   + 0f3481ba6364f24ef76b839bdde06ae7883c9bd9:

Incompatible changes:

  - The --output=location flag to 'bazel query' cannot be used with
    query expressions that involve the 'buildfiles' or 'loadfiles'
    operators. This also applies to 'genquery' rules.
  - Operators for equality, comparison, 'in' and 'not in' are no
    longer associative, e.g.  x < y < z  is now a syntax error.
    Before, it was parsed as:  (x < y) < z.
  - In strings, octal sequences greater than \377 are now forbidden
    (e.g. "\\600"). Previously, Blaze had the same behavior as Python 2,
    where "\\450" == "\050".
  - Using tabulation for identation is now fobidden in .bzl files
  - `load` is now a language keyword, it cannot be used as an
    identifier
  - lvalues must have define at least one variable (i.e. we forbid
    `[] = f()`).
  - Fixed a bug whereby multiple load() statements could appear on
    the same line
  - -extra_checks:off is no longer supported; use
    -XepDisableAllChecks instead
  - java_common.java_toolchain_attr is removed. Depend on the
    java_toolchain_alias() rule to accomplish the same thing.
  - cc_common.cc_toolchain_attr and java_common.java_runtime_attr are
    not supported anymore and were replaced with the
    cc_toolchain_alias() and java_runtime_alias() rules.

New features:

  - Zipped LLVM profiles are now supported.
  - LIPO maps to ThinLTO for LLVM builds.
  - Change to handle LLVM FDO zipped profile contents correctly.

Important changes:

  - Windows: bazel clean --expunge works
  - First argument of 'load' should be a label. Path syntax is
    deprecated (label should start with '//' or ':').
  - Octal prefix '0' is deprecated in favor of '0o' (use 0o777
    instead of 0777).
  - The extension_safe attribute of apple_binary no longer validates
    transitive dependencies are compiled against extension_safe APIs.
  - Parentheses around the tuple are now mandatory in [a for b in c
    if 1, 2]
  - Adjust the thresholds for --test_verbose_timeout_warnings so that
    it can recommending timeout increases and won't recommend
    timeouts that are too close to the actual timeout.
  - Iterating on a `depset` object is deprecated. If you need an
    iterable, call the `.to_list()` method first.
  - Bazel now uses tools from action_configs in Crosstool by default
    (as oposed to using top level tools).
  - Incremental dexing errors on combination of --multidex=off and
    either --main-dex-list or --minimal-main-dex.
  - When using the dictionary literal syntax, it is now an error to
    have duplicated keys (e.g.  {'ab': 3, 'ab': 5}).
  - New property on android_sdk: aapt2
      Choose the version of aapt on android_binary
  - Add idl_preprocessed attribute to android_library, so that
    preprocessed aidl files can be passed to android_library for
    compiling
  - Bazel's remote_worker backend for remote execution supports
    sandboxing on Linux now. Check
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/tools/remote_w
    orker/README.md for details.
  - Allows flags that expand to take values.
  - Make querying attributes formed by selector lists of list types
    more efficient by no longer listing every possible combination of
    attribute value but by more compactly storing the possible values
    of the list.
  - Writing build events to a file is no longer experimental
  - set --rewrite_calls_to_long_compare to false by default.
  - ObjC and C++ coverage feature is unified under name 'coverage'
  - Enable --incremental_dexing for Android builds by default. Note
    that some dexopts are incompatible with incremental dexing,
    including --force-jumbo.
  - Evaluation will soon use checked arithmetics and throw an error
    instead of overflow/underflow.
  - Implicit iteration in the CROSSTOOL has been removed, use
    explicit 'iterate_over' message.
  - Add option for Android specific grte_top
  - Crosstool patches are only applied if the toolchain doesn't define
    'no_legacy_features' feature.
  - 'platform_type' is now a mandatory attribute on apple_binary and
    apple_static_library rules.
    If this change breaks your build, feel free to add platform_type
    = 'ios' to any apple_binary and apple_static_library
    targets in your project, as this was the previous default
    behavior.
  - Remove apple_watch2_extension build rule. Users should be using
    the skylark watchos_application and watchos_extension rules.
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_apple has details.
  - Check stderr to detect if connected to a terminal.  Deprecate
    --isatty.
  - Commands that shut down the server (like "shutdown") now ensure
    that the server process has terminated before the client process
    terminates.
  - Remove apple_watch1_extension and apple_watch_extension_binary
    rules. Users should be using the skylark watchos_application and
    watchos_extension rules.
    https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_apple has details.
  - Windows: Wrapper-less CROSSTOOL becomes default now.
    set USE_MSVC_WRAPPER=1 if you still want to use wrapper script.
