Release 6.0.0-pre.20221020.1 (2022-10-27)

Baseline: e7218d5

Incompatible changes:

  - In package_group's `packages` attribute, the syntax "//..." now
    refers to all packages in the same repository as the package
    group, rather than all packages everywhere. The new item "public"
    can be used instead to obtain the old behavior. In `bazel query
    --output=proto` (and `--output=xml`), the `packages` attribute
    now serializes with the leading double slash included (for
    instance, `//foo/bar/...` instead of `foo/bar/...`). See also
    bazelbuild#16355, bazelbuild#16323, and bazelbuild#16391.

New features:

  - Support local_repository in Bazel Registry's source.json file

Important changes:

  - Record hermetic packaged JDK modules file size in deploy JAR
    manifest 'JDK-Lib-Modules-Size' attribute.
  - .bzl files may now set a visibility to guard what other .bzl and
    BUILD files may load them. See [...] for more information.
