Release 7.4.0 (2024-10-22)

Bazel 7.4.0 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.

Configurability

  • Bazel now supports all characters in the rlocation and target paths of runfiles and can be run from workspaces with a space in their full path. (#​23912)

External Deps

  • Overrides in the root MODULE.bazel file are now ignored with --ignore_dev_dependency. (Overrides in non-root modules are already ignored.) (#​23550)
  • Repository rules instantiated in the same module extensions can now refer to each other by their extension-specified names in label attributes. (#​23585)
  • Bazel fetch and vendor command now supports --target_pattern_file for specifying target patterns. (#​23663)
  • Patches to the module file in single_version_override are now effective as long as the patch file lies in the root module. (#​23757)
  • override_repo and inject_repo can be used to override and inject repos in module extensions. (#​23938)
  • When using vendor mode, the vendor dir is automatically ignored while package loading (#​23919)

Remote Execution

  • Improve progress message in case there are no actions in flight, and display explicitly "no actions running" in that case. (#​23357)
  • Added support for using a remote cache that evicts blobs and doesn't have AC integrity check (e.g. HTTP cache). (#​23561)
  • Implemented disk cache garbage collection (#​23833)

C++ / Objective-C

  • The new cc_static_library rule produces a static library that bundles given targets and all their transitive dependencies. It has to be enabled via --experimental_cc_static_library. (#​23392)
  • Add conlyopts and cxxopts attributes to cc rules (#​23904)
  • Auto-load with language specific rules that're removed from Bazel with --incompatible_autoload_externally (#​23906)

Release Notes:

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)
+ 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)
+ Starlark command-line flags can now be referred to through `alias` targets. (#​22212)

ExternalDeps:
+ bzlmod `git_repository` now accepts the `strip_prefix` arg and passes it to the underlying `git_repository` call. (#​22137)
+ Added a new `include()` directive to `MODULE.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)
+ `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 the `update` 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)
+ `Label` instances passed to `print` or `fail` as positional arguments are now formatted with apparent repository names (optimized for human readability). (#​22460)
+ Changes to environment variables read via `getenv` now correctly invalidate module extensions. (#​22541)
+ Git merge conflicts in `MODULE.bazel.lock` files can be resolved automatically. See https://bazel.build/external/lockfile#automatic-resolution for the required setup. (#​22650)

OSS:
+ Bazel on Linux and BSD now respects the XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable instead of assuming that ~/.cache/bazel is writable. (#​21817)

Performance:
+ Paths in the Linux sandbox are now again identical to those outside the sandbox, even with `--incompatible_sandbox_hermetic_tmp`. (#​22407)

Remote-Exec:
+ The combined coverage report produced via `--combined_report=lcov` is now announced on the BES via the new `CoverageReport` event. (#​22327)
+ The compact and full execution logs now contain start times for spawns (if available). (#​22341)

Rules-CPP:
+ The default Unix C++ toolchain now supports the `parse_headers` feature to validate header files with `--process_headers_in_dependencies`. (#​22369)

Starlark-Interpreter:
+ Starlark `min` and `max` buitins now allow a `key` callback, similarly to `sorted`. (#​21960)
