--------------

* Improve locking logic around downloading targets for multiple concurrent plz executions

Version 17.2.2

--------------

* `format`: avoid unneeded parentheses around `in`/`not in` expressions (#2871)

* Pass correct output of uname -a (#2868)

* Fix occasional hang when some targets are not queued

Version 17.2.1

---------------

Version 17.1.0

---------------

* Handle function calls in `isinstance` (#2796)

* Allow `plz query deps` to outout the deps as a dotviz graph (#2801)

* Added a `--notest` flag to `plz watch`, which will then only build test targets.

This can be useful to do a quick smoke test. (#2810)

* Handle malformed input better in the language server to avoid crashes (#2810)

* Improve performance by implementing the `any` and `all` list functions in

Go (#2813)

* Added `--env` to `plz debug` to allow setting env variables in the debug

environment (#2819)

* Support function parameter aliases in `plz fmt` (#2822)

* Added `get_named_outs` which returns the named outputs of a target as a

dictionary (#2808)

being marked built too early (#2826)

* Fixed issue with finding the package directory with remote execution

when subrepos define a package root e.g. `go_repo` (#2828)

Version 17.0.0

---------------

* Remove all the built in language rules rules in favour of plugins. Use

`plz init plugin [plugin name]` to migrate e.g. `plz init plugin go`

(#2668, #2674, #2651, #2695, #2739)

* Support code completions for `plz exec` (#2786)

* Add `patches` parameters to the subrepo rules to apply a patch file to

the repo (#2745)

* Remove `ExcludeSymlinksInGlob` feature flag, making `glob()` exclude

symlinks by default. This makes it play better with `plz generate`,

however if you need a glob to match symlinks, pass

`include_symlinks = True`. (#2747)

* Remove `PackageOutputsStrictness` feature flag, making Please fail the

build instead of logging when it detects a conflict in package outputs.

(#2736)

exception if it matches no files. Pass `allow_empty = True` to `glob()`

* Remove the deprecated exception types from the build language (#2150)

* Remove `--in_wd` from `plz run` in favour of `--wd .` (#2677)

* Change the way preloaded subincludes work to resolve a number of

race conditions. Subincludes are no longer preloaded when parsing

a BUILD file for subinclude. This means you will have to add

subincludes to `.build_def` files, and the BUILD file that contains

the subinclude target. (#2658)

* Remove JavaBinaryExecutableByDefault feature making Java binaries

self executable by default (#2662)

* Remove --prepare flag from `plz build` (#2666)

#2127

labels on transitive dependencies, and `package_name()` now has a label

parameter that can be used to get the package of a specific label.

* Secrets in the [BuildEnv] section no longer contribute to the config hash

#1387

#1330

Version 15.6.0

referred to as tools in other rules. See `java_toolchain()` for an

example. #1243

* Rewrote `java_toolchain()` to use aforementioned entry points.

NB: this implementation lacks support for javac workers #1263

* Added `go_toolchain()` build rule. This is still a work in progress

but currently downloads the golang distribution. This can then be

used to set GoTool in your `.plzconfig`. #1286

* The pleasew wrapper script will now pass `$PLZ_ARGS` when it invokes

please much like the bootstrap script. This can be useful in a CI

This uses a modified version of Bazel's buildifier that supports more

of please's build language. #1265

coverage. #1271

* Allow `plz query somepath` to read from stdin #1269

* Added `--log_append` which will make please append to `plz-out/log/build.log`

instead of overriding it. This can be useful when piping outputs from

`plz query` back into please. #1273

a milestone in its development, we will write up a summary of recent changes

and that release will be marked as a milestone. Please will print a dialogue

linking to this writeup when updating. Watch this space, we will also be

distributing these via a newsletter! #1281

* Remote execution: turn off gzip compression by default (#1283) and add support
