Release 7.6.0rc1 (2025-03-11)

Bazel 7.6.0 is a minor LTS release. It is fully backward compatible with Bazel 8.0 and contains selected changes by the Bazel community and Google engineers.

External Deps

  • The repo_name parameter of bazel_dep can now be set to None to mark it a "nodep" dependency -- that is, the bazel_dep specification is only honored if the target module already exists in the dependency graph by some other means. (#25509)
