February 2026 (2026-02) – Bazel Central Registry delivered a major dependency upgrade and build-system enhancements to improve file comparison and merge workflows for users. Upgraded diffutils to 3.12 and added four new cc_binary targets (cmp, diff, sdiff, diff3) into the Bazel build to enable richer diff/merge capabilities. The change is tracked under the commit 3d72185b7c2149fcfcc7dd1304fd8cffee8b15b7 and closes Bazel Central Registry issue #4527.
