Release 7.2.0rc2 (2024-05-29)
Bazel 7.2.0 is a minor LTS release. It is fully backward compatible with Bazel 7.0 and contains selected changes by the Bazel community and Google engineers.
C++ / Objective-C
- The default Unix C++ toolchain now supports the
parse_headers
feature to validate header files with--process_headers_in_dependencies
. (#22369)
CLI
- Bazel on Linux and BSD now respects the XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable instead of assuming that ~/.cache/bazel is writable. (#21817)
Configurability
- aquery:
//foo:bar
now means "all configured targets with label//foo:bar
" instead of "choose an arbitrary configured target with label//foo:bar
". This is in line with cquery behavior. (#22135) - Starlark command-line flags can now be referred to through
alias
targets. (#22212)
External Deps
- Added a new flag
--incompatible_disable_native_repo_rules
to disable native repo rule usage in WORKSPACE. All native repo rules now have a Starlark counterpart that can be used in both WORKSPACE and Bzlmod; see #22080 for more details. (#22203) - The format for
MODULE.bazel.lock
is now less likely to result in merge conflicts and is updated incrementally, with only new files downloaded from registries and existing ones taken from the repository cache (if configured). (#22351) - Added a new
include()
directive toMODULE.bazel
files, which allows the root module file to be divided into multiple segments. (#22204) - Fixed certain deadlocks in repo fetching with worker threads (
--experimental_worker_for_repo_fetching=auto
). (#22261, #22573) - bzlmod
git_override
now accepts thestrip_prefix
arg and passes it to the underlyinggit_repository
call. (#22137) - The source.json file in registries now supports the overlay attribute in addition to patches. http_archive now has two more attributes, remote_file_urls and remote_file_integrity, to support this use case. (#22325, #22525)
print
statements in module files are now only executed for the root module and modules subject to non-registry overrides (e.g.local_path_override
). (#22263)- The new
refresh
value for--lockfile_mode
behaves like theupdate
mode, but additionally forces a refresh of mutable registry content (yanked versions and missing module versions) when switched to or from time to time while enabled. (#22371) bazel fetch
now more reliably fetches repos required for a build by triggering the analysis phase. (#21841)Label
instances passed toprint
orfail
as positional arguments are now formatted with apparent repository names (optimized for human readability). (#22460)- Changes to environment variables read via
mctx.getenv
now correctly invalidate module extensions. (#22541)
Local Execution
- Paths in the Linux sandbox are now again identical to those outside the sandbox, even with
--incompatible_sandbox_hermetic_tmp
. (#22407)
Remote Execution
- The combined coverage report produced via
--combined_report=lcov
is now announced on the BES via the newCoverageReport
event. (#22327) - The compact and full execution logs now contain start times for spawns (if available). (#22341)
- Added a new flag
--incompatible_modify_execution_info_additive
, which causes the--modify_execution_info
flag to become additive when specified multiple times. (#22316) - Added new flags
--experimental_remote_output_service
and--experimental_remote_output_service_output_path_prefix
for remote output service
Starlark / Build Language
- Starlark
min
andmax
buitins now allow akey
callback, similarly tosorted
. (#21960) native.package_relative_label
can now be used in rule initializers.
Refer to the full list of commits for more details.

Release 7.1.0 (2024-03-11)

Configurability
genrule
now supports settingstamp = -1
to request conditional stamping (based on the value of the build's--stamp
flag). (#21512)
External Deps
- Added a flag
--enable_workspace
(defaults toTrue
) that allows the user to completely disable WORKSPACE logic when turned off. We plan to change the default toFalse
with Bazel 8. (#20365) - Added new repo rule and module extension APIs to watch arbitrary files or directory trees: (#21435)
- New methods
repository_ctx.watch()
andmodule_ctx.watch()
allow changes to a path to trigger a refetch/re-evaluation of the repo/extension. - Several methods such as
repository_ctx.read()
andrepository_ctx.template()
gain a new watch parameter to allow them to watch for changes to the path in question. path.readdir()
now watches for changes under the directory by default.- New method
repository_ctx.watch_tree()
allows changes to anything transitively under a directory tree to trigger a repo refetch.
- New methods
- Added path.is_dir to detect whether a path points to a directory.
- Added a new method
repository_ctx.getenv
, which allows Starlark repository rules to declare environment variable dependencies during the fetch, instead of upfront usingrepository_rule.environ
. (#20944) - The flag
--experimental_worker_for_repo_fetching
now defaults toauto
, which uses virtual threads from JDK 21 if it's available. This eliminates restarts during repo fetching. (#21082) - The new
bazel mod tidy
subcommand automatically updatesuse_repo
calls in theMODULE.bazel
file for extensions that usemodule_ctx.extension_metadata
. (#21265) bazel mod dump_repo_mapping <canonical repo name>...
returns the repository mappings of the given repositories in NDJSON. This information can be used by IDEs and Starlark language servers to resolve labels with--enable_bzlmod
. (#21023)- Added
init_submodules
attribute togit_override
. Registries now support thegit_repository
type insource.json
. (#21036) - Bazel's Bash completion can now complete external repository labels when using
--enable_bzlmod
. (#21149) - Fixed
bazel fetch
by replacing query with cquery as underlying implementation (#21567, #13847). - The scheme for generating canonical repository names has changed to improve cacheability of actions across dependency version 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_deps for advice on how to avoid hardcoding canonical repository names. (#21316)
- Various methods and fields related to labels and repos are deprecated in favor of new options with clearer naming and intent. The deprecated APIs can be disabled by setting
--noincompatible_enable_deprecated_label_apis
. (#20977)native.repository_name()
is deprecated in favor of the newnative.repo_name()
.Label.workspace_name
is deprecated in favor of the newLabel.repo_name
.Label.relative()
is deprecated in favor of the newLabel.same_package_label()
alongside the existingnative.package_relative_label()
andLabel()
.
Performance
- Make Bazel's RAM estimate container aware (#20644)
- On Linux, Bazel's RAM estimate for the host machine is now aware of container resource limits.
- On macOS, Bazel no longer consistently overestimates the total RAM by ~5% (
1024^2/1000^2
). - On Windows, Bazel's RAM estimate is now generally more accurate as it is no longer influenced by JVM heuristics.
- Added a new --experimental_execution_log_compact_file flag to produce an execution log in a leaner format and with less runtime overhead. The //src/tools/execlog:converter tool may be used to convert it into one of the preexisting --execution_log_{json,binary}_file formats.
- Reduced the execution phase overhead for actions that create tree artifacts with a very large number of files (tens or hundreds of thousands).
- Made sandboxing and sandboxed workers faster. This is achieved by deleting files asynchronously, reusing runfiles, reducing copying and not stashing unnecessary tmp directories.
Python
- Fixed --incompatible_python_disallow_native_rules to work with targets at the top level (e.g. "//:foo") (#17773)
- rules_python version increased from 0.4.0 to 0.22.1 in bazel_tools builtin module.
Remote Execution
- Bazel now respects
expires
from Credential Helpers. (#21429)
