5.8.0

Notes

A number of dependencies are blocked on being updated to their latest versions at present due to two pending issues on upstream repositories. For Protobuf, rules_java and grpc-gateway, there is a conflicting issue when multiple repositories specify Maven dependencies with a lock-file on the @maven name. For gRPC, no recent versions have been published to the Bazel Central Registry.

Version Updates

None

5.7.0

5.6.0

Changes

• Removed all uses of ctx.actions.run_shell() from the core module, which improves compatibility with Windows and avoids path escaping issues
• The gRPC-Gateway gateway_openapiv2_compile rule has been reverted to not use directory output due to issues with selecting single outputs from the directory. A new gateway_openapiv2_combined_compile rule has been added to create a single output file as {name}.swagger.json
• Migrated Swift from grpc/grpc-swift to grpc/grpc-swift-2
• Switched C# gRPC plugin to use deterministic outputs rather than a tree (dir) artifact output
• Fixed bug where plugins with same name used on same compilation target could conflict. This was not possible with the builtin plugins in these rules, but could have been hit by users with custom plugins

5.5.0

Changes

• Restored C# language support

Version Updates

• Updated Bazel rules_cc to 0.1.4
• Updated Bazel rules_java to 8.14.0

5.4.0

Changes

• Switched Maven dependencies for Java and Scala to share the common maven name for maven.install, rather than use a unique deconflicted name that can cause classpath issues with duplicate dependencies with differing versions. This means that the Protobuf and gRPC dependencies used internally by java_proto_library etc will be resolved alongside any dependencies from the root module and the versions can be overridden there. Note that the Java protoc plugins are not sourced from Maven and thus care needs to be taken to ensure the runtime version guarantees are met. Scala version specific dependencies are still sourced from separate Maven repositories. See #449

Version Updates

• Updated Bazel buildifier_prebuilt to 8.2.0.2
• Updated Bazel gazelle to 0.44.0
• Updated Bazel rules_cc to 0.1.2
• Updated Bazel rules_go to 0.55.1

5.2.0

Changes

• Restored Scala language support
• Restored Swift langauge support
• Fixed usage of options attr on Bazel 8, where the Label canonicalisation has changed
• Fixed loading of Buf protoc lint plugin
• Fixed loading of Buf protoc breaking plugin on linux/arm64
• Switched gRPC-Gateway to be loaded directly from Bazel bzlmod dependency rather than via Go/Gazelle
• The gateway_openapiv2_compile() rule now uses a directory as output, to allow creating a combined output file. #382
• Fixed bzl_library referencing incorrect dependency in @protobuf
• Switched from @bazel_tool//platforms to @platforms
• The Python dependencies for Protobuf and gRPC are now loaded from the @protobuf and @grpc bzlmod workspaces respectively, rather than from PyPI wheels. This is necessary to prevent version skew between the protoc version and the runtime version, but unfortunately may result in longer uncached build times
• Added CI testing on MacOS (x64 and arm)

Version Updates

• Updated Bazel protobuf to 31.1
• Updated Bazel rules_go to 0.55.0
• Updated Bazel rules_java to 8.11.0
