Introduction
Announcements
During last year’s BazelCon keynote, we issued a challenge: “Let us organize BazelCon together!” We were thrilled when community members from Aspect.build, BuildBuddy, EngFlow, Gradle, Salesforce, and Tweag took us up on this offer. Over the past few months, we've been working together to make this vision a reality.
Announcements
Master branch vs Google branch The Bazel IntelliJ plugin has had two main branches (master and google) for almost two years now. We created this structure to more easily accept contributions from the community, including those that are not too applicable or relevant for Google.
Bazel 7.0 has been released!
Last month, we hosted BazelCon 2023 in Munich, Germany, marking the first-ever BazelCon in Europe.
Many rules in the Bazel ecosystem have migrated to using the platforms and toolchains systems. We're excited to announce that, as of Bazel 7.0, the built-in Android rules are joining this group.
Announcements
After the many improvements made over past years, we have recently turned on Build without the Bytes by default - the first release to include this change will be the upcoming Bazel 7 LTS.
