## Bazel versions compatibility
|
|
|
|
|
2023-06-09 10:29:12 +00:00
|
|
|
Works with Bazel after 4.2.0.
|
2022-11-09 11:54:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following flags are required in Bazel 4.x but not Bazel 5.x or newer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `--experimental_enable_aggregating_middleman=False`
|
2021-01-25 19:07:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the rules may be compatible with older versions of Bazel but support may break
|
|
|
|
in future changes as these older versions are not tested.

## Caveats
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* FreeBSD support is currently experimental and on a best-effort basis.
|
|
|
|
Google currently doesn't have a CI test environment for FreeBSD,
|
|
|
|
but please make your voice heard by upvoting this
|
|
|
|
[issue](https://github.com/bazelbuild/continuous-integration/issues/258).
