Release 7.2.1rc2 (2024-06-21)

Bazel 7.2.1 is a patch LTS release. It is fully backward compatible with Bazel 7.0 and contains selected changes by the Bazel community and Google engineers.

Android

  • Replace //external:android/d8_jar_import with "@android_gmaven_r8//jar" (#22699)

External Deps

  • Fix crash on IOException in SingleExtensionEvalFunction (#22697)
  • You can now discard previous overrides for --override_repository and --override_module by specifying an empty path. For example, if --override_repository=myrepo=/foo is followed by --override_repository=myrepo=, then myrepo will not be overridden. (#22784)
  • Overlay files specified in source.json are now assumed to be under the overlay subdirectory. (#22823)
  • Fixed an issue with the WORKSPACE file still being evaluated when --noenable_workspace is set. (#22837)
