This is a human-friendly changelog in a keepachangelog.com style format. Because this changelog is for end-user consumption of meaningful changes,only a summary of a release‘s changes is described. This means every commit is not necessarily mentioned, and internal refactors or code cleanups are omitted unless they’re particularly notable.
A brief description of the categories of changes:

: Some behavior changed. If the change is expected to break a public API or supported behavior, it will be marked as BREAKING. Note that beta APIs will not have breaking API changes called out.Fixed
: A bug, or otherwise incorrect behavior, was fixed.Added
: A new feature, API, or behavior was added in a backwards compatible manner.(bzlmod)

.Python version patch level bumps:
(deps) Upgrade rules_go 0.39.1 -> 0.41.0; this is so gazelle integration works with upcoming Bazel versions
(multi-version) The distribs
attribute is no longer propagated. This attribute has been long deprecated by Bazel and shouldn't be used.
Calling //python:repositories.bzl#py_repositories()
is required. It has always been documented as necessary, but it was possible to omit it in certain cases. An error about @rules_python_internal
means the py_repositories()
call is missing in WORKSPACE
.
(bzlmod) The pip.parse
extension will generate os/arch specific lock file entries on bazel>=6.4
.
(bzlmod, entry_point) Added py_console_script_binary
, which allows adding custom dependencies to a package's entry points and customizing the py_binary
rule used to build it.
New Python versions available: 3.8.17
, 3.11.5
using https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20230826.
(gazelle) New # gazelle:python_generation_mode file
directive to support generating one py_library
per file.
(python_repository) Support netrc
and auth_patterns
attributes to enable authentication against private HTTP hosts serving Python toolchain binaries.
//python:packaging_bzl
added, a bzl_library
for the Starlark files //python:packaging.bzl
requires.
(py_wheel) Added the incompatible_normalize_name
feature flag to normalize the package distribution name according to latest Python packaging standards. Defaults to False
for the time being.
(py_wheel) Added the incompatible_normalize_version
feature flag to normalize the package version according to PEP440 standard. This also adds support for local version specifiers (versions with a +
in them), in accordance with PEP440. Defaults to False
for the time being.
New Python versions available: 3.8.18
, 3.9.18
, 3.10.13
, 3.11.6
, 3.12.0
using https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20231002. 3.12.0
support is considered beta and may have issues.
(bzlmod) The entry_point
macro is no longer supported and has been removed in favour of the py_console_script_binary
macro for bzlmod
users.
(bzlmod) The pip.parse
no longer generates {hub_name}_{py_version}
hub repos as the entry_point
macro has been superseded by py_console_script_binary
.
(bzlmod) The pip.parse
no longer generates {hub_name}_{distribution}
hub repos.
(whl_library) No longer restarts repository rule when fetching external dependencies improving initial build times involving external dependency fetching.
(gazelle) Improve runfiles lookup hermeticity.
pip.parse
can no longer automatically use the default Python version; this was an unreliable and unsafe behavior. The python_version
arg must always be explicitly specified.main
arg is now correctly computed and usually optional.pip.parse
no longer requires a call for whatever the configured default Python version is.@python_aliases
renamed to `@python_versionspip.parse
arg name
renamed to hub_name
pip.parse
arg incompatible_generate_aliases
removed and always true.pip.parse
can be called multiple times with different Python versionspip.parse
to reference the default python toolchain and interpreterwhl_mods
