additionally, `default_package_metadata` from any `package` rule will not be applied.
++ **[Incompatible]** Duplicates in <rule-inputs> when using `query --output=xml --aspect_deps=precise` are removed. Added flag `--proto:include_attribute_source_aspects` that will include a new field `source_aspect_name` to the `Attribute` message that indicates the source aspect that the attribute comes from.
++ Options specified on the pseudo-command `common` in `.rc` files are now ignored by commands that do not support them as long as they are valid options for *any* Bazel command. Previously, commands that did not support all options given for `common` would fail to run. These previous semantics of `common` are now available via the new `always` pseudo-command.
++ **[Incompatible]** `--incompatible_check_sharding_support` is enabled by default. Sharded tests with test runners that do not properly advertise support for test sharding will fail. Refer to https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/18339 for migration advice.
++ the 'default' param of json.decode can now be used as a keyword parameter.
++ As a transitional step in a larger refactoring, rule transitions are applied twice. Once during dependency resolution and once right before analysis of those rules. After the refactoring is complete, rule transitions will be applied only once.
++ Add aquery --output=streamed_proto which writes a stream of length delimited ActionGraphContainer containing a single Artifact, Action, Target, DepSetOfFiles, Configuration, AspectDescriptor, RuleClass, PathFragment proto. This breaks up the ActionGraphContainer into multiple which will prevent large protos from crashing blaze.
++ (BEP) TargetConfigured events will be marked aborted instead of published when there is an analysis error. This is motivated by a low level Blaze change aimed at improving scalability.
++ **[Incompatible]** cc_binary targets with dynamic_deps attributes no longer link indirect dynamic_deps on Unix. This might be an incompatible change if you are using RUNPATHs (instead of RPATHs) in your cc_shared_libraries. Enable the feature "exclude_bazel_rpaths_in_transitive_libs" or "use_rpath_instead_of_runpath" for those cc_shared_libraries.
++ Enable starlark_doc_extract - a native rule for Starlark documentation extraction. This rule is intended mainly for internal use by Stardoc.
++ **[Incompatible]** Remove deprecated and unused `--experimental_show_artifacts` flag.
++ Added the target path of an UnresolvedSymlink action to the aquery results
++ Additional source inputs can now be specified for compilation in cc_library targets using the additional_compiler_inputs attribute, and these inputs can be used in the $(location) function.
++ More descriptive error messages for unexpected cc absolute includes; unexpected absolute includes for cc compiles shouldn't be reported as "undeclared inclusion(s)"
++ Enable C++ branch coverage if gcov version is 8 or newer.
++ Deduplicates the result of split transitions uniformly, regardless of whether they are Starlark or native transitions. This used to apply only if either the attribute or rule transition contained a Starlark transition.
++ Support for optimizers rewriting baseline profiles.
++ This is a breaking change. `cc_host_toolchain_alias` rule is obsolete and can be interchangeably used with `cc_toolchain_alias` rule.
++ Fixes non-ascii arguments written to parameter files as mojibake.
++ NA
++ The `genrule` attribute `exec_tools` will be removed in a future Bazel release. Please follow directions at #19132 to migrate away from it.
++ **[Incompatible]** Removed multi_arch_split, use transition_support.apple_platform_split_transition from rules_apple instead.
++ Supports for android_binary.startup_profiles attribute.
++ **[Incompatible]** Removed apple_crosstool_transition, use transition_support.apple_rule_transition from rules_apple instead.
++ **[Incompatible]** Drop deprecated 'transitive_deps', 'transitive_runtime_deps' from JavaInfo
++ **[Incompatible]** The --android_include_proguard_location_references flag is not supported anymore.
++ **[Incompatible]** The --apple_compiler command line option is not available anymore.
++ `rule()` and `attr.*` can no longer be (pointlessly) called during WORKSPACE evaluation and repository rule evaluation.
++ Expands baseline profile wildcards before optimizer tools see them.
++ **[Incompatible]** --no_proguard_location_reference is now added unconditionally to the command line of aapt2.
++ **[Incompatible]** The command line flag --apple_enable_auto_dsym_dbg is not supported anymore.
++ **[Incompatible]** The --apple_compiler command line option is not available anymore.
++ **[Incompatible]** py_transitions top-level was removed.
++ Android resources will no longer propagate through neverlinked libraries by default.
++ Set Android Databinding to v2 and Databinging AndroidX to true and remove support for Databinding V1.
++ Added whether or not a FileWrite action's output is executable to the aquery results
++ --use_single_jar_apk_builder is removed. It's been a no-op for years.
++ **[Incompatible]** --incompatible_merge_fixed_and_default_shell_env is flipped to true. See #19317 for details.
++ JVM options in environment variables JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS and JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS now do not get to the server; use --host_jvm_args instead.
++ --remote_download_minimal no longer implies --nobuild_runfile_links.
++ attr objects in Starlark now use value equality rather than reference equality.
++ **[Incompatible]** `cmd_helper` module was removed
++ **[Incompatible]** `ctx.new_file` was removed, `ctx.actions.declare_file` is to be used instead.
++ **[Incompatible]** Fails on unknown attributes (even when set to None). See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/19403
++ Change output paths to consistently start with [cpu]-[compilation_mode] along with other cleanups to output path generation logic.
++ Compilation actions using the auto-configured MSVC toolchain are forced to emit error messages in English if the English language pack for Visual Studio is installed.
++ **[Incompatible]** Flip incompatible_enable_cc_toolchain_resolution (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/7260)
++ The new `--consistent_labels` option on `query`, `cquery`, and `aquery` can be used to force consistent label formatting across all output modes that is also compatible with `str(Label(...))` in Starlark.
++ **[Incompatible]** proto_compiler attribute removed from proto_lang_toolchain (it was recently introduced, and there is no evidence of use)
++ **[Incompatible]** --experimental_genquery_use_graphless_query is made to be a NO-OP.
++ **[Incompatible]** The --call_count_output_path command line option is not supported anymore.
++ **[Incompatible]** The no-op --dynamic_worker_strategy command line option is no available anymore.

