+New features:
+
+  - Materializer functions now have access to the label of the rule
+    they are running on as ctx.label .
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - Extra targets provided to `ctx.expand_location` now expand to
+    their executable (if any) instead of resulting in an error if
+    they provide a number of files different from one.
+    RELNOTES[INC]: The `--incompatible_locations_prefers_executable`
+    flag has been added and enabled, which makes it so that
+    `ctx.expand_location` expands `$(locations :x)` to the executable
+    of an extra target `:x` if it provides one and the number of
+    files provided by it is not one.
