- Upstream update to 6.3.0
* Highlights
- The new bazel mod command allows users to inspect their external dependency graph in Bzlmod. See documentation for details.
- Full lockfile support has been added to Bzlmod and is now enabled by default. See documentation for details.
* General
- Options specified on the pseudo-command common in .rc files are now ignored by commands that do not support them as long as they are valid options for any Bazel command. Previously, commands that did not support all options given for common would fail to run. These previous semantics of common are now available via the new always pseudo-command. (#18609)
