### Release 7.2.0 (2024-06-10)
Bazel 7.2.0 is a minor LTS release. It is fully backward compatible with Bazel 7.0 and contains selected changes by the Bazel community and Google engineers.
#### C++ / Objective-C
- The default Unix C++ toolchain now supports the `parse_headers` feature to validate header files with `--process_headers_in_dependencies`. ([#22369](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22369))
#### CLI
- Bazel on Linux and BSD now respects the XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable instead of assuming that ~/.cache/bazel is writable. ([#21817](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/21817))
#### Configurability
- aquery: `//foo:bar` now means "all configured targets with label `//foo:bar`" instead of "choose an arbitrary configured target with label `//foo:bar`". This is in line with cquery behavior. ([#22135](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22135))
- Starlark command-line flags can now be referred to through `alias` targets. ([#22212](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22212))
#### External Deps
- Added a new flag `--incompatible_disable_native_repo_rules` to disable native repo rule usage in WORKSPACE. All native repo rules now have a Starlark counterpart that can be used in both WORKSPACE and Bzlmod; see [#22080](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/22080) for more details. ([#22203](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22203))
- The format for `MODULE.bazel.lock` is now less likely to result in merge conflicts and is updated incrementally, with only new files downloaded from registries and existing ones taken from the repository cache (if configured). ([#22351](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22351))
- Added a new `include()` directive to `MODULE.bazel` files, which allows the root module file to be divided into multiple segments. ([#22204](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22204))
- Fixed certain deadlocks in repo fetching with worker threads (`--experimental_worker_for_repo_fetching=auto`). ([#22261](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22261), [#22573](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22573))
- bzlmod `git_override` now accepts the `strip_prefix` arg and passes it to the underlying `git_repository` call. ([#22137](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22137))
- The source.json file in registries now supports the overlay attribute in addition to patches. http_archive now has two more attributes, remote_file_urls and remote_file_integrity, to support this use case. ([#22325](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22325), [#22525](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22525))
- `print` statements in module files are now only executed for the root module and modules subject to non-registry overrides (e.g. `local_path_override`). ([#22263](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22263))
- The new `refresh` value for `--lockfile_mode` behaves like the `update` mode, but additionally forces a refresh of mutable registry content (yanked versions and missing module versions) when switched to or from time to time while enabled. ([#22371](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22371))
- `bazel fetch` now more reliably fetches repos required for a build by triggering the analysis phase. ([#21841](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/21841))
- `Label` instances passed to `print` or `fail` as positional arguments are now formatted with apparent repository names (optimized for human readability). ([#22460](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22460))
- Changes to environment variables read via `mctx.getenv` now correctly invalidate module extensions. ([#22541](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22541))
- Git merge conflicts in `MODULE.bazel.lock` files can be resolved automatically. See https://bazel.build/external/lockfile#automatic-resolution for the required setup. ([#22650](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22650))
#### Local Execution
- Paths in the Linux sandbox are now again identical to those outside the sandbox, even with `--incompatible_sandbox_hermetic_tmp`. ([#22407](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22407))
#### Remote Execution
- The combined coverage report produced via `--combined_report=lcov` is now announced on the BES via the new `CoverageReport` event. ([#22327](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22327))
- The compact and full execution logs now contain start times for spawns (if available). ([#22341](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22341))
- Added a new flag `--incompatible_modify_execution_info_additive`, which causes the `--modify_execution_info` flag to become additive when specified multiple times. ([#22316](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/22316))
- Added new flags `--experimental_remote_output_service` and `--experimental_remote_output_service_output_path_prefix` for [remote output service](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/discussions/20933)
#### Starlark / Build Language
- Starlark `min` and `max` buitins now allow a `key` callback, similarly to `sorted`. ([#21960](https://togithub.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/21960))
- `native.package_relative_label` can now be used in rule initializers.
