• Enable use_default_shell_env everywhere when using bazel 7.x+
• Add build flags to allow overriding platforms used in transitions

1.8.0

What's Changed

• Replace DEVELOPER_DIR in debug prefix mapping with /PLACEHOLDER_DEVELOPER_DIR to be more clear that it's not the same as $DEVELOPER_DIR
• Add ~/Applications to allowed include directories to fix declared inclusion bazel errors if you keep Xcode there. If you keep Xcode in a non-standard directory you need to set --repo_env=BAZEL_ALLOW_NON_APPLICATIONS_XCODE=1 to allow arbitrary directories
• Remove cpp_linker_flags feature which resulted in duplicate -lc++ linker flags causing a warning with ld-prime in Xcode 15 beta 4. These options are passed elsewhere so this shouldn't result in any behavior change

This release is compatible with 5.x LTS, 6.x LTS, and bazel 7.x rolling releases

1.4.0

What's Changed

• Move Apple CC toolchain from bazel into apple_support. This is a major change that will be required to switch to when moving to bazel 7.0. This toolchain is required for targeting any non-macOS Apple platform and has many Apple specific improvements if you're only building for macOS. You can migrate to this now and get some benefits over the builtin toolchain immediately, see the readme for setup instructions
• Add __BAZEL_EXECUTION_ROOT__ replacement in the toolchain. This allows you to pass hermetic flags that reference the execution root in the case of flags like -fdebug-prefix-map that require absolute paths
• Remove O1 from sanitizer feature flag defaults
• Add coverage_prefix_map feature passing -fcoverage-prefix-map to ObjC/C* compiles by default. This eliminates absolute paths in binaries built for coverage
• Improve bzlmod support, thanks @BalestraPatrick!

This release is compatible with 5.x LTS and bazel 6.x rolling releases.
