+    visibility,
+    attribute inheritance, and rule finalizers; and remove

+    attribute from starlark_doc_extract output for aspects.
+  - Java tests are no longer run with a `SecurityManager` that
+    prevents `System.exit`, since `SecurityManager` functionality is
+    being removed from the JDK.
