+
+New features:
+
+ - New $(DUMPBIN) make variable is now available for Visual Studio
+ toolchains.
+
+Important changes:
+
+ - The result of `canonicalize-flags` now includes all Starlark
+ flags by default. Use `--noexperimental_include_default_values`
+ for the old behavior that only reports Starlark flags with
+ non-default values.
+ - Added `windows_quoting_for_param_files` feature for windows-style

+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+ - Coverage report generators don't get anymore the JAVA_RUNFILES
+ and PYTHON_RUNFILES environment variables.
+ - apple_cc_toolchain rule was removed, use regular cc_toolchain
+ - "bazel query" and "bazel print_action" can't run under the output
+ base anymore.
+ - The Starlark methods copts, generate_linkmap, should_strip_binary
+ in objc fragment have been deleted. Please use the equivalent
+ methods
+ objccopts, objc_generate_linkmap, objc_should_strip_binary in cpp
+ fragments
+ instead.
+
+New features:
+
+ - Bazel now respects `expires` from Credential Helpers.
+
+Important changes:
+
+ - Added a new method, `repository_ctx.watch()`, which asks Bazel to
+ watch for changes to an arbitrary file. When said file changes,
+ Bazel will refetch the repo.
+ - `genrule` now supports setting `stamp = -1` to request
+ conditional stamping (based on the value of the build's `--stamp`
+ flag).

+ - The scheme for generating canonical repository names has changed

+ updates. Note that canonical names are not considered to be
+ public API and can change at any time. See
+ https://bazel.build/external/module#repository_names_and_strict_de
