Release 0.1.2 (2015-11-20)

Baseline: ee0ade3

  • 1e66ccd: RELNOTES: Symlink dirents of directories containing a
    file named
    "DONT_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS_WHEN_TRAVERSING_THIS_DIRECTORY_VIA
    _A_RECURSIVE_TARGET_PATTERN" will not be traversed
    for transitive target patterns. The motivation here is
    to allow directories that intentionally contain wonky
    symlinks (e.g. foo/bar -> foo) to opt out of being
    consumed by Blaze. For example, given
  • f5773fc: Set the ijar MAX_BUFFER_SIZE to 256 MB

New features:

  • java_library now supports the proguard_specs attribute for
    passing Proguard configuration up to Android (not Java) binaries.
  • http_file can specify "executable" to make the downloaded file
    runnable.
  • Debian and tar packaging is now supported
    (see tools/build_defs/pkg/README.md).
  • cpxx_builtin_include_directory specifications allow more
    flexibility.
  • accept %crosstool_top% in cxx_builtin_include_directory
  • android_binary now supports proguard_apply_mapping to re-use a
    previously generated proguard mapping.

Important changes:

  • remove webstatusserver (--use_webstatusserver).
  • Add support for objc textual headers, which will not be compiled
    when modules are enabled.
  • actoolzip, momczip and swiftstdlibtoolzip have all been made into
    bash scripts and have been renamed to actoolwrapper, momcwrapper
    and swiftstdlibtoolwrapper respectively. The old versions will be
    deleted in a later change.
  • [rust] Add rust_bench_test and rust_doc_test rules and improve
    usability of rust_test tule.
  • Java rules now support a resource_strip_prefix attribute that
    allows the removal of path prefixes from Java resources.
  • [docker_build] incremental loading is default now.
    Specify explicitly //package:target.tar (with the .tar extension)
    to obtain the full image.
  • --ios_signing_cert_name allows specifying a cert for iOS app
    signing
  • Go rules for Bazel.
  • [jsonnet] Update to Jsonnet 0.8.1.
  • [jsonnet] Add vars and code_vars attributes to jsonnet_to_json to
    allow passing external variables to Jsonnet via --var and
    --code_var.
  • Adds --override_workspace_root blaze flag to hand-set
    workspace_root and mainGroup in xcodeproj.
  • Allow dots in package names.
  • When used as a forwarding rule (i.e., has no sources),
    android_library
    will also forward any exported_plugins in its dependencies.
  • Add support for Windows-created zip files with non-posix
    permissions.
  • [jsonnet] Add jsonnet_to_json_test rule for testing Jsonnet code.
  • C++ compile actions run in a sandbox now on systems that support
    sandboxed execution.
  • The names of the clang compilers in the Android NDK crosstool no
    longer reference gcc.
  • 420 dpi is now a valid density for andoid_binary.densities.
  • Bazel does strict validation of include files now to ensure
    correct incremental builds. If you see compilation errors when
    building C++ code, please make sure that you explicitly declare
    all header files in the srcs or hdrs attribute of your cc_*
    targets and that your cc_* targets have correct "deps" on
    cc_library's that they use.
  • [jsonnet] Fix jsonnet_to_json rule to read code_vars from
    code_vars instead of vars.
  • Tests, genrules, and Skylark actions without the
    "requires-network" tag will no longer be able to access the
    network.
  • C++ libraries no longer need includes = ["."](or similar copts)
    to include paths relative to a remote repository's root.
  • Support exports attribute for android_library
  • Symlink dirents of directories containing a file named
    "DONT_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS_WHEN_TRAVERSING_THIS_DIRECTORY_VIA_A_RECURSI
    VE_TARGET_PATTERN" will not be traversed for transitive target
    patterns. The motivation here is to allow directories that
    intentionally contain wonky symlinks (e.g. foo/bar -> foo) to opt
    out of being consumed by Blaze.