++ default_applicable_licenses in package() now applies to the entire BUILD file, regardless of where in the BUILD that package() is called.
++ **[Incompatible]** The --incompatible_load_cc_rules_from_bzl command line option is not available anymore.
++ **[Incompatible]** The --incompatible_display_source_file_location command line option is not available anymore.
++ **[Incompatible]** The --experimental_repository_hash_file and --experimental_verify_repository_rules command line options are not available anymore.

++ **[Incompatible]** The --show_warnings command line option of the command "canonicalize-flags" is not available anymore.
++ **[Incompatible]** The command line option --remove_all_convenience_symlinks is not available anymore.
++ **[Incompatible]** java_test doesn't produce deploy jars anymore
++ **[Incompatible]** The lazy template expansion is not experimental anymore (--experimental_lazy_template_expansion command line option is not available anymore).
++ **[Incompatible]** The --incompatible_disallow_legacy_javainfo command line option is not available anymore.
++ **[Incompatible]** The --incompatible_remove_cpu_and_compiler_attributes_from_cc_toolchain command line option is not available anymore. Using the "cpu" and "compiler" options of the cc_toolchain rule now results in a slightly different error that is signaled earlier.
++ **[Incompatible]** THe --incompatible_force_strict_header_check_from_starlark command line option is not available anymore.
++ **[Incompatible]** --incompatible_visibility_private_attributes_at_definition is flipped to true. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/19330 for details.

++ **[Incompatible]** The no-op --experimental_cpp_compile_argv_ignore_param_file command line option is not available anymore.
++ Make variable expansion of `objc_library` produces better error messages.
++ **[Incompatible]** rule function takes only implementation function positionally, other parameters have to be named
++ **[Incompatible]** The --incompatible_genquery_use_graphless_query command line options is not available anymore.
++ Added support for a new directive `use_repo_rule` in MODULE.bazel files, which allows you to conveniently declare repos that are only visible within your module.
++ Bazel now throws an error if the root module specifies overrides on nonexistent modules.
++ Fix includes attribute of `objc_library` when sibling repository layout is used.
++ Directories used by sandboxed non-worker execution may be reused to avoid unnecessary setup costs. Disable behavior with --noreuse_sandbox_directories.
++ **[Incompatible]** The sandboxfs sandboxing strategy is removed. It hadn't been maintained for a long time, it didn't work for most users and it was not consistently faster while being complex to set up. sandboxfs performance is heavily dependent on the specific setup (setup costs are lower, but you have to pay a penalty for the use of each input) and there are scenarios where it is faster and scenarios where it is slower. Overall it is not worth its weight.
++ Symlink trees created by sandboxing will be deleted asynchronously. Disable behavior with --experimental_sandbox_async_tree_delete_idle_threads=0.
++ **[Incompatible]** Bzlmod is enabled by default, please consider migrating your external dependencies from WORKSPACE to MODULE.bazel. Find more details at https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/18958
++ Enable Platforms and Toolchains for Android. Android projects will need to stop passing the legacy flag `--fat_apk_cpu`, and instead use `--android_platforms` using platforms defined with the `@platforms//os:android` constraint. The https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_android repository defines four standard Android platforms for projects that use those rules, `@rules_android//:armeabi-v7a`, `@rules_android//:arm64-v8a`, `@rules_android//:x86`, `@rules_android//:x86_64`.
++ **[Incompatible]** Java runtime toolchains created via `local_java_repository` from `@bazel_tools//tools/jdk:local_java_repository.bzl`, which includes `local_jdk`, now have `target_compatible_with` set to the auto-detected host constraints. This can result in errors about toolchain resolution failures for `@bazel_tools//tools/jdk:runtime_toolchain_type`, especially when cross-compiling. These failures can be fixed in the following ways (listed in decreasing order of preference): * Replace `java_binary` targets that aren't meant to be run with `bazel run` or as tools during the build with `java_single_jar` (available in `@rules_java//java:java_single_jar.bzl`). Such targets do not require a Java runtime for the target configuration. * Set `--java_runtime_version=remotejdk_N` for some Java version `N` to let Bazel choose and download an appropriate remote JDK for the current target platform. This setting defaults to `local_jdk`, which means that Bazel can only use the local JDK, which isn't compatible with any other platform. * Manually define and register a `local_java_runtime` with no value set for `exec_compatible_with` (defaults to `[]`) and select it by setting `--java_runtime_version` to its `name`. This fully restores the previous behavior, but can result in incorrect results when cross-compiling (see #18265). Closes #18262.

