Release 0.4.2 (2016-12-02)
Baseline: 6331a94
Cherry picks:
+ 7b835d9: Do not patch WORKSPACE in the release process
Incompatible changes:
- Callback functions in Skylark no longer support the cfg
parameter. This is a cleanup and only affects the signatures of
callbacks, since the parameter hasn't been set since September
2016.
Important changes:
- Alias proto_library's produce a descriptor set that contains all
srcs of its dependencies.
- proto_library supports strict proto deps.
- Top level @androidsdk support library targets have been replaced
by @androidsdk//<group id>:<artifact id>-<version> for Android
SDK Support and Google Play Services libraries.

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:
A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.
An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.
Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
