v0.6.0

Note

Use v0.6.1 instead - this release failed to publish to the BCR.

Highlights

• buf v1.75.0 by default. The default buf version moves from v1.47.2 to v1.75.0 (#166). Newer buf versions can report different lint and breaking-change results, so pin a version with buf.toolchains(version = "...") if you need to stay on an older one.
• More host platforms. The buf toolchain now downloads on FreeBSD and OpenBSD (amd64 and arm64, buf v1.67.0+), Linux armv7 (buf v1.47.0+), and Linux riscv64 (buf v1.54.0+) (#166).
• Proto rules load from protobuf. buf_lint_test and buf_breaking_test now load ProtoInfo and the proto toolchain from @com_google_protobuf instead of the archived rules_proto (#167).
• Gazelle 0.54. Gazelle now generates proto_library loads from protobuf's bazel/proto_library.bzl instead of @rules_proto//proto:defs.bzl (#170). Expect a one-time diff in your BUILD files the next time you run Gazelle.

Fixes

• buf_lint_test and buf_breaking_test no longer fail during analysis with 'NoneType' value has no field or method 'proto' when --incompatible_enable_proto_toolchain_resolution is enabled (#167). This fix applies to Bazel modules. WORKSPACE projects that resolve rules_proto 7.0.x still hit it.
• In module mode, the generated buf_breaking_test no longer lists targets for .proto files in directories Gazelle skips (.bazelignore and REPO.bazel ignore_directories entries, # gazelle:exclude paths, .git) (#171, fixes #133).
• The Gazelle extension no longer panics with a nil pointer dereference when the proto language isn't loaded (#148, fixes #147).

Minimum version changes

Bazel modules (MODULE.bazel) now resolve at least these versions of:

Module	Previous minimum	New minimum
gazelle	0.40.0	0.54.0
platforms	0.0.10	1.1.0
rules_proto	7.0.2	7.1.0

rules_proto 7.1.0 makes @rules_proto//proto:toolchain_type an alias for protobuf's proto toolchain type, so toolchains registered against either label keep working.

WORKSPACE projects: the Gazelle extension now requires Gazelle 0.45.0 or later.
