v3.6.0 Changes
October 06, 2020
🚀 Release 3.6.0 (2020-10-06)

Baseline: aa0d97c

Cherry picks:
- 32c88da:
  ⏪ Patch RuleContext for android_binary.deps to restore legacy
  behavior.
- db9fc88:
  ✅ android_test also needs the legacy behavior in
  RuleContext.getPrerequisites.
- 144d514:
  Update android_sdk_repository to create a valid, but useless,
  repository
- bb11f92:
  🏗 Patch upb to fix build error with gcc 10
- 9f06be4:
  🏗 Patch upb to fix build error with gcc 10 (third_party)
- b67b75e:
  Fix issue where libtool_check_unique isn't found for sandbox
  🏗 builds
Incompatible changes:
- 💻 --experimental_ui_limit_console_output is removed. Users of
  💻 --experimental_ui_limit_console_output=1 for silencing terminal
  output should use --ui_event_filters= instead.
- --proto:instantiation_stack must be enabled in addition to
  --record_rule_instantiation_callstack to see call stack in proto
  output from blaze query.
🆕 New features:
- 👍 cc_common.compile support for include_prefix/strip_include_prefix
- 👷 Multiplexed persistent workers: Use
  👷 --experimental_worker_max_multiplex_instances to configure the
  👷 number of WorkRequests that are sent concurrently to one worker
  process. The --worker_max_instances flag will no longer be used
  👷 to determine max instances for multiplex workers, since the two
  👷 have different resource requirements. Multiplex workers will by
  0️⃣ default have a max instances of 8.
Important changes:
- The prelude file (//tools/build_rules:prelude_bazel) is now
  🖨 processed as a Starlark module, rather than being sourced into
  🏗 the BUILD file textually. This may cause slight breakages
  depending on the content of the prelude file. (Use of the prelude
  🚚 file is discouraged as it will be removed in the long term.)
- Removed --experimental_ignore_deprecated_instrumentation_spec and
  🗄 cleaned up the old deprecated behavior.
- ➕ Added CODEBASE.md, a description of the Bazel codebase.
- Removed the flag --experimental_transparent_compression.
- Removed the flag --experimental_action_args.
- 📜 Stop needlessly parsing WORKSPACE files from external
  repositories.
- 👀 Dot ('.') is now allowed in workspace names. See
  #11837.
- 🐎 This change can cause memory and performance regressions for some
  🏗 builds with C++ dependencies, due to extra actions being executed.
  RELNOTES: None
- 🏗 Building Android apps for legacy multi-dex (pre-L) now require a
  main-dex list if the application does not fit into a single DEX
  file.
- 👷 Puts the experimental_worker_multiplex flag to use.
- 👍 In Starlark, the Args object supports a new parameter file format
  'flag_per_line', compatible with the Abseil flags library.
- The flag --incompatible_no_support_tools_in_action_inputs is
  ✂ removed.
- 👌 Support for NDK 21 added
- 🖨 Bazel will now skip printing action stdout/stderr contents if
  💻 they exceed --experimental_ui_max_stdouterr_memory_bytes.
- The Starlark interpreter now correctly emits an error
  if the operand of the first loop in a list comprehension
  refers to a variable bound by a later loop, such as y in
  this example:
  [e1 for x in f(y) in e2 for y in e3] # error: undefined y
  ^
  This may cause latent dynamic errors to become static errors.
- ➕ Added support for a 'supports-graceful-termination' execution
  requirement and tag, which causes Bazel to send a SIGTERM to any
  🏷 tagged
  actions before sending a delayed SIGKILL. This is to give
  actions, and more
  ✅ specifically tests, a chance to clean up after themselves.
- Non-android targets can again be built when
  android_sdk_repository is present but invalid.
