{#v0-40-removed}

Removed

• (publish) Remove deprecated requirements.txt for the twine dependencies.

• (python_repository) Use bazel's built in zstd support and remove attributes
  for customizing the zstd binary to be used for zstd archives in the
  {bzl:obj}python_repository repository_rule. This affects the
  {bzl:obj}python_register_toolchains and
  {bzl:obj}python_register_multi_toolchains callers in the WORKSPACE.

v0.39.0

Compare Source

{#v0-39-0-changed}

Changed

• (deps) bazel_skylib 1.6.1 -> 1.7.1
• (deps) rules_cc 0.0.9 -> 0.0.14
• (deps) protobuf 24.4 -> 29.0-rc2
• (deps) rules_proto 6.0.0-rc1 -> 6.0.2
• (deps) stardoc 0.6.2 -> 0.7.1
• For bzlmod, Bazel 7.4 is now the minimum Bazel version.
• (toolchains) Use the latest indygreg toolchain release 20241016 for Python versions:
  • 3.9.20
  • 3.10.15
  • 3.11.10
  • 3.12.7
  • 3.13.0
• (pypi) The naming scheme for the bzlmod spoke repositories have changed as
  all of the given requirements.txt files are now parsed by default, to
  temporarily restore the behavior, you can use
  {bzl:obj}pip.parse.extra_hub_aliases, which will be removed or made noop in
  the future.

{#v0-39-0-fixed}

Fixed

• (precompiling) Skip precompiling (instead of erroring) if the legacy
  @bazel_tools//tools/python:autodetecting_toolchain is being used
  (#​2364).

{#v0-39-0-added}

Added

• Bazel 8 is now supported.
• (toolchain) Support for freethreaded Python toolchains is now available. Use
  the config flag //python/config_settings:py_freethreaded to toggle the
  selection of the free-threaded toolchains.
• (toolchain) {obj}py_runtime.abi_flags attribute and
  {obj}PyRuntimeInfo.abi_flags field added.

{#v0-39-0-removed}

Removed

• Support for Bazel 6 using bzlmod has been dropped.

{#v0-38-0}

v0.38.0

Compare Source

{#v0-38-0-changed}

Changed

• (deps) (WORKSPACE only) rules_cc 0.0.13 and protobuf 27.0 is now the default
  version used; this for Bazel 8+ support (previously version was rules_cc 0.0.9
  and no protobuf version specified)
  (2310).
• (publish) The dependencies have been updated to the latest available versions
  for the twine publishing rule.
• (whl_library) Remove --no-build-isolation to allow non-hermetic sdist builds
  by default. Users wishing to keep this argument and to enforce more hermetic
  builds can do so by passing the argument in
  pip.parse#extra_pip_args
• (pip.parse) {attr}pip.parse.whl_modifications now normalizes the given whl names
  and now pyyaml and PyYAML will both work.
• (bzlmod) pip.parse spoke repository naming will be changed in an upcoming
  release in places where the users specify different package versions per
  platform in the same hub repository. The naming of the spoke repos is
  considered an implementation detail and we advise the users to use the hub
  repository directly and make use of {bzl:obj}pip.parse.extra_hub_aliases
  feature added in this release.

{#v0-38-0-fixed}

Fixed

• (pypi) (Bazel 7.4+) Allow spaces in filenames included in whl_librarys
  (617).
• (pypi) When {attr}pip.parse.experimental_index_url is set, we need to still
  pass the extra_pip_args value when building an sdist.
• (pypi) The patched wheel filenames from now on are using local version specifiers
  which fixes usage of the said wheels using standard package managers.
• (bzlmod) The extension evaluation has been adjusted to always generate the
  same lock file irrespective if experimental_index_url is set by any module
  or not. To opt into this behavior, set
  {bzl:obj}pip.parse.parse_all_requirements_files, which will become the
  default in future releases leading up to 1.0.0. Fixes
  #​2268. A known
  issue is that it may break bazel query and in these use cases it is
  advisable to use cquery or switch to download_only = True

{#v0-38-0-added}

Added

• (publish) The requirements file for the twine publishing rules have been
  updated to have a new convention: requirements_darwin.txt,
  requirements_linux.txt, requirements_windows.txt for each respective OS
  and one extra file requirements_universal.txt if you prefer a single file.
  The requirements.txt file may be removed in the future.
• The rules_python version is now reported in //python/features.bzl#features.version
• (pip.parse) {attr}pip.parse.extra_hub_aliases can now be used to expose extra
  targets created by annotations in whl repositories.
  Fixes #​2187.
• (bzlmod) pip.parse now supports whl-only setup using
  download_only = True where users can specify multiple requirements files
  and use the pip backend to do the downloading. This was only available for
  users setting {bzl:obj}pip.parse.experimental_index_url, but now users have
  more options whilst we continue to work on stabilizing the experimental feature.
