Rolling releases are tested on Bazel's test suite on Bazel CI and
74+
Google’s internal test suite. Incompatible flags may be
75+
used to ease the burden of migrating to new functionality, but default behaviors
76+
may change with any rolling release. (You can also use rolling releases to
77+
preview the next LTS version. For example, `5.0.0-pre.20210604.6` is based on a
78+
candidate cut on 2021-06-04 and represents a milestone towards the 5.0 LTS
79+
release.)
80+
81+
You can download the latest rolling release from
82+
[GitHub](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases). Alternatively, you can
83+
set up
84+
[Bazelisk v1.9.0](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/releases/tag/v1.9.0)
85+
(or later) to use a specific version name or the
86+
“rolling” identifier, which uses the most recent rolling release. For more
87+
details, see the
88+
[Bazelisk documentation](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk#how-does-bazelisk-know-which-bazel-version-to-run).