++ **[Incompatible]** The attribute `new_local_repository.build_file` no longer accepts a path; a label must be passed instead. Closes #19992. Commit https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/76d71d93c5baa233bd1dca3f2862eebe827a1eb4
++ **[Incompatible]** Delete the --experimental_execution_log_file flag. Use --execution_log_binary_file in conjunction with --noexecution_log_sort instead.
++ **[Incompatible]** transition is removed from objc_library (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/19688) (cherry picked from commit b4292d2ee1154c15d1f099b3e8941c3c448725ba) Co-authored-by: Googler <ilist@google.com>
++ **[Incompatible]** All labels in Bazel error messages, log output, Build Event Protocol, etc. are now prefixed with double-at (`@@`) instead of single-at (`@`) where applicable, to properly denote that they contain canonical repo names.
++ None. Commit https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/491284b0c782e0df25dd0a8bc921a9c2de0e6881
++ **[Incompatible]** `--incompatible_sandbox_hermetic_tmp` is enabled by default. See #19915 for migration advice. Closes #19943. Commit https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/e2c0276d1fd69c19d6946fb17f9e983e9ea68025
++ **[Incompatible]** The `--experimental_repository_cache_urls_as_default_canonical_id` flag is no longer available. Instead, the `http_archive`, `http_file`, `http_jar`, `jvm_maven_import_external`, and `jvm_import_external` repository rules now use the URLs as the canonical ID if none is provided explicitly. If this behavior is not desired, it can be disabled via `--repo_env=BAZEL_HTTP_RULES_URLS_AS_DEFAULT_CANONICAL_ID=0`. Fixes #19749 Closes #20047.

++ **[Incompatible]** The `BAZEL_CURRENT_REPOSITORY` preprocessor variable, which holds the canonical name of the Bazel repository containing a `cc_*` target, is now only set during compilation if the target depends on the C/C++ runfiles library `@bazel_tools//tools/cpp/runfiles` via `deps` or `implementation_deps`. Fixes #20371 Closes #20388. Commit https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/454b5506d82584616fcd707ed2e9bd1fe627c974

+    targets do not require a Java runtime for the target
+    configuration.
+    * Set `--java_runtime_version=remotejdk_N` for some Java version
+    `N` to let Bazel choose and download an appropriate remote JDK
+    for the current target platform. This setting defaults to
+    `local_jdk`, which means that Bazel can only use the local JDK,
+    which isn't compatible with any other platform.
+    * Manually define and register a `local_java_runtime` with no
+    value set for `exec_compatible_with` (defaults to `[]`) and
+    select it by setting `--java_runtime_version` to its `name`. This
+    fully restores the previous behavior, but can result in incorrect
+    results when cross-compiling (see #18265).
+  - transition is removed from objc_library
+    (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/19688)
+
+New features:
+
+  - "bazel aquery" now returns the headers C++ compilation actions
+    can include if the --include_scheduling_dependencies command line
+    option is set.
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - Enable Platforms and Toolchains for Android. Android projects
+    will need to stop passing the legacy flag `--fat_apk_cpu`, and
+    instead use `--android_platforms` using platforms defined with
+    the `@platforms//os:android` constraint. The
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_android repository defines
+    four standard Android platforms for projects that use those
+    rules, `@rules_android//:armeabi-v7a`,
+    `@rules_android//:arm64-v8a`, `@rules_android//:x86`,
+    `@rules_android//:x86_64`.

+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+  - The sandboxfs sandboxing strategy is removed. It hadn't been
+    maintained for a long time, it didn't work for most users and it
+    was not consistently faster while being complex to set up.
+    sandboxfs performance is heavily dependent on the specific setup
+    (setup costs are lower, but you have to pay a penalty for the use
+    of each input) and there are scenarios where it is faster and
+    scenarios where it is slower. Overall it is not worth its weight.
+  - Bzlmod is enabled by default, please consider migrating your
+    external dependencies from WORKSPACE to MODULE.bazel. Find more
+    details at https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/18958
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - Directories used by sandboxed non-worker execution may be reused
+    to
+    avoid unnecessary setup costs. Disable behavior with
+    --noreuse_sandbox_directories.
+  - Symlink trees created by sandboxing will be deleted
+    asynchronously.
+    Disable behavior with
+    --experimental_sandbox_async_tree_delete_idle_threads=0.
