+```
+
+General changes
+
+- New [bazelrc file list](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/user-manual.html#where-are-the-bazelrc-files).
+  If you need to keep both the old and new lists of .rc files active
+  concurrently to support multiple versions of Bazel, you can import the old
+  file location into the new list using `try-import`. This imports a file if it
+  exists and silently exits if it does not. You can use this method to account
+  for a user file that may or may not exist
+
+- [.bazelignore](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/user-manual.html#.bazelignore)
+  is now fully functional.
+
+- The startup flag `--host_javabase` has been renamed to
+  `--server_javabase` to avoid confusion with the build flag
+  `--host_javabase`.
+
+Android
+
+- The Android resource processing pipeline now supports persistence
+  via worker processes. Enable it with
+  `--persistent_android_resource_processor`. We have observed a 50% increase
+  in build speed for clean local builds and up to 150% increase in build
+  speed for incremental local builds.
+
+C++
+
+- In-memory package //tools/defaults has been removed (controlled by
+  `--incompatible_disable_tools_defaults_package` flag). Please see
+  [migration instructions](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/backward-compatibility.html#disable-inmemory-tools-defaults-package)
+  and migrate soon, the flag will be flipped in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy
+  behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
+
+- Late bound option defaults (typical example was the `--compiler` flag, when
+  it was not specified, it’s value was computed using the CROSSTOOL) are removed
+  (controlled by `--incompatible_disable_late_bound_option_defaults` flag).
+  Please see [migration instructions](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/backward-compatibility.html#disable-late-bound-option-defaults)
+  and migrate soon, the flag will be flipped in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy
+  behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
+
+- Depsets are no longer accepted in `user_compile_flags` and `user_link_flags`
+  in the C++ toolchain API (controlled by
+  `--incompatible_disable_depset_in_cc_user_flags` flag) affects C++ users.
+  Please see [migration instructions](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/backward-compatibility.html#disable-depsets-in-c-toolchain-api-in-user-flags)
+  and migrate soon, the flag will be flipped in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy
+  behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
+
+- CROSSTOOL is no longer consulted when selecting C++ toolchain (controlled by
+  `--incompatible_disable_cc_toolchain_label_from_crosstool_proto` flag).
+  Please see [migration instructions](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/backward-compatibility.html#disallow-using-crosstool-to-select-the-cc_toolchain-label)
+  and migrate soon, the flag will be flipped in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
+
+- You can now use [`toolchain_identifier` attribute](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/857d4664ce939f240b1d10d8d2baca6c6893cfcb)
+  on `cc_toolchain` to pair it with CROSSTOOL toolchain.
+
+- C++ specific Make variables
+  are no longer passed from the `CppConfiguration`, but from the C++ toolchain
+  (controlled by `--incompatible_disable_cc_configuration_make_variables` flag).
+  Please see [migration instructions](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/backward-compatibility.html#disallow-using-c-specific-make-variables-from-the-configuration)
+  and migrate soon, the flag will be flipped
+  in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
+
+- Skylark api accessing C++
+  toolchain in `ctx.fragments.cpp` is removed (controlled by
+  `--incompatible_disable_legacy_cpp_toolchain_skylark_api` flag).
+  Please migrate soon, the flag will be flipped
+  in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
+
+- cc_binary link action no longer hardcodes
+  `-static-libgcc` for toolchains that support embedded runtimes
+  (guarded by [`--experimental_dont_emit_static_libgcc`](https://source.bazel.build/bazel/+/2f281960b829e964526a9d292d4c3003e4d19f1c)
+  temporarily). Proper deprecation using `--incompatible` flags will follow.
+
+Java
+
+- Future versions of Bazel will require a locally installed JDK
+  for Java development. Previously Bazel would fall back to using
+  the embedded `--server_javabase` if no JDK as available. Pass
+  `--incompatible_never_use_embedded_jdk_for_javabase` to disable the
+  legacy behaviour.
+
+- `--javacopt=` no longer affects compilations of tools that are
+  executed during the build; use `--host_javacopt=` to change javac
+  flags in the host configuration.
+
+Objective C
+
+- `objc_library` now supports the module_name attribute.
+
+Skylark
+
+- Adds `--incompatible_expand_directories` to automatically expand
+  directories in skylark command lines. Design doc:
+  https://docs.google.com/document/d/11agWFiOUiz2htBLj6swPTob5z78TrCxm8DQE4uJLOwM
+
+- Support fileset expansion in ctx.actions.args(). Controlled by
+  `--incompatible_expand_directories`.
+
+Windows
+
+- `--windows_exe_launcher` is deprecated, this flag will be removed
+  soon. Please make sure you are not using it.
+
+- Bazel now supports the symlink runfiles tree on Windows with
+  `--experimental_enable_runfiles` flag. For more details, see
+  [this doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hnYmU1BmtCSJOUvvDAK745DSJQCapToJxb3THXYMrmQ).
+
+Other Changes
+
+- A new experimental option `--experimental_ui_deduplicate` has been added. It
+  causes the UI to attempt to deduplicate messages from actions to keep the
+  console output cleaner.
+
+- Add `--modify_execution_info`, a flag to customize action execution
+  info.
+
+- Add ExecutionInfo to aquery output for ExecutionInfoSpecifier
+  actions.
+
+- When computing `--instrumentation_filter`, end filter patterns with
+  "[/:]" to match non-top-level packages exactly and treat
+  top-level targets consistently.
+
+- Added the `bazel info server_log` command, which obtains the main Bazel
+  server log file path. This can help debug Bazel issues.
+
+- `aapt shrink` resources now properly respect filter configurations.
