Project Updates + Q&A
summary
Project status: Bazel 1.0 moves to conventional semantic versioning with incompatible change flags that sit for about three months before flipping; CI is public and accepts external projects; a new Bazelisk installer controls when versions arrive; binary size shrinks, Windows support becomes native, remote execution adds “build without the bytes.” Tooling includes Bazelbench profiling and an action-graph query API. Community growth triples .bzl files (25k → ~100k); work focuses on rule ecosystem, federation for dependency releases, and stargaze/Starlark API harmonization; recursive workspaces remain unsolved.
