+
+Important changes:
+
+  - `archive_override` now accepts all attributes usable with
+    `http_archive`; similar for `git_override` and `git_repository`.
+  - Fixed an issue where `genquery` in external repos would evaluate
+    labels as if they were in the main repo.
+  - Re-enable symbolic macro attribute inheritance.

+```
+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+  - Changing --test_env no longer invalidates the analysis cache.
+    `ctx.configuration.test_env` may be empty for non-test rules and
+    should not be used by such rules.
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - Add a set data type to Starlark, guarded by the
+    --experimental_enable_starlark_set flag.
+  - symbolic macro attribute inheritance is now marked experimental;
+    set --experimental_enable_macro_inherit_attrs flag to enable it.
+  - Changing any part of `--run_under` that isn't the label (such as
+    the shell command) no longer invalidates the analysis cache.
+  - The progress of completed configured aspects is now shown in the
+    UI, next to the number of completed targets. Example: "(100
+    packages loaded, 10000 targets and 500 aspects configured)".

+   + f8e1588bb3ae7f46ded713e129c6eff63d76d107:
+     Update `with_cfg.bzl` to v0.6.0
+```
+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+  - On Windows, a change to the output base locking protocol might
+    cause an older Bazel invoked immediately after a newer Bazel (on
+    the same output base) to error out instead of blocking for the
+    lock, even if --block_for_lock is enabled.
+  - The `--watchfs` startup option is now a no-op and will be removed
+    in April 2025. Use the `--watchfs` command option instead.
+  - The mnemonic passed to --worker_extra_flag is now matched against
+    the worker key mnemonic when one is available, instead of the
+    action mnemonic. This makes it consistent with other worker flags
+    taking a mnemonic.
+
+New features:
+
+  - The "blaze --quiet" command line option can now be used to make
+    Blaze emit much less output.
+  - REPO.bazel now allows another directive, "ignore_directories()".
+    It takes a list of directories to ignore just like .bazelignore
+    does, but with glob semantics.
+  - Commands executed by "bazel run" now have two extra environment
+    variables: $BUILD_ID indicates the id of the Bazel command and
+    $BUILD_EXECROOT indicates the execroot of the Bazel server.
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - The stripPrefix parameter of repository_ctx.download_and_extract()
+    and repository_ctx.extract() has been renamed to strip_prefix;
+    the deprecated
+    stripPrefix name remains usable for compatibility.
+  - A no-config transition is now available as `config.no_config()`.
+  - Actions that create runfiles trees are now considered regular
+    actions. This means that they are now reported in statistics,
+    critical paths and the like.
+  - External repositories that are managed by Bzlmod can now contain
+    a top-level `external` directory or package.
+  - `repository_ctx.execute` can now remove an environment variable
+    when executing a process by associating it with the value `None`
+    in the `environment` argument.
+  - Add inherit_attrs param to macro() to allow symbolic macros to
+    inherit attributes from rules or other symbolic macros.
+  - `bazel mod` now tries to evaluate all module extensions, even
+    when some have failed to evaluate.
+  - The new `--inject_repository` flag can be used to add new
+    repositories via the CLI with `--enable_bzlmod`. Such
+    repositories behave as if they were declared by
+    `local_repository` via `use_repo_rule` in the root module.
+  - symbolic macro attribute inheritance is now marked experimental;
+    set --experimental_enable_macro_inherit_attrs flag to enable it.

+## Release 7.4.1 (2024-11-11)
+
+```
+
+Release Notes:
+
+```
+
+## Release 9.0.0-pre.20241016.1 (2024-10-22)
+
+```
+Baseline: 253fedc5d5adbb6015735b31103be584e2125d5b
+```
+
+Incompatible changes:
+
+  - With the default Unix toolchain on macOS, binaries now use
+    `@rpath` to find their `.dylib` dependencies. This is required to
+    fix issues where tools run during the build couldn't find their
+    dynamic dependencies.
+  - The flag `--incompatible_disallow_empty_glob` now defaults to
+    true.
+
+Important changes:
+
+  - Native android_sdk is no longer available within Bazel. Use
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_android
+  - Add the
+    --incompatible_simplify_unconditional_selects_in_rule_attrs
+    option to simplify configurable rule attributes which contain
+    only unconditional selects; for example, if ["a"] +
+    select("//conditions:default", ["b"]) is assigned to a rule
+    attribute, it is stored as ["a", "b"].
+  - `--incompatible_disallow_unsound_directory_outputs` is deleted.
+  - `--incompatible_remote_symlinks` and
+    `--incompatible_remote_dangling_symlinks` are deleted.
+  - The default value of
+    `--experimental_remote_cache_eviction_retries` is changed to `5`.
+  - If --proto:rule_classes flag is enabled, query proto output will
+    contain rule class definitions in Stardoc proto format.
+  - Non-singleton target visibility lists can now contain
+    "//visibility:public" and "//visibility:private" elements; the
+    result is appropriately simplified when assigned to an attribute:
+    ["//foo:__subpackages__", "//visibility:public"] is saved as
+    ["//visibility:public"], ["//foo:__subpackages__",
+    "//visibility:private"] is saved as ["//foo:__subpackages__"],
+    and for consistency's sake, an empty target visibility list [] is
+    saved as ["//visibility:private"].
+  - Symbolic Macros -- and with them, Finalizers and the new
+    Macro-Aware Visibility model -- are now generally available
+    (`--experimental_enable_first_class_macros` now defaults to
+    true). Trivial `select()` values are automatically unwrapped
+    (`--incompatible_simplify_unconditional_selects_in_rule_attrs`
+    now defaults to true).
+  - Moved all Bazel Android tool and action code to rules_android.
+  - Add conlyopts and cxxopts attributes to cc rules
+  - `@bazel_tools//tools/android` no longer exists. Use
+    https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_android instead.
+  - 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.
+  - The Python six library is no longer part of @external_tools.
