  - 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.

    builds from
    ```
    FAILED: Build did NOT complete successfully (0 packages loaded)

  - 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.
  - Renamed PackageMetrics proto message to PackageLoadMetrics. The
    formats should be wire compatible.

New features:

  - The `aquery` and `cquery` commands now respect the
    `--query_file` flag just like the `query` command.
  - --experimental_repository_disable_download is now promoted to
    stable and is also available under the name
    --repository_disable_download .

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.
  - 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.
  - 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.
  - Overrides specified by non-root modules no longer cause an error,
    and are silently ignored instead. They were originally treated as
    an error to allow for the future possibility of overrides in the
    transitive dependency graph working together; but we've deemed
    that infeasible (and even if it was, it'd be so complicated and
    confusing to users that it would not be a good addition).
