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)
