Changes Announced on July 16, 2025

Retaining support for Bazel with MSVC

We announced on January 23, 2025 that we were planning to drop support for using Bazel and MSVC together starting in v34. This plan is canceled due to Bazel’s upcoming changes to virtual includes on Windows. Clang-cl support will be kept in place as an alternative on Windows. The opt-out flag --define=protobuf_allow_msvc=true will no longer be required as of the 32.0 release.
